It's interesting that an organization that would claim (repeatedly) to care about "human rights," would embrace an ideology responsible for some of the worst human rights abuses (and abusers) in history. These people have become a parody of themselves, as they attack the one nation leading the way to rid the world of tyrants...and yet, defend some of the worst abusers on this planet.
I just got done listening to some liberal woman from the Global Exchange on Oreilly's show; and I was amazed at this woman's enthusiasm for what she really believed were the wonderful reforms under Hugo Chavez.
I use to be able to just dismiss these people as useful idiots...and with the collapse of the Soviet Union, hoped they would fade away. Unfortunately, when I see the resources these people now control, along with their paid politicians...and a media willing to perpetuate their message, I see a gathering threat that will have to be confronted before they do further damage.
I heard her too. She was nuts for that dictator. Insisting that the elections were fine when we all know they were bogus.
She tried to go on and on about how wonderful the country of Venezuela is because of Chavez...medical, education, etc...all provided.
Shades of Castro..
The big lie is their main instrument of influence. They pretend to be the exact opposite of what they are. If they told the truth would anyone support them?

Amen! Welcome aboard. Do all you can to alert others.
