Oaf of Cannes makes posthumous attack on Hugo Chavez

Bernard-Henri Levy is an unctuous twat.

How he continues to be presented as a "leftist philosopher" in the mainstream media I do not understand.

But rightists and further rightists and fascists of every stripe will love his latest rant.

Hugo Chavez was a Jew-hating union-baiting woman-abusing dictator-loving monster.

This from the guy who takes credit for almost single-handedly bringing freedom and democracy to Libya.

Did Chavez wreck Venezuela's economy? Not according to the vast swaths of the populace lifted out of poverty during his tenure. But apparently that is not good enough for the leftist philosopher.

Chavez hob-nobbed with "dictators who have blood on their hands."

Is this in some way a more egregious violation of BHL's imaginary ethical code than hob-nobbing with democratically elected leaders with blood on their hands?

If the issue is "blood on the hands" we must question Levy's infatuation with those democratically elected tyrants he is so comfortable with.

Perhaps their saving grace is that they govern for the benefit of "the economy," rather than for the benefit of the poor.
