Hugo Chavez said to be critical in Cuban hosp.

[Soggy in NOLA]

Apparently Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez underwent abdominal surgery in a hospital in Cuba around June 10. Rumors indicate that he is in critical condition. For some reason the A.P. choses not to print the story. What does the situation indicate? The medical treatment in socialist Venezuela is so bad that the president doesn't risk surgery in his own country. Radical communist Cuba and Venezuela are closely alligned. Left wing radicalism is so important to a dying man that he would not ask for treatment in the greatest Country in the world. The A.P. refuses to discuss the issue because they don't want to open a can 'O political worms that might connect Obama to Chavez.

credible link? cause racist rightwingnut rants don't exactly scream credible.

Racist?

And yes, you are oh so credible.

Venezuela tells foes stop dreaming of Chavez death | Reuters

"President Chavez is recovering well from his surgery. His enemies should stop dreaming and his friends should stop worrying," Vice Foreign Minister Temir Porras said on the social networking site Twitter late on Saturday.

"The only thing that has metastasized is the cancer of the Miami Herald and the rest of the right-wing press."​

Bummer. I was kinda hoping for better news.... like an Obit. Oh well, we can wait.

It's not like leftist totalitarian regimes are completely honest with the press. He could be dead already.

True. For all we know, he's been dead for months.... they have a habit of keeping their leaders alive beyond their actual 'best before' date.

Is it racist to report that Chavez is in a Cuban hospital? Go ahead and play the race card jill but meanwhile Google up "chavez cuban hospital" it's all over the place except maybe the A.P. and huff 'n puff and Soros.

Yup.

Considering he is in Cuba, not exactly a basiton of press freedom, hard information is difficult to come by. What is known is that he is not appearing in public, he is still in Cuba, and no offical Venezualan news feed is answering questions with much authority or veracity.

From the times, not exactly a right wing paper:

Thank you for the link. I have no doubt that Chavez is being treated in cuba. it was the o/p's other surmises that i felt were the product of his own biases and hatreds.

I am glad to have read an actual article.

The other posts were a bit over the top but to paraphrase the American philosopher Yogi Berra, it ain't biased if you are right.

Ass Cancer. How fitting. What will the Left do without his butt to sniff? Hmm?

The lack of him in front of a camera is a good question. This is a guy who never met a press opprotunity he didnt like.

His rule, while democratically elected, really a cult of personality. I'm not sure his goverment could survive his death.

Did he go in for a face transplant....it is really that serious.

according to Sean Penn Cuba has the best health care system in the world so Chavez was smart to go to the right place...
