Obama's pal Chavez

[Mark@Sea]

is having protesters beaten with grappling hooks.

Check links at Instapundit, but warning - very graphic.

If there were any justice, we'd be invading along about Tuesday morning.

I wonder if Chavez will go the way of Mussolini. A meathook would do him good. Has he already won the war on his own people down there?

Give "The One" time. He already dismisses the Constitution as a inconvenience.

We will do nothing about it just like we did nothing about China running over students with tanks 20 years ago.

What could we have done to China? That's their fight. We shouldn't be doing anything

in Venezuela, either. We have our own fight to deal with. It's sad it's that way, but it

would be a stretch to think we could have told the Chicomms to stand down back

then. At least in the US we have a piece of history that reveals people with spines and broke away from this kind of tyranny. China is slowly changing. Venezuela is doing like Iran. There are quite a lot of Iranians resisting, though. Maybe the Venezuelans

will fight back.
