OMG...You're right!!

Cindy Sheehan went to Caracas, Venezuela to put her thumb in the eye of the Bush administration. She was leading the World Social Forum, a far-left “alternative” to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, to cavort with fellow leftists.
Less well known was that her trip was sponsored by the Venezuelan foreign ministry. The price of that was obligatory praise of Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, who’s rapidly plunging in the opinion polls for his incompetence and corruption.
“I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States,” she said.
Sheehan, who knows nothing of Venezuela, was easy to persuade to say that Chavez was her hero. But by paying formal obeisance to her paymaster, she showed she’ll say just about anything if the price is right. Apparently, the price isn’t very high, either.
It turns out not everyone is amused. Venezuela’s Spanish-language news bulletin boards are aflame over the Sheehan appearance and I-love-Chavez statements. These local Venezuelans have taken to posting ugly pictures of her and condemning her almost as badly as they condemn another U.S. zero, former President Jimmy Carter, who knowingly certified fraud in Venezuela’s 2004 recall referendum.
It’s only Thursday and already they’ve had a bellyful of these leftists in Caracas – even condemning their garbage, their mess and their telltale marijuana odor.
But there’s an extra-special particular rage at the vile mercenary nature of Sheehan. Along with most Latin Americans, most Venezuelans did not support the Iraq war, which is one reason why Sheehan’s pro-Chavez statements are such a noxious wake up call.
Even if you can’t read Spanish, there are plenty of pictures and signs of local Venezuelan fury here.

I speak the language (I've even been to VZ a few times), so here's a sample:

Friends, it was really hard to believe this news . . . Cindy Sheehan, mother of an American soldier killed in the Iraq war comes to Venezuela to protest against authoritarianism and militarianism HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA how the hell is it that no one has told her who the governors, representatives, ministers, etc. of this NON-GOVERNMENT are? Is this women so stupid that she can't read the newspapers here for herself or inform herself before coming to Venezuela about those who are usurping power in this country? Nobody has told her who the head of the gang is (for me, it's not a government). SOMEBODY BETTER DAMN WELL TALK WITH THIS WOMAN AND LET HER KNOW.
¡Chihuahua! Now I gotta go take a shower and try and make myself clean!
Dang. Now I wish all the more I could read it myself.
Lol! Good point!
I read one report that Cindy was smiling because the way they were carrying her was allowing people to see her underwear. Something about that she found funny.
INTERESANTE...EN EL IMPERIO LA GENTE PUEDE PROTESTAR FRENTE A LA CASA BLANCA.
Which (if my rusty Spanish is any good) translates to: Interesting... in the Empire people can protest in front of the White House.
Which (by implication) suggests that they can't in the Venezuelan Workers Paradise.
Nice to see that some of our Southern Neighbors "get it".
OMG...You're right!!
La Kook Caracas -- shakin' her maracas!
AY-YI-YI -- My eyes!!!
Is there any other kind?
LOL! Shoulda read a little further ...
Lmao ewwwwwwwwwwwww!
Thanks Hugo!
Predictably, though, Chavez has threatened to jail her for treason.
More, please!
Whoa! We get Madeline Albright and the Venezuelans get HER???? Ain't fair!
It ain't right. But it also says a lot about Hugo Chavez's tastes in women.
While I like to believe that I could have a polite (on my side) conversation with most liberals, I doubt that I could tolerate even being in the same room with Cindy Sheehan. The left portrays her as a grieving mother, but look at her photos -- the woman can't stop giggling. She has all the dignity of George Galloway in red tights. Far from grieving for her son Casey, or even showing him a decent respect, she has relentlessly violated his memory in order to advance her own celebrity and her -- not Casey's -- political agenda. She behaves as if her son's death was the best thing that ever happened to her.
She is a vile, shallow woman.
I guess Hugo does not quite have the grip of iron yet on the press. . .but whatever. . .that is the best news.
Words fail to describe Cindy Sheehan. . .but wherever her name appears or the woman herself. . .'barf alerts' should be required.
