Chavez clearly listened to Dems and Air America Filed under: Bush Bad?, Dumb Democrat moves, The Fourth Estate, America, Election 2006
So, Hugo Chavez is is still at it.
Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez launched a new personal attack on President George W. Bush, using a visit to a church to call the US leader an “alcoholic” and a “sick man.”
A day after Chavez used the UN bully pulpit to call Bush “the devil” a “tyrant” who acts like he owns the world — prompting broad condemnation in the United States — Chavez was equally vitriolic as he spoke at the Olivet Baptist church in the New York neighborhood of Harlem.
“Bush is an alcoholic, a sick man with a lot of hang-ups,” declared the left-wing Venezuelan leader. “He walks like John Wayne.”
Hmmmmm….sounds awfully familiar, that tripe. Bush is “an alcoholic?” That sounds like Martin Sheen (a “good Catholic” with enough 12-step exposure to know better than to take another man’s inventory) calling President Bush “a white knuckle drunk”
Bush is a “sick man with a lot of hangups?” That sounds like almost anyone at Air America, or on any lefty blog who pretends to sophistication by suggesting - like real bigots - that President Bush is an “uptight Christian,” simply because his moral values are not theirs.
Bush “walks like John Wayne?” Crap, the press has been caricaturing President Bush as a “cowboy” since before he was elected.
All Chavez is doing is repeating exactly the idiotic crap that the left has been spewing for 6 years. And the Democrats have who have encouraged the hate.
[Blog has picture here of Chavez and Clinton]
But maybe some on the left finally understand that while they’ve been having fun and laughing while calling President Bush every manner of ugly name and insult, dangerous people have been watching. And they have made a calculation: We can disrespect Bush and America will laugh with us. Bush is weak. America is once again the appeasing “weak horse” it was throughout the 1990’s and even before…when we could attack anything and be accountable to no one.
I’m sure Hugo, once he left the guffawing chamber of hyenas at the UN, was shocked to discover that most Americans were not laughing, that even some Democrats were not.
And I’m sure some Democrats were shocked to see just how ugly their words sounded, when coming out of the mouth of someone else, someone with “no right,” to spew hate for political expediency.
There are some on the left who are suggesting that Hugo Chavez’s remarks are simply an indicator that the world “disrespects” President Bush…well…I wonder who gave them the idea that they could? Was it John Kerry calling him a “******* liar,” and not having to answer for that rudeness to anyone while the press shrugged it off? Good heavens, Bush calls terrorism “evil” and he was mocked and criticized for using that word, but the press never had a problem with “******* liar, ******* crooks and thieves” or with adolescent musings about the president’s name and female genitalia. It was alllllll soooooo funnnnneeeeeee, newsreaders could hardly deliver the spite without grinning, themselves.
Let me tell you, I didn’t see “disrespect” at the UN while President Bush was speaking…while he was speaking he was accorded that dubious body’s full and complete attention, and like it or not, nothing he said was disregarded, because the world knows he means what he says. They may not like him, but they respect him. And if they don’t respect him, they fear him just enough to pretend. Which frankly I prefer to a president they all “love” but don’t respect or fear, one who plays games.
But if Bush is being disrespected, then the Democrats need to look to themselves and their actions and understand how complicit they have been in encouraging it. Dems like Charlie Rangel, who called President Bush “Bull Connor,” knowing full well how wrong, inaccurate, unfair and inflammatory that was, or like the idiots who called Bush “a genocidal racist” after Hurricane Katrina, or like the party (and the press) who spent years telling America about Saddam’s Weapons of Mass Destruction only to later pretend they never said such things, and to pretend further that somehow Bush’s believing the same things they believed…made him a liar.
The Democrats alleged something that disingenuous - that what they believed was true was suddenly not only false but one man’s lie - and the press let them do it.
The press repeated it, ad nauseam, and the press and the Dems promoted films with that message, and books, until that damnable, transparent and nonsensical lie was repeated enough…because everyone knows that if you tell a big lie enough, it becomes “the truth.”
If tinpot tyrants and madmen now come to the United Nations and believe they can say anything they wish about The American President, it is because - as some of us have been warning, for some time - while all manner or irresponsible nonsense and hate has been directed at this president…the world has been watching.
And now, these tyrants and madmen sound eerily like the Democrats and the press and the left. One ideology, the world over, had completely lost its bearings, its self-control and its manners concerning one man who has never - not once -repaid them back in kind. Not in speeches. Not to the press. Not to “friendly audiences.” He came to town talking about “changing the tone,” and that’s what happened, in a perverse way. One side’s tone went rabid, the other side went nearly-silent, but this one man…kept his tone.
During the war in Lebanon I was perusing Palestinian blogs. They had heard the term "moonbat" and were trying to figure out what it meant.
In time, after much debate, they deceded that they too were "moonbats".
Bush in response to Chavez:
"I have heard that the evil spirit of Castro has been looking for a new host... he may have found one..."
One of the talk show hosts (think it was Rush) also made an interesting observation last week.
He talked about the animosity and disrespect shown toward Bush during an interview or Press Conference, and then compared it to the libs interviews with President Tom. They were polite and respectful to the nutjob.
Not anymore, buddy, thanks to you, and me, and Rush, and us. NO MORE! (The MSM just hasn't figured that out yet.)
Now we know who Air America's listener is!
Every time the Dems visit Chavez in Caracas, the price of gas goes up the next week.
WHY are we still buying oil from this slimy little loser?
Yes, the Air America that calls Bush an "evil B.....d, a "monkey" , say "Damn, I hate those people"--(the Bush Administration)and put forth lies as if they were proven truths.
These are our own homegrown hate-mongers.
If Hugo Chavez thinks you are the devil, sleep at night in peace, secure in the knowledge that you have done well.
Say, I wonder if the Democrats have thought of nominating Hugo Chavez for President of the U.S. With the ingenuity they have found for registering all those cemetery residents to vote, they can certainly come up with documents proving that he was born in the U.S.A. Cindy Sheehan could be the Democrat nominee for Vice President. Talk about a Democrat dream ticket!
Ms Sheeham would make a better Sect of State - full of grace, world knowledge, and certainly the ability to persuade people that her ideas are the "right" ones for a WORLD OF PEACE! /sarc
We'd better stop making jokes like this. Those morons who vote Democrat might just take this seriously.
Chavez clearly listened to Dems and Air Americalistened to? He's one of their writers. ;')
