ADDING INSULT TO INSULT: HUGO CHAVEZ UNLEASHES NEW ATTACKS ON PRES. BUSH
Yesterday, he called President Bush the “devil.” Today, he made it clear he wasn’t finished with his red-hot rhetoric. Speaking in New York’s neighborhood of Harlem, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called President Bush “an ex-alcoholic” and “a sick man, full of complexes.” That was just the beginning. Using more derisive language, Mister Chavez said of President Bush: “He walks like this cowboy John Wayne.” “He doesn’t have the slightest idea of politics. He got where he is because he is the son of his father.” Chavez claims he was warned yesterday, after he described Bush as “the devil” before the annual meeting of the General Assembly, that “I should be very careful, because they could kill me. Well, I’m in God’s hands. I’m not afraid.” Mister Chavez alleged that an American thirst for oil prompted President Bush to lead an invasion of Iraq.
I have called Bush a lot worse names than that,I just wondered what other thought.
others thought (not other)

ALCOHOLISM TREATMENT about, president, right, this

Everyone keeps saying freedom of speech in America, so he can say anything he wants to say. I don’t see Bush helping the poor with gas, do you?

He was probably just saying what many people in this country have been thinking.

I’m not saying I’m one of them because I could care less about politics.

But it was wrong. Especially with him being a guest in this country at the time.

Rhetoric! Chavez is sleeping with Pres.Tom (iran)
Written by dukalink6000 about 11 months ago.

He is free to say whatever he wants, but Chavez is working on presentation, as he has the world’s attention, which mean content suffers.

Yes, he has every right to say what he wants. He’s right about the oil thing, and I have every right to say that. What do you think? We should bomb him for saying that? What about all those freedoms our soldiers have died for? Isn’t being free and having the right to voice our opinions one of those freedoms?
Written by futurenavyseal2010 about 11 months ago.

well unfortunately since the U.N is in new york on American soil he can say anything he wants (freedom of speech) but no he doesn’t have to be stupid about it cause hes not the greatest person either it seems to me he didn’t acknowledge 9/11/01 and our reason to invade Iraq and Afghanistan

not into politics…..somewhat agree and then again dont think that words of foreigners should matter that much.

Well if the guy’s going to call Bush ‘the devil’, then we can call HIM ‘banana-cabana-boy’ LOLOL. That’ll be doubly true after we don’t need anymore of venezuela’s oil, which won’t be long, now…I think more and more people ‘get it’ on the oil thing…

his comments were completely inappropriate and out of line. George Bush is still the president and leader of this country and he deserves the respect that comes with that.

The rhetoric is no more simplistic or inaccurate than Dubya’s.
Written by SweetSin about 11 months ago.

He can say what he wants. In comparison – Bush is a lot nicer than he is. Hugo is the one killing innocent people because they simply don’t “agree” with him. Anyone who is going to call us (Americans) the devil – Is definately jealous. Envy makes people hate us. He should have more respect. He’s got it coming to him though. I hope that son of a B*TCH dies.

Freedom of speak, so yeah. But as we now know he also has the freedom of being a really BIG JACK ASS!!!!
Written by TommyD_35 about 11 months ago.

Yes, he has every right in the world to speak his mind. He should have thought before he spoke, but Bush does that all the time. The U. N. is a “safe haven” for all nations and they are INVITED here to speak their minds. They are afforded the right to free speech.
Written by Spike about 11 months ago.

Chavez has a problem with tact, maybe. But his points are still valid. I can find nothing in the text of what Chavez said that can’t be substantiated by Bush’s own actions.

Chavez has the right to express his opinion. Honestly, I applaud his courage in attacking Bush’s corruption and ineptitude in such a public forum.

As much as I hate for my country to be talked about that way (as Bush is a representation of all of us *sadly*), he has a right to say whatever he wants. But I don’t like the United States being mocked, as irresponsible as Bush has been with his judgements.
Written by Billy about 11 months ago.

Don’t get worked up over what some tinpot, peckerwood despot has to say.

He’s an angry little man wouldn’t tolerate his own people saying such things about him.

Oh, did I mention he’s a hypocrite?
Written by arrogant bastard about 11 months ago.

normally i would say get the fu*k out of our country, but you have to admit that chavez is right on a number of his points. most importantly, that bush doesn’t seem to know what politics are all about. he does whatever he wants and there is nobody to stop him, until next election.
Written by ARule about 11 months ago.

As long as he is here, and this is a free country, he has every right to speak his mind…
He is the rightfully elected president of a free country, like it or not!!
You can agree or disagree with his style, but Bush’s style is not much finer…check “axis of evil” rhetoric!!
Written by navymom about 11 months ago.

Jeez, he probably shouldn’t have said he was in God’s hands. Mr. Bush’s God seems to have kept his hands in tight fists for the past 6 years…
Written by Cryssie R about 11 months ago.

He has a right known as freedom of speech. If you American’s truly want to be free you need to acknowledge the right of other people to hold oppossing views. Not everyone will ever like you or your leaders and that is alright. Chavez comments are rude and some are vastly inaccurate, but he has a right to his own point of view. In the eyes of many poor countries the US is the devil because you have so much wealth both monetary and ecological. I don’t personally like Bush, but I don’t like my own Prime Minister either, both have devilish qualities, but neither is the devil.

yeah he can say watever he wants about bush. i hate bush too. but seriously, chavez’s the PRESIDENT of venezuela!!!! couldnt he think of sumthin more mature to say? “he’s the devil!” come on, that sounds like sumthin a 5 yr would say!!!! he coulda came up wit sumthin else that was a lot less childish…

Finally someone taking a stand in America and saying the truth to their faces! Certainly hope this opens dialogue and self-evaluation in north americans!
Written by Friskytabbycat about 11 months ago.

He has every right to say these things. First it is his opinion and everyone has one and is entitled to speak it. Secondly, most of what he is saying is TRUE. I don’t like Bush and I really feel the same way Chavez does. Does that make me anti-America? No!!!! That makes me all American because I can voice my opinion and I can disagree with the person running my country. I vote every election. Voting is my power to place people as my leader. More people thought Bush would be better. So he got in. But that is the way our country works. Majority Rules.

The greatest key to United States is to VOTE!!!!!!!!!

p.s. In my opinion he cheated to get it the first time, but the second time (and i don’t understand why) majority voted him in again. That doesn’t mean i have to like him or what he does. 2008 is appraching quickly. He won’t be there much longer.
Written by DL about 11 months ago.

Yes, he has the right, but I thought he was abusive and added no solutions to the world’s problems….only name calling. Typical. I wonder if anyone is free to go to Venezuela on a public podium and speak hatred towards their president without getting arrested or kicked out of their country?

Anyways, it was nice to see some Democratic Americans defending our president and country. See this link.

Written by tat2me1960 about 11 months ago.

You folks LOVE the “attack” word.

Chavez said that Bush acted as if HE owned the world, and presented his speech the previous day in just that way. He said Bush was imperialist. He was referring to Bush’s ATTACKing Iraq, and attempting to DICTATE to Iran.

He was talking about BUSH VICTIMIZING other countries. As always, you guys flip everything around and PLAY VICTIM.

How many WORLD LEADERS, and fellow citizens, need to point out what a tyrant this man is before you finally get the picture? Chavez is RIGHT…the devil is in our house. Out of totally misplaced fear, you folks are SACRIFICING our freedoms, liberties, guarantee of due process, protections against unfair treatment by government, our privacy, our once respected world image, and everything our soldiers have ever fought and died for over the centuries to your devil. Bush saved us from NOTHING…he diminished our rights, and our ability to keep government in check. His war on terror is against US. Iraq is a sham…no Ossama connection, no WMD’s, and had NOTHING to do with 9-11.

NO TERRORIST could EVER deny us our freedom or liberty…ONLY our own government can do that, and Bush DID that with the Patriot Act. It ALREADY changed the very definition of what this country is. The America of freedom and liberty has been ripped from the Constitution. You’re living in the past, thanks to your buddy.

Get a clue, you sellout.

I just love Chavez, he is the only one with real guts to tell what everybody outside the US thinks about Bush

He’s wrong about Bush being an ex alcoholic. Anyone in AA will tell you that you are never an ex alcoholic. If you are not drinking then you are an alcoholic who is sober. Other than that I have no problem with what Hugo said.
Written by Veda about 11 months ago.

Just because Chavez thrives on bad manners does not give him carte blanche to come to the U.S. and insult our president and our country . Hshould not be welcomed back – I don’t care how many labor unions embrace that knott-head .

looks to me like he’s calling a spade, a spade. Embarrassing isn’t it?
Written by ThatguyPete about 11 months ago.

It’s nothing worse than what he has already been called by our own ‘left-wing’ (Pelose, Kenedy, Durbin..etc.) But to have that scumbag come HERE and say those things about OUR PRESIDENT (even if some of us agree with him) is WAY OVER THE LINE….have we stooped THAT LOW?

How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

Does he have any right to say this in about the president?
