Super! Another Fidel. Give him a year and will turn Venezuela into another third world shit hole. Viva la revolucion.
You be a red baitah boy! Yessiree, I hear redneck talk whenever I see the tag of sfres (friend to the protestwarrior).
You know, you might find yourself more comfortable in Fresno or some place like that. I believe we're going to have to start a fund for the relocation of displaced rednecks. Did you make a wrong turn on the interstate or something?

Not surprisingly, the above poster said nothing about what I posted. Listen, ad hominem attacks on me are irrelevant. Venezuela will now sink into totalitariansim unless Chavez is stopped. You honestly believe the election was fair? Why, because Carter said so? Please. When and if the votes are manually counted, I imagine the massive vote fraud will be exposed. Perhaps you should make an effort to read news sources other than Indybay.
On many threads you see sfres making inflammatory comments with no basis in fact. It doesn't really matter what the topic is, sfres is there trolling.
Still trying to figure if sfres has made it out of high school yet or is just another one of those protest warrior idiots.

Observer,
True enough, sfres tries hard. Problem is, sfres merely issues unsubstantiated statements of little worth, other than
comic relief!
I get a kick out of reading the efforts of rightwing wage slaves too ignorant to realize that is they themselves they are attacking when they attempt to serve the interests of the oligarch.
No matter.
A "safe village" for them all will do nicely.
Fresno sounds good at first glance, but then, there are so many decent folks living there and I for one don´t want to have to field their "bitching", or "bastarding" (well why not?) the fact that we "ruined their neighborhood", do you?

Sending sfres to Fresno wouldn't be fair to the fine people of Fresno. sfres can be entertaining, I agree!
