I never even heard of him until yesterday. I don't really care as I heard he was an a**hole anyway.

Wow no one has ever heard of this guy?????????
wow a little shocking especially considering how much he is talked about in the news

If you're looking for a lot of people who keep up with the world politics, this isn't the place. I'm not surprised they didn't know who he was.

Hugo Chavez had some decent ideas....but he went about it wrong. He was also a paranoid ass who had tons of politicians and judges in Venezuela fired or put in jail for having opposing views.

He was a dictator in the sense that he removed term limits and had such a corrupt system in place that it was unlikely he'd ever be voted out.

It's not horrible to dislike the United States.....but for all the good ideas he had, he sure has hurt Venezuela in the long run. I hope the next guy does a better job of putting in sustainable policies for them.

^^ this

But I have some Venezuelen friends and it all depends on who you ask. Some hated him for his brashness and Anti American sentiments. Some loved him because he was seen as a guy who wouldn't back down even if it would obviously blow up in his face later. I'm personally not a fan but either way Rest in Piece

Mostly agree with Katie. Only dispute would be his human rights record. It's as bad as we thought.

Also, being trolled by Jeff Oughton is like kissing your sister. You feel nothing.

Edit: Sorry to Jephael.
