    At last! A foolproof way to lose weight. It is thought that the average Venezuelan has lost nineteen pounds in the last year. Here's how to lose weight the Venezuelan way!

    You're the one sharing jokes at their expense.

    Show me a leftist who thinks it's funny. Must he some, but I doubt you know of any. Feel free to Google.

    A co-worker of mine's father lives in Venezuela and is very sick. I doubt he thinks it's funny.

    Come to think of it, the serious reporting that I can remember on the plight of Venezuelans comes from NPR.

    I remember the left here praising their government not too many years ago. Socialism at its finest.

    I remember many in the media talking about how wonderful it was there under Chavez. We have $3 a gal Gas and under wonderful Chavez, they had 7cent per gallon gas.

    So we started out talking about how this isn't funny, then you changed it to the leftists "here" praised Chavez, and now you've moved to the leftist media. Any more goalpost moving or can I go ahead and kick now.

    I have not moved the goal post. Read closely what I said instead of applying what someone else said.

    Let me help you out. The source of this video is a communist dissident. Notice that the guy at the end says "no." The professor is the fool for first rejoicing in socialism and then saying that it Chavisimo when it is clear that socialism collapsed Venezuela.

    Wow, it was not me that said starvation is amusing. The source of the video is Hispanic communist dissidents. I doubt if NPR told you about the Cuban military in Venezuela or how it is a communist/socialist plan to deliberately starve the population or how Chavez's daughter has five or six billion dollars stolen from the people by her thug father. Did NPR mention the role of the fascist Peronist Pope in all this misery?

    I did and stand by statement. I brought up the fact that it wasn't funny and in predictable BB fashion, the liberal deflection was pulled off the shelf instead of CMG taking responsibility for sharing this garbage. Then you waded in and when pressed you changed from "here" to the "media." Thus moving the goal posts when you realized that you probably couldn't find anyone here defending the Venezuelan government. It's obvious and out there for all to see.

    With your words in the opening Justabove the video making a joke. It's not funny and neither is your pedantic handwringing trying to avoid taking responsibility for it. It's gross.

    You are missing the point entirely. As I pointed out to you before, this is the work of a communist dissident. Notice that the last word of the video is from the American journalist, who says, "No." As the anti-communists have been pointing out for a long time it is the work of socialism/communism to starve the population. The starvation in Venezuela is deliberate and a plan by the Castros, who Oscar Arias, former President of Costa Rica and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, are the de facto rulers of Venezuela, which the communists dissidents properly call Cubazuela. The Russians ten days ago sent a tanker of oil to Cuba because of the communist-induced collapse of the vast Venezuelan oil fields. Other players in Venezuela are Iran and communist China and North Korea. Also, Venezuela and Cuba are heavily involved in narco-terrorism.

    You should support the communist dissidents, the only sane voices in the Latin American.

    I do and can do that without making fun of a tragic situation unlike how you used YOUR WORDS to make the joke.

    Really, you are the one who mentioned "funny" and "joke" and then tried to ascribe those things to me. You have failed to deal with the issues and have tried to say that anti-communism is just joking. You are so far out in left field that radar can't find you. No one but you said that the video was a joke or an attempt to be funny. Those are only your words. You are responsible for your words and you only.

    I said the left. You assumed "here." I was not on these boards when Chavez was in power. Let me clarify, it is not funny people are starving, but it is hilarious socialism failed yet again. And the poster boy of socialism to boot.

    You said the word "here" and the timeline would be irrelevant to offer up this so called praise.

    As are your words yours only. The video made a joke about a diet and you did the same. Why you are unable to own it is your problem. You did make a joke about starvation being a "foolproof way to lose weight." I don't think it is clever or funny. Your dishonesty on this is unnecessary and unbecoming but par for the course. Take a long look at the mirror and think about what you posted. The video did make an anti communist comment which I already said that i agree with (you conveniently are ignoring this in order to defend your tasteless joke.)
