From John Fund's Political Diary:
"For a long time, I've defended Hugo Chavez... In retrospect, I realize that I was willing to overlook his authoritarian tendencies because of one main thing: his avowed commitment to social justice issues and his dedication to ending poverty. We can no longer forgive Chavez's dictatorial tendencies merely because of his avowed commitment to the country's poor. Indeed, it is a grave mistake to overlook tyranny or authoritarianism even when it is couched in the rhetoric of liberal reform and social justice" -- liberal blogger Jeb Koogler writing at TheModerateVoice.com.
