You have not yet posted the requested information. I asked you to post something that evidenced the illegitimacy of Chavez's elections; you instead posted something regarding the 2004 recall attempt that was overtly biased and did not provide an independent or objective source for the assertions provided therein.
I've been through this thread three times and I don't see any links in any of your posts supporting your claim that Chavez is the legitimate executive in Venezuela.
That's because you evidently have a greater interest in ideological partisanship than consistent opposition to constitutional violations. You'll condemn an action so trivial as preparation for a nonbinding referendum because politically motivated individuals in the judiciary oppose it, but you'll not condemn the forcible removal and deportation of an elected head of state even though there was no clear constitutional provision for his peaceable removal.
And, when one reads your sig, it's easy to understand how you would be so willing to defend any Leftist leader and denounce his removal based on your own political beliefs with not supporting evidence to defend your position.
That is a factually inaccurate assertion. There has been opposition expressed to the coup by representatives of the United Nations, the Organization of American States, Paraguay, the European Union, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Peru, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Conversely, I have not heard of support for the coup from any nation or government representatives.
Let's see some links supporting the suggestion of all that support. Half those countries are just as irrelevant as the UN and Venezuela.
I find it frightening how these same countries didn't support the frreedom movement in Iran, yet wanna be all hands when it comes to Honduras.
