Truth hurts, big man.

It seems the offical U.S. front organization for Hugo Chavez's regime can't take the truth about what their boss has said.

I say this because I have seen the original Spanish, and what the McCain campaign ad puts out there is almost mild compared to seeing it in the larger context.

Unfortunately, for this issue, Senator McCain is being painted, up one side and down the other, as a rampant distorter of the truth in a great number of his ads. The distortion claims come with evidence, usually of the McCain campaign taking something his opponent has said out of context and twisting the meaning. If the MSM even notices this issue, they'll probably sweep the VIO's statements into the "McCain is lying in his ads, again" bin.

re: "...being painted..."

Indeed. I would further venture that in the U.S. Presidential Campaign, accusations of misrepresentation (either warranted or disinformative accusations) are par for the course.

That said, I found the Venezuelan front-office response to be of note in relation to matters Venezuelan. Thus, my mention of it.

I see Chavez left Cuba today to do his rounds-

He can't even feed his people and he is so generous with Cuba-- How altruistic

Chavez, Castro wrote, offered Cuba "financial support and even Venezuelan land to produce food."

Off topic- I will say-- Obama's and McCain's ads for the hispanic community was far from the truth-- O'Reilly sure was pissed off at both of these ads- with good reason-

off this topic-- but it still has a Chavez ring--

I see Russia is deploying its warships to the Carribean for that scheduled military exercise--

It still concerns me as Chavez has it in his head, this is going against the US- Since he thinks he is "boosting his regional influence."
