Does think this lying Marxist is going to reveal these facts about Chavez in his film?

A 2006 State Department report on human rights documented a slew of abuses, including data implicating Chavez's security forces in about 6,000 killings over five years.
The department's annual Country Report on Human Rights practices released in March 2008 cited The Venezuelan Program of Action and Education in Human Rights statistic of 165 unlawful killings by Chavez security forces from October 2006 through September 2007.
The group reported that it received 11 complaints of torture and 692 complaints of cruel or degrading treatment during the same period, which was actually a decline from the year before.
"Reports of beatings and other humiliating treatment of suspects during arrests were common and involved various law enforcement agencies," reads the 2008 State Department report.
Alarms have been raised recently about Chavez's crackdown on his political opponents.
Manuel Rosales, mayor of Maracaibo, dropped out of sight a few weeks ago after the government filed corruption charges against him. Supporters said he had gone into hiding, and FOX News learned Tuesday that he is seeking political asylum in Peru.
He's not alone. Antonio Ledezma, another Chavez opponent, was elected mayor of Caracas in 2008 but is being barred from his office by his own police force, which attacked him when he tried to enter it.
"What's going on is persecution," said Susan Purcell, director of the Center for Hemispheric Policy at the University of Miami.
The crackdown began after Chavez won the battle to remove presidential term limits, amending the nation's constitution in a February referendum.<
What is there to admire about all the Oliver?
I wonder whether when someone like Stone who has a way to express himself on national media is prevented from seeing the whole picture of socialism and its down side, or is he and others like him, like Sean Penn, Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte really such damned fools?
Oliver Stone should indeed move to Venezuela, and just be a part of the commie-thug dictatorship he obviously admires so much. The traitorous scumbag is clearly unworthy of breathing clean, free American air.
a.k.a. Annihilating the middle class. For all their rhetoric about the "rich," the hardcore Left is most focused on destroying the middle class.
