Chavez Responds to Spanish King by Comparing Himself to Jesus Christ….

Posted on November 13, 2007

Ironic that a Godless socialist would invoke Jesus in his defense…

Hugo ChÃ¡vez is not shutting up. Venezuela’s president stepped up his verbal counter-attack against the Spanish king yesterday by comparing his wounded pride to the suffering of Jesus Christ and Latin America’s colonial oppression.

Three days after Juan Carlos urged ChÃ¡vez to "shut up" at a summit it was the latter doing all the talking while the king retreated into silence. The "explosion" of royal disdain betrayed an enduring colonial superiority complex, the president said upon his return to Caracas. It echoed not only 500 years of imperial power and abuse, but also the persecution of Christ.

Should he accept the king’s injunction to shut up, "the stones of the people of Latin America would cry out", said ChÃ¡vez, paraphrasing a comment by Christ in Jerusalem shortly before his crucifixion. The Venezuelan information ministry issued press releases identifying the relevant part of the Bible.

One Response to “Chavez Responds to Spanish King by Comparing Himself to Jesus Christ….”

I am strongly opposed to communism in general and to
Huga Chavez in particular. Afterall, I live in El
Salvador and I worry that heÂ´ll use his petro-dollars to
buy the next election for the communist FMLN. I have to say
that he is not Godless, in fact, I believe he has a messianic
complex. Remeber it was at the UN that he called President
Bush, the devil or Satan and that the odor of sulphur was
still around the podium where he was to deliver the address.
He doesnÂ´t hesitate to make the sign of the Cross when it
suits him. The people of Venezuela need to take him out and
the first man sinned and the tree of the cross the second, Jesus
saved mankind, Hugo could be the third man and save Venezuela
from his communism.
