Troops fire tear gas, rubber bullets in TV station protest

[SPARKY]

They were rioting. Did you completely miss what happened in California?

Sure, every protest is a "riot" to Chavez. Your hate of Bush has made you stupid.

Hooray LA is turning left - Ponky 07

I'm not advocating violence, although it doesn't seem to bother you. Your baseless hatred for Chavez has made you deaf, dumb and stupid.

[whottt]

Seriously dan...you are so out of touch with anything that doesn't involve hating Bush...you are more American Centrist


How can you defend this ?

You really can't see where it's going?

Never mind...I already know the answer to that.

Hitler was freely elected too...

[whottt]

The funniest thing is watching you tell the Argies what's going on...

These dudes have tasted the sweetness of both extremes...

No, I just know the history of American hemogamy in latin america, and our long-standing covert policy to discredit the Chavez governent by any means necessary - even lying.

Chavez does not need to be discredited with lies. Simply go and dig the facts about his regime. Please justify the foillowing:

1) Workers of state-owned companies need to dress with red attire.

2) Workers of state-owned companies have to attend compulsary marxist indoctrination

3) When oil was below $20 a barrell, world class oil and gas companies invested billions of dollars to develop oil fields in the Orinoco strip, running huge risks. Now that oil is at $60, Chavez singlehandedly changes the rules of the game and forces these international oil companies to sell their stakes to PDVSA

4) Chavez nationalizes the electric and telecommunications industries.

What strong-arm tactic is that? The FCC can refuse to renew broadcast licenses here for equal offenses and does. Throwing the station manager in jail would have been a strong-arm tactic.

Can you name just one station that has had it license
suspended or revoked or no renewed because of their
political leanings?

[QUOTE]What about the silencing of the American press?

Use of the public airwaves is a privilege not a right. A government license is required to use some of the inherently limited TV/radio bandwidth, and every democracy in the world regulates those licenses in some way, often demanding proof that the station is operated in the public interest.

Prior to Reagan, we had the "Fair Doctrine" here, that encouraged a broader political discussion (than the fascist diet of talk radio and M$M we have now) by, among other things, requiring that opposing political views (to those of the station) be given equal time. The corporate fascists had first to get rid of the "Fairness Doctrine" (and a few other things, like the progressive tax) in order to follow the Reagan Era of Greed with the Bush Era of Naked Looting--by greatly narrowing the spectrum of allowable political opinion to the right and the far right, thus to silence and demoralize the great progressive American majority.[UNQUOTE]

you mean the we don't have the fairness doctrine now.
The liberals own the printed media and all three major
networks and CNN, MSNBC. The so called fairness
doctrine was nothing more than a "shut up" the
opposition law. Thank God it is gone and may it never
come back to life. Although the Dimms are already
making noises it wants it back.
