When you call for somebody's death, they might end up not liking you very much:
A Bolivian senator, a close ally of President Evo Morales known for her raucous chanting of "Long live coca, Death to the Yankees!", said on Wednesday the United States had canceled her entry visa.
Leonilda Zurita, who is seen as one of the leftist president's closest confidantes, told local media U.S. consular officials had told her she was considered a terrorist, something she dubbed "an offense against Bolivian women".

How does it OFFEND Bolivian women if someone calling for our collective deaths is denied a visa to come here?
As the movie character once said "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Bolivian women must be easily offended.

I wonder how they'd feel if somebody said their mama wears army boots?

Bolivian women and Leonilda Zurita probably have very little in common but I'm sure that they hate us on general principle.

Well that's what we get for supporting General Principle's brutally repressive regime.

On the other hand, the General had a great singing voice....
