Filmmaker and conspiracy-theorist Oliver Stone issued several tweets tonight glorifying his “friend” Hugo Chavez.
Hated by the entrenched classes, Hugo Chavez will live forever in history. My friend, rest finally in a peace long earned. 2/2

Oh, he’ll live on in history all right — as a sad chapter in the history of an otherwise democratic nation. Years from now, after their nation recovers, Venezuelan patriots will spit on his grave.
Naturally, sane people responded with condemnations of Stone’s repulsive hagiography of a bigoted tyrant.

@TheOliverStone Yeah, let's celebrate a repressive dictator just because he's a socialist. Good call.

Insane people responded as well.
