Thousands Protest Hugo Chavez in Venezuela

Washington, DC (TLS). In a display of spontaneous open defiance of Communist dictator Hugo Chavez, thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets Monday to protest the shutting down of a television station that had been critical of the Chavez government.

Is this the beginning of the Venezuelans' Tienanmen Square? And will the totalitarian government prevail as it did in China, or this time, will the freedom-fighters succeed in putting a restraint on Chavez's power at the very least, or in a best-case scenario, depose him?

Interestingly enough, the mainstream media did not report the Venezuelan uprising this evening. Of the major television news networks, only Fox provided extensive coverage.

In addition, the Hollywood set that supports the Communist dictator, such as Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover, were strangely silent about the average citizens taking to the streets to protest the squelching of human freedom by the Venezuelan madman.

In video feeds provided by Fox News, government forces could be seen firing tear-gas into the massive crowds. In addition, troops used rubber bullets and shot-guns to fire upon citizens. Yet the protesters refused to budge.

One citizen in particular was seen standing down an armored government vehicle as it attempted to gain closer access to the protesters. The citizen simply took his life into his own hands and stood in the middle of the street, refusing to allow the vehicle to pass.

These brave freedom-fighters need the help of the U.S. We need to help them take Chavez down. And then, rather than arresting Belafonte and Glover for treason, we should simply deport them both to a FREE Venezuela, after Chavez is gone, and let the CITIZENS in that country decide what should be done to them.

The entire world should be made to realize that Belafonte and Glover are supporting a tyrant who not only shut down a television outlet because it dared criticize the madman, but Chavez's actions also put hundreds of television actors out of work.

Thus, the outrage of the free world should be directed not only at Hugo Chavez but at people within the United States who embrace Chavez and his ideology. These are NOT nice people.
