Spain's king to Venezuela's Chavez - "shut up" Sat Nov 10, 2007 2:21pm EST
By Manuel Farias and Pav Jordan
SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Spain's King Juan Carlos told Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Saturday to "shut up" during closing speeches by leaders from the Latin world that brought the Ibero-American summit to an acrimonious end.
"Why don't you shut up?" the king shouted at Chavez, pointing a finger at the president when he tried to interrupt a speech by Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
Zapatero was in the middle of a speech to the summit of mostly leftist leaders from Latin America, Portugal, Spain and Andorra, and was criticizing Chavez for calling former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar a fascist.
Chavez, a leading leftist foe of Washington, also attacked Spanish businessman Gerardo Diaz Ferran earlier in the week after he questioned the safety of foreign investments in Venezuela.
"I want to express to you President Hugo Chavez that in a forum where there are democratic governments ... one of the essential principles is respect," Zapatero told the leaders gathered in the Chilean capital, Santiago.
"You can disagree radically, without being disrespectful," Zapatero, a socialist, said sternly, drawing applause from some of the other heads of state.

A king worth his salt! Bravo!
LOL!
Can we please teach Republicans, to talk like that?
You mean, “con huevos?”
Juan Carlos woulda made a good real king....
Chavez is just another feral thug who rose above his station through violence
ping
socialist=democratic government?
Chavez’s source of power stems from the ever rising oil prices. This is why I’d like to see some real alternatives to oil developed. Not some lefty global warming claptrap, but to put tinpot dictators like Chavez out of business.
Quashing, I say.

“It Can Happen Here” is a book by Sinclair Lewis. Well...It CAN happen here! Chavez was elected to his position of power and the citizens of the U.S. could do the same in this country.
Marxism is OUR nation´s MOST serious and important threat! We can survive a nuclear suit case bomb but freedom will NOT survive if the Marxists win in the voting booth!
So..what is the Marxist´s most important weapon here in the U.S.? Answer: Our government K-12 schools and our colleges and universities. Marxists are in complete control of both environments and are hard a work indoctrinating the next generation of voters.
Yes, IT IS THAT SERIOUS! (yes, I am shouting, but everyone seems asleep)
Maybe we'll get lucky and they will eat their own.
Cierre su boca, Hugo. Usted es un socialista puta. ¿Comprende?

I still remember how the news media made fun of Juan Carlos when he was presented by (Gasp) Franco.
