If so, why aren't more people pointing out the sheer insane level of coincidence here that because Chavez's referendum is split 50/50, that he wouldn't try to do something to tilt public opinion towards his camp?
Venezuela threatened Wednesday to expel a U.S. Embassy official for allegedly conspiring to defeat a referendum championed by President Hugo Chavez, accusing the diplomat of plotting to sway public opinion.
The allegation comes ahead of a fiercely contested referendum on reforms that would allow Chavez indefinite re-election and help him establish a socialist state in Venezuela. Sunday's vote has generated large pro- and anti-Chavez rallies and Chavez kept the rhetoric high on Wednesday by repeating his charge that Washington is plotting to kill him.
In Caracas, Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro showed state television a document that he claimed was written by the unnamed embassy official and was to have been sent to the CIA as part of a plan to help ensure that Venezuelans vote against the proposed constitutional overhaul.
So it's all those mysterious CIA guys that are out to get him right? CNN/CIA/etc, are all conspiring to get Chavez.
Let's face it, who gave a rat's ass who this guy was, let alone know who he was before he started running off at the mouth like a drunk cheerleader at a party?
He's simply trying to create a boogeyman to maintain his power indefinitely, and he's giving the thinly veiled notion that he should be able to run for office forever.
And how hard do you suppose it would be for him to rig these elections? That's one of the reasons why we have a new President after two terms.
Now only if we can get Congress to do the same.
