Yep. Exactly. Just like is says in paragraph 2, subsection D(3) of the First Amendment, otherwise known as the "xenophobia exclusion" or the "please don't pick on us, we're too insecure to handle it" exception to free speech.

Jesus Christ. Some piss-ant bantamweight boxer leading a shithole third-world South American country tells the UN he doesn't like George Bush. Who gives a flying !@#$?

You, of all people CTM should take exception to allowing Chavez to go on like this not INSIDE the UN, but outside of it, which is what he is doing now. Chavez is not just another tinhorn. The guy runs OPEC for chrissakes. He primary agenda is to align himself with other hostile countries such as Cuba and Iran for the sole purpose of undermining the United States across the globe. And his initial efforts in this effort are going swimmingly. This is a very powerful man with a high Q Factor right now doing all he can to bring the US down. And hes riding around Harlem right now spewing his garbage. Thats not something to be taken lightly.

If that is the level of dialogue that is going to happened at the U.N. they might as well get WWF wrestlers to come in a yell about "knowing your damn role" and "that's the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so"

Go Grief, if Bush went up their and said the President of Iran was the spawn of Satan, and had to be killed with holy daggers, I bet you would running your mouth all over this board.

How the hell did an idiot like Chavez come to power in Venezula?

I don't have the time to read up on it and the from the few Venezulanders (?) I have met, they described it as a pretty modern , with it, democratic society. Of course, this was in the 90s.

Jimmy Carter's people counted votes at fewer than 1 percent of the polling stations, which, instead of being selected at random, as originally anticipated, were selected by Venezuelan officials. Even then, only 76 of the previously agreed 192 ballot boxes were counted, with either opposition witnesses or international observers present at only 26 out of the 76 boxes reviewed.

The Chavez-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) forbade access to the tallying centers, not only to Carter's people but also to representatives of the opposition, and even to the two members of the CNE who opposed Chavez.

Two professors from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology issued a report concluding that there was at least a 99 percent chance the election was a fraud. The audited sample (Carter's) was simply not a random sample, the professors concluded. Various independent exit polls showed that Chavez had lost the vote by 59 percent to 41 percent, instead of Chavez's contention that he had won by that margin.

A criminal law that Chavez pushed through the legislature states, "Any individual who creates panic in the community or makes it restless by disseminating false information via print media, radio, TV, phone, electronic mail, or pamphlets will be punished with two to five years in prison."

Even the most popular form of political protest," the inncocuous "banging pots and pans," which is done in the presence of members of Chavez's own government, will get you three months in jail.

Chavez Repeats 'Devil' Comment at Harlem Event

Thursday, September 21, 2006

AP

NEW YORK — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, appearing Thursday at a Harlem Church for an oil-for-poor event, repeated his 'devil' reference hurled a day earlier at President Bush during a speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

Chavez, dressed in his signature red shirt, was introduced at the podium by activist actor Danny Glover.

At one point Chavez told the crowd, "sometimes the devil takes human form," a comment that drew some boos — and applause — from the crowd who interpreted the reference to mean President Bush.

Chavez was visiting the church as part of ceremonies to announce the sale of discounted home heating oil to qualified low-income families.

The appearance came after reports circulated early Thursday morning that the Venezuelan president had left the country overnight after delivering an insult-riddled speech at the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday in which he called President Bush the 'devil.'

The crowd chanted "Chavez, Chavez, the people are with you" in Spanish as he walked into the Mount Olivet Baptist Church on Lenox Ave. in Harlem.

He spoke of an alliance with Cuba, a country he said had "been choked."

The event, one of a series designed to boost the Venezuelan leader's popularity in the U.S., was organized by Citgo, a Houston-based energy company that is owned and controlled by the Venezuelan government. Under a Citgo program, and in partnership with Citizens Energy, a program started and run by former Congressman Joe Kennedy II, families from low-income neighborhoods in New York, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia have the ability to purchase discounted home heating oil over winter months.
