Hugo Chavez Memorialized
Was Hugo Chavez a demagogic despot who cloaked his dictatorial tendencies in long-winded rhetoric about his love for the poor or a champion of an underclass who had spent too long in brutal subjugation to a wealthy elite who cared little and did less for them?

“…Don’t let yourselves be poisoned by those wandering Jews.” – Hugo Chavez

A little from column A, little from column B. Neither as bad as his detractors think, nor as good as his supporters think.
