Actually, according to his own words, he is.

I did some more reading on Chavez to get a better feeling for who he is. In my research, I found a fairly complete wikpedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Ch%C3%A1vez

According to it, I note that he has done some good things and he has done some bad things.

While Host has touched on some of the good, I will mention that apparently he sends thugs to threaten journalists that write bad things about him, he has lead two coups against the democratically elected government, and he has ignored his own country's court decisions regarding state workers he has unilaterally fired.

I cannot help but think what Host and some others would say about Bush if he did these things.

So when I see a post like this, the word "hypocrite" immediately comes to mind.

Edited to add:

Oh, and for the record, I think Robertson is an a-hole.
