INDEFENSIBLE: OBAMA FAILS HIS FIRST BIG TEST
While Ortega and Chavez won quasi-democratic elections, they employed old school Marxist techniques to help achieve their victories. To an extent, the same applies to Morales in Bolivia. All of which is to say these leaders squelched as much speech as possible, threatened opposition leaders and parties, and possibly worse since people simply disppeared in some cases.
You will need to provide evidence of these charges to be taken seriously.

I disagree with Comrade Stuck when it comes to the labels you put on these “leaders,
I don't necessarily disagree with the labels, since I like neither Chavez, nor Ortega. They really are loudmouths and self aggrandizing thugs. My point was that they are democratically elected loudmouths and self aggrandizing thugs. So when you attack them by disagreeing with their ideology and style of governance, you are attacking the prevailing sentiment in their respective countries. And that should be noted is all.
