The funny thing is that many people were sympathetic with Chavez just because he was critical of George Bush.

Many in the US just seem to like South American populists. Che, Castro, the Sandinistas, Shining Path (until well after it was clear that they were murderous thugs) - If you're a South American collectivist, you're popular with US "internationalists" until well after you've proven to be a murderous thug, and sometimes not even then.
