A few quotes:
Chavez ordered officials to closely monitor statements made by international figures during their visits to Venezuela — and deport any outspoken critics.
"How long are we going to allow a person — from any country in the world — to come to our own house to say there's a dictatorship here, that the president is a tyrant, and nobody does anything about it?" Chavez asked during his weekly television and radio program.
The Venezuelan leader's statements came after Manuel Espino, the president of Mexico's conservative ruling party, criticized Chavez during a recent pro-democracy forum in Caracas.
This guy is surprised by criticism? He's not living in reality. His freedom-of-speech problem is not going to help things. In the U.S. , which Chavez, Castro, and other featherbrains loathe, our own citizens, visiting scholars, most of the U.N. folks, and others consistently badmouth our government. In many cases, their judgements are totally inappropriate. But, deport them? Hmmmm.
