I'd say hate is the wrong word. Fear would be more appropriate.

case in point

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday that he and Cuban ally Fidel Castro risk being more conservative than U.S. President Barack Obama as Washington prepares to take control of General Motors Corp.

During one of Chavez's customary lectures on the "curse" of capitalism and the bonanzas of socialism, the Venezuelan leader made reference to GM's bankruptcy filing, which is expected to give the U.S. government a 60 percent stake in the 100-year-old former symbol of American might.

"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Chavez joked on a live television broadcast.

Sorry but joking about becoming a socialist nation just isn't funny at all. IMO

C'mon, Dell - this wasn't done to become a socialist nation, and you know darn well the alternative of the government ignoring it was happening wasn't deemed as good for the country by anybody with any decent bonafides in finance, right, left or center.

What do you care what that nutjob Hugo Chavez says? Are you kidding me? You know what he said about Bush?

I don't remember him calling Bush 'comrade'. Guess those amazing caribean dancers so close to each other changed it all. Since Hummer has been sold off to the Chinese are they now going to make the Humvees for the military or are we going to downsize and transport troops by bicycle?
