Well, there must be a lot of people being killed there then, because almost all of the media in Venezuela is against Chavez. All of the newspapers and television stations are owned by the same large corporations that are against his socialist policies, and they were the ones who helped to organize the recall election of 2 years ago.
Yet, I have not read any reports of opposition being killed or jailed except for those who tried to overthrow the government in the 2002 coup. But then again, most of them have not been jailed either as they have been given assylum in the United States.
I wonder what would happed if Venezuela had given political assylum to a group that had tried to overthrow the government of the United States. What do you think we would have done?
Oh wait....nevermind....ignore that question....I forgot, but I can't possibly compare Venezuela to the United States. Silly me....
