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 don’t get these people.  How do they keep praising this guy when he’s restricting the press and freedom?  The kind of speeches that they throw around freely here in America, they wouldn’t be able to do under a Chavez regime, yet they continue on, oblivious.
