Oliver Stone and the men he admires

Oliver Stone seems to like men who are really self centered criminals.

Stone: Film an intro to Chavez and his movement

CARACAS, Venezuela — American filmmaker Oliver Stone said Friday he deeply admires Hugo Chavez but suggested the Venezuelan president might consider talking a bit less on television.

Promoting his new documentary "South of the Border" in Caracas, Stone heaped praise on Chavez, saying he is leading a movement for "social transformation" in Latin American. The film features informal interviews by Stone with Chavez and six allied leftist presidents, from Bolivia's Evo Morales to Cuba's Raul Castro.

"I admire Hugo. I like him very much as a person. I can say one thing. ... He shouldn't be on television all the time," Stone said at a news conference. "As a director I say you don't want to be overpowering. And I think he is sometimes that way."

I wonder if that idiot Stone realizes if Chavez or a similar dictator would assume power in the US one of the first businesses he would control for the good of the people would be movie making…or does Stone think he’ll be exempt from control.

"He's a soldier and he speaks from his heart," Stone said. "His vision is huge. ... And he will go down in history."

To use the great words of Reagan, the ash heap of history.

The Oscar-winning director hopes his documentary will help people better understand a leader who Stone said is wrongly ridiculed "as a strongman, as a buffoon, as a clown."

"This is a positive portrayal of a man who Americans do not have access to," Stone said. "He is demonized in the American and European press as a monster."

Chavez, who joined Stone for the premiere of the film at last year's Venice Film Festival, hosted a screening Friday night at a Caracas theater and called the director a good friend.

"They demonize us is North America, in Europe, in a good part of the world. And Oliver dove is, so to speak, seeking the truth," Chavez said. He called the movie "a splinter in the eagle's talon" — a reference to the United States.

Gee Stone, you like making propaganda movies for leftist dictators....what a shock. And Chavez says you're telling the truth. Kinda makes one wonder how true your other films are....Platoon…Born on the Forth of July…Nixon…World Trade Center…W…

Stone said President Barack Obama's administration, in spite of initially inspiring hope, hasn't done anything to improve U.S. relations with Chavez or his Latin American allies.

What's bad is B Hussein Obama probably thinks "I've lost Oliver Stone, I've lost middle America."
