Chavez called Halloween a "gringa," or North American, custom.

To me, it sounds like Chavez is a racist.

Has Hugo taken on Mexican culture for "Dia de los Muertos" yet?

Chavez has proved his stupidity and lack of education again for not knowing the origin of Halloween which came from Europe.

What, no mention of the meso American cultures such as the Aztecs and their feast of the dead...aka, morphed into "Dia de los Muertos" now observed on 1-2 November.

Actually Hugo and the Marxists ought to fear memorializing the dead. Marxism has produced so many dead.

President Hugo Chavez urged Venezuelan parents not to dress their children in costumes for Halloween, calling it a U.S. custom that has no place in the South American country's cultural traditions.

Speaking during his weekly radio and television show Sunday, Chavez called Halloween a "gringa," or North American, custom.

"Families go and begin to disguise their children as witches," Chavez said. "That is contrary to our ways."

So the reign of Communism has begun.

Better be careful he doesn't piss off his own Catholic population, which celebrates the feast of All Souls Day.

Chavez is sounding like a Baptist minister. Is he changing?

President Hugo Chavez and Pat Robertson have something in common.

Typical of the RCC--instead of spurning this macabre paganfest, they rename it and embrace it.

No, typical of my Church, we use a local custom as a means to evangelize.

And there's nothing wrong with that unless you're so full of your own dogma that you're unable to see all ways to reach people.

ROTFL! The world has indeed lost all common sense. I would really laugh at this guy, but maybe he is thinking about the Senator from NY who rides her broom and that indeed is a horror! :-)

I'm going to go trick or treating dressed as a tinhorn dictator. "Treat, or I'll federalize your property!" In my benevolent goodness, of course.

Is he worried his Presidential Palace is going to be TP'd?
