Chavez to U.S.: 'Go to hell, gringos!'

President Hugo Chavez returned to his weekly radio and TV broadcast Sunday, extolling the ideals of socialist thinker Karl Marx and telling U.S. officials to "Go to hell!" for what he called unacceptable meddling in Venezuela's affairs.

Chavez defended his government's effort to establish a socialist model and rejected U.S. concerns over a measure to grant him broad lawmaking powers, saying: "Go to hell, gringos! Go home!"

The National Assembly, controlled by the president's political allies, is expected to give final approval this week to what it calls the "enabling law," which would grant Chavez authority to pass a series of laws by decree during an 18-month period.

On Friday, U.S. State Department deputy spokesman Tom Casey said that Chavez's plans under the law "have caused us some concern."

Chavez, who this month announced plans to nationalize Venezuela's main telecommunications company and the electricity and natural gas sectors, says the law will permit profound changes in areas ranging from the economy to defense

That's not fair! My high school Spainish doesn't go that far. Please translate, please. Thanks in advance. (Yes, I know this makes me look like an empirialist, but when in Rome....)

This is not going to end well.

"...socialist thinker Karl Marx..."

Calling Marx a socialist is like calling the Grand Canyon a pothole. Marx was a Commie, just as Chavez is a Commie, just as CNN is the Communist News Network.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Enough already. I know the US government does not officially allow the assassination of foreign leaders. However, isn't there anyone out there who will purge South America of this next generation Fidel Castro?

I mean, do we really need another 50 years of a Fidel Castro yipping at us while imprisoning and torturing his political enemies?

Somebody just put a bullet in this dorkwad. We forgive you in advance.

Actually it's Italian. A list of very offensive language, that if I translated, I would probably be banned. But Hugo deserves the comment.

But he's still loved by the DU, Cindy Sheehan, Code Pink, and the rest of the leftist freaks. Just like Fidel, even though Fidel was willing to nuke American cities to keep missiles in Cuba.

At first glance, I thought this said "broad lawn-mowing powers". It seemed unfair to deprive him of those.

"communism has failed everywhere while America thrives, the problem must be America"

I think that this is taught on US college campuses.

Why is this guy still breathing? Where are the evil Big Oil hit squads when you need them? I would think they would want to whack this barking little mut for stealing from them.
