Chavez Repeats 'Devil' Comment at Harlem Event
Thursday, September 21, 2006
NEW YORK Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, appearing Thursday at a Harlem Church for an oil-for-poor event, repeated his 'devil' reference hurled a day earlier at President Bush during a speech at the United Nations General Assembly.
Chavez, dressed in his signature red shirt, was introduced at the podium by activist actor Danny Glover.
At one point Chavez told the crowd, "sometimes the devil takes human form," a comment that drew some boos and applause from the crowd who interpreted the reference to mean President Bush.
Chavez was visiting the church as part of ceremonies to announce the sale of discounted home heating oil to qualified low-income families.
The appearance came after reports circulated early Thursday morning that the Venezuelan president had left the country overnight after delivering an insult-riddled speech at the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday in which he called President Bush the 'devil.'
The crowd chanted "Chavez, Chavez, the people are with you" in Spanish as he walked into the Mount Olivet Baptist Church on Lenox Ave. in Harlem.

Heads exploding at the DNC that hugo is acting exactly like a modern democrat.
Wasn't it Pat Robertson who called for the "elimination" of Hugo Chavez not that long ago? And wasn't he roundly criticized and vilified for this remark?
All I can say is... it's not too late.
Rush just said it's coming over the wires Chavez just said "Bush is an alcoholic and a sick man". Oh man. Has this been orchestrated with the left??? Watch that be the headline everywhere in a few hours.
Wtf mate? Why is he in the country?
Diplomatic immunity to talk to the worthless UN.
Chavez is being introduced in Harlem by DANNY GLOVER? Geez, I knew Glover was a Leftist, but this is going pretty far. A real love fest, Hollywood evidently has with Chavez. But where is Redford, Sarandon, et al? And where is Teddy Kennedy? Won't he join in with these others?
Which Pubbie official will call for an IRS review of the tax-exempt status of the church where this event was held?
They'll say Chavez and Ahmadinejad were paid off by Karl Rove.
...has just been revoked."
Clover is just another one of the hate-America crowd who believes we are a racist nation, and all that usual filth. It was Clover who said George W Bush, as governor, executed many black and hispanic men. Apparently this moron thinks murderers should roam the streets. He also has no grip on reality because it is juries and judges who sentence murderers to death, not the governor of TX. No surprise to me whatever that he and Hugo are buddies. If Clover thinks America is so vile why doesnt he move to Venezuela?
So Chavez the Wienee is modeling himself after Castro. Bleah!
Patrick Kennedy was supposed to be there, but he begged off apparently.
Does hugo still give money to alqueda?
We are beginning to suspect he was invited by Karl Rove.
