"On Chavez's dead body"
Today the opposition is supposedly holding an anti-crime and anti-violence rally. Certainly such a rally would be oppertune as crime and violence are out of control in Venezuela.
But there is a reason I used the word "supposedly". The opposition, being what it is, can't seem to miss any opportunity to not only criticize Chavez but to threaten him, even with violence. In an interview with Globovision, Venezuela's opposition led 24 hour news network, an opposition supporter talked about laying down on the pavement and "on the cadaver of Chavez" to protest violence (see the video here). Its a rather interesting notion that in a protest against violence you would threaten more violence.
