FL Senate Candidate Klayman Calls for US Intervention in Venezuelan Recall Elections; Chavez Venezuelan Recall Vote a Likely Fraud

MIAMI, Aug. 17 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Larry Klayman, Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Florida, today called for U.S. intervention to determine whether or not the recall vote, which affirmed Communist dictator and terrorist Hugo Chavez's hold on the Venezuelan people, was honest and fair. All indications are that the vote was fraudulent, despite claims by former President Jimmy Carter that the vote was honest.

Whatever Jimmy Carter's good intentions, he has proven himself to be one of the most naive government officials in world history. Notwithstanding his failures in Iran and with the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, Carter recently gave Fidel Castro -- Hugo Chavez's benefactor -- a clean bill of health in not having bioweapons laboratories on his island. This support was offered to Castro in contravention of intelligence reports, issued by U.S. government officials, that Castro has such terrorist labs.

Chavez, like Castro, is not only an avowed Communist who has terrorized his own people, they both have assisted and worked with Middle Eastern terrorists. In a book co-authored by Klayman when he was Chairman of Judicial Watch, entitled Fatal Neglect: The U.S. Government's Continuing Failure to Protect American citizens from Terrorists, a chapter deals with "Castro: The Forgotten Terrorist." While at Judicial Watch, Klayman filed suit against both Castro and Chavez on behalf of victims of their terrorist acts.

"Castro and Chavez have not only fomented a new rise in Communism in Central and South American, but have worked together as terrorists against the interests of the American people. And, the Venezuelan people have been severely harmed. They need to be freed from bondage.

"It is incumbent on the United States to insure that a fraud has not been committed in the recall election. To rely on Jimmy Carter's certification, is to rely on the opinion of a fool. Worse, Carter has just given legitimacy to a ruler, Hugo Chavez, who is a miniature Stalin. If nothing is done, it is likely that Chavez will not only consolidate his hold on power now, but never leave office-Castro style." --Larry Klayman, candidate for the U.S. Senate

Well...at least he's right about Carter. We don't have to look any further than N. Korea and the Framework Agreement to see how inept he is.

If Jimmy Carter likes the guy, doesn't that say it all re "the honest vote for a thug dictator?" I feel sorry for the good people of that country.
