From Gateway Pundit here is a picture of Venezuelan students flooding the streets to for the third day of protests against Chavez’s shutting down of oppo media.

I post it a) because I would like to see Chavez gone sooner rather than later, b) when next you see a picture of the lamer peace demos remember what a real crowd shot looks like.

Update: The Belmont Club looks at who’s Chavez positive and their ethics:

My own personal opinion is that anyone would have to be a fool or on the Left not to recognize an incipient tyrant in Hugo Chavez. That does not necessarily mean that his opponents, like the owners of RCTV are honest or upstanding men. They may very well be thugs. That doesn’t change the fact that Hugo Chavez is a thug as well. But it seems clear to me that the Left’s criteria for judging fascisms is entirely partisan. Although they use such words as “democratically elected” or “legitimate” to justify Chavez, none of these words are really operative, except as protective coloration. What matters is that he is “their guy”. He is their thug. Principle, clearly on the Left and possibly among conservatives too, runs a far second to belief. belmont club
