Chávez a Hero, Black a Stupid Fool

RECEIVED Wed., June 13, 2007

Mr. Black,
    You were clearly fooled by the massive campaign of lies against Chávez [“Page Two,” June 8]. He's not "anti-American" as you stated. He's against the worst aspects of our severely f'd-up nation, as are most progressives.
    This article could help clear up some of your misconceptions (www.venezuelanalysis.com/articles.php?artno=2064) – which you so generously (and stupidly) shared with all your readers.
    You're encouraged to burn your American flag. The damn thing is soaked by now with the blood of thousands of Iraqis, and only tyrants hide behind it. It's time for us to design a brand-new one.
With respect,
John O'Neill
San Marcos
