Today’s schadenfreude: Salon’s glowing article from 2013, “Hugo Chavez’s economic miracle”

Boy, did they love this guy. “The Venezuelan leader was often marginalized as a radical. But his brand of socialism achieved real economic gains.” It goes on and on; Read it if you want a good belly laugh.

It's a darn shame we're no longer allowed to call people “retards”, because that's the prime descriptive word that comes to mind with respect to the Salon staff and readers.

    Thanks Maynard. Timely.
    I read more as a warning. Article author David Sirota quotes Chavez supporting American economist Mark Weisbrot that Venezuela has doubled college students, increased access to health care, and quadrupled the number of people eligible for public pensions. Sounds like, free Community College, Obamacare, and increased food stamps and welfare.

    From wikip., learn that one of Sirota’s former jobs was as spokesperson for..drum roll.. Bernie Sanders! ..rim shot. One month after this column, Sirota committed an open and transparent Leftist expose when he penned a column titled, ‘Let’s Hope the Boston Marathon Bomber is a White American’. And a Happy Patriot’s Day to you.
