Chavez spoke out against US tyranny including at the UN! Can any of our pygmy leaders dare to even mutter a word against US even at home?

tragedy fallen on the world poor and vulnerable people in such a time when imperialism is manipulating citizens of different countries to get his gains, he was a voice and struggle against tyranny and imperialism. he will remain alive in thoughts and actions of voiceless people. RIP
He was a true Muslim leader. Lots of bombast and real serious damage to his own people
Had a Trillion dollar economy at his disposal and left a country in mess with broken roads and bridges, virtually no economy to name beyond what his cronies control (and even that is not working much), no working bureaucracy (reminds one of our own leftist leader in the 70s). For all the resources in the World, we remember him for his bombast. And for showing what a leftist economy looks like even with the best of resources at their disposal.
You will definitely live in the heart of many, truly respected for your compassion and bravery, may God bless you..
Never heard of him till now@Qasim RIP
Chavez was probably the greatest leader of any small developing country, in recent times. He set an example for poor countries' politicians on how to mobilize popular support and deliver to the citizenry in meaningful ways, and not allow yourself to be bullied by powerful countries.
RIP Comrade Hugo Chavez
I have never seen such a greate leader in the world.
During one of the UN General Assembly's session, while former George W. Bush was the US President and also went to attend the UN General Assembly session Mr. Hugo Chavez said that "yesterday the devil was here".
Mr. Hugo Chavez was a man of character. My salute to the late Hugo Chavez.
Very Sad news...he was great leader.....
"Hugo Chavez demise will trend faster than Abbas Town. Deekhtay jao."
What kind of bigoted idiot tweets like that? Chavez was a global figure and everyone is offering their condolences.
We loved him when he called George Bush a devil at UN
Hugo Chavez a strong leader with many facets .................. but one who was loved by his people and that is what counts in the end.
Chavez is a hero and a man of guts!!!!
Long live, Chavez. we love you.
