3/18/11, "Protest in Rio against Obama visit has Molotov cocktail," Ultimo Segundo

"A protest against the visit to Brazil of U.S. president, Barack Obama, ended in confusion late on Friday (18) in the center of Rio de Janeiro. It should arrive to the country tomorrow and stay until the morning of Monday (21).

According to the Reserved Service of the 13th Military Police Battalion (Tiradentes Square), the protesters threw a Molotov cocktail at the U.S. Consulate. Part of the device reached a vigilante and his vest caught fire.

• To counter the confusion, MPs threw stun grenades and tear gas.

The PM said at least 13 people attending the protest were arrested and taken to the police station the avenue Gomes Freire (Precinct 5) in the center.

According to the corporation, about 100 people attended the protest. They are part of organizations like the CUT (Central Unica dos Trabalhadores), Sindipetro (Union of Oil), UNE (National Union of Students) and MST (Landless Movement).

The march began in front of the Candelaria church in downtown Rio, and followed by the Rio Branco Avenue until you reach the consulate. Were displayed banners reading "Obama, go home" and "Imperialism no! Obama, take the jaws of the pre-salt (oil). All the solidarity of peoples in struggle.""

3/18/11, "Rubber Bullets Fly at Anti-Obama Protest In Rio," Forbes, Kenneth Rapoza

"What is most ironic about the Brazil protests is that the PSTU is a hard core socialist party in Brazil. While anti-Obama protests in the US consider Obama a socialist, the socialists in Brazil consider him a yankee capitalist, the bane of the Latin American left....

• Fourteen protestors have been arrested.

See video here by a protestor at the moment the rubber bullets were fired.."...

3/20/11, "Chileans March against War, Obama''s Visit," Prensa Latina

"When calling to join the demonstration Sunday, less than 24 hours after Obama arrived in Chile, organizers urged the United States to respect the emancipation and liberation processes in Latin America, and to stop attacking Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Bolivia.

They also urged Obama to assume his country's responsibility in the military coup against the Salvador Allende government, an incident that has allowed serious human rights violations go unpunished in the country,

• according to Chilean leftists.

In addition, the protesters called for lifting the prolonged U.S. blockade of Cuba, and to immediately release the five Cuban antiterrorists imprisoned in the United States for more than 12 years.

Obama is very far from honoring the Nobel Peace Prize he was given in 2009, said the president of the Federation of Chilean Students, Camila Vallejos."

================================

Putting aside the backstory of the protests, US media will not make them 24/7 bad news for a Democrat and never for Obama. Over time, people can be convinced of anything--many people approve of stoning to death for adultery. An absence of bad news about Obama (or anyone) will cause the public to think he is much better than he is. George Bush deserved to be criticized but not with 24/7 intense hatred on every front page, magazine cover, and newscast for 8 years. He could have helped the country by calling the media out for this but he didn't. The coverage was more damaging to the country and Americans than it was to George Bush who is retired now. The media loves its created theme of America hatred. We the people are still here to live in an invented culture where 24/7 hatred is normal.

This is one of the reasons why the Tea Party was forced into existence. ed.
