Fox News calls him a dictator and a terrorist. 
Seriously, most Americans are really misinformed about Chavez. As you said, he's a democratically elected leader, he's got socialist views, but he's not a communist.
333386 does a great job of showing that he's a dumbass who rushes to conclusions without knowing shit.
The guilty here is not 333386, IMO. Why shouldn't he believe what is said on the news? Even though everyone should have a critical reasoning, you shouldn't expect a news station to flat out lie.
It's disturbing if Fox News calls Chavez a dictator, brands him as a communist and a terrorist.
By doing so, Fox News are indirectly stirring up hatred and fear.
Why?
Because any reasonable person would dislike a dictator and a terrorist.
So if Chavez is labeled as such, I fully understands why there are people fearing him, and even hating him.
All created by bad journalism, by an Australian owned propaganda "news" station. One day Murdoch is supporting Bush, the next Hillary. What's next?
