Chavez and criticism
Hugo Chavez has announced that he will expel any foreigner who criticizes him or the Venezuelan government while in Venezuela. According to this article, he stated:
How long are we going to allow a person - from any country in the world - to come to our own house to say there’s a dictatorship here, that the president is a tyrant, and nobody does anything about it?
So, his response to people who say he is a dictator and a tyrant is to kick them out of the country? Is it even necessary to point out that kicking people out of a country for criticizing the government is what tyrants and dictators do?
And is it necessary to point out that a few months ago, Chavez was here in the US criticizing our country and cracking jokes about Bush’s smell in front of the entire U.N.?
