Chavez Vows To Beat “Devil”

Posted on November 26, 2006

Hugo Chavez continues with his insults toward America.

The former soldier and self-styled revolutionary is favored in the polls to beat rival Manuel Rosales after building a solid political base through a social development campaign financed by oil revenues.

Chavez supporters flooded Caracas thoroughfares waving flags and banners, congregating in different parts of the downtown a day after Rosales sympathizers held a similar march to close his campaign in the capital city.

“We are confronting the devil, and we will hit a home run off the devil next Sunday,” said Chavez, who ruffled feathers in October by calling President Bush the devil in remarks at the United Nations.

“On December 3 we’re going to defeat the most powerful empire on earth by knockout,” Chavez said.

Donning red like most of his supporters, Chavez delivered a two-hour speech marked by his signature combination of fiery leftist rhetoric and crowd antics typical of pop music concerts.

Wow! Reuters paints this guy up like a rock star! ManyVenezuleans disagree. A picture worth a thousand words.

    Chavez will eventually have to be delt with. He is a dangerous lunatic.

    How is this “[f]iled under War On Terror”?

    Chavez will eventually have to be delt with.

    Another preemptive strike?
