WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Joe Kennedy fired off a letter Monday in response to a Florida congressman's calls for him to stop airing television commercials that heap praise on Venezuela for its providing discounted heating oil to low-income U.S. households.
"If your moral indignation requires that we not accept the discount oil to distribute to our most vulnerable families, then that same high moral standard should require that you not drive your car because it, too, probably uses gasoline made from Venezuelan oil," Kennedy wrote in a letter sent to Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fla.
"Maybe the fact that you live in Florida diminishes your concern for those who have to forgo food or medicine to pay for heat or turn to dangerous heating sources to stay warm, risking their lives to brave the cold," Kennedy wrote. "If so, maybe you could advocate that they move to your district to alleviate the need to figure out ways to protect them."
In a letter sent earlier in the day, Mack scolded Kennedy for the television ad that Mack says pays tribute to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, "a sworn enemy of the United States."
In the ad, Kennedy, founder and president of Citizens Energy Corp., a nonprofit energy company, thanks Venezuela and Citgo, a Houston-based oil company owned by the Chavez government, for contributing heating oil to low income senior citizens.
"I am Joe Kennedy. Help is on the way. Heating oil at 40 percent off from our friends in Venezuela at Citgo," Kennedy says in the commercial.

Through the magic of the internets, your wish is granted. Drag your iron cot closer to the monitor and see.
LOL ---- thank you!
"I am Joe Kennedy. Help is on the way. Heating oil at 40 percent off from our friends in Venezuela at Citgo," Kennedy says in the commercial.
It ought to say "I am Joe Kennedy . Help is on the way. I plan to get together with my Uncle Ted and offer free oil with all the money from our trust funds. Since we Kennedy's have screwed up so much its the least we can do."
Nobody cares what Kennedy says.
How would Kennedy feel if Chavez said the things about his uncle that he spewed out about our President? What in the world is going to happen to our country? I worry! It seems half this country hates this country. Why in the he*% don't they live somewhere else?
That'll be the day when pigs truly do fly.
Yes it sure would be....
Like his uncle teddy, he is a typical kennedy, a communist.
Not if they are owned by a Democrat.
Not all of us who are stuck here in Mass. are in love with this socialist douche.
It does seem that way some time, though...
Sorry. I know how horrifying it can be living in a socialist state like Mass. I just escaped California only to get to NH and have BOTH representatives lose and a nutbag (NOW I'm out of the closet!) Dem governor get re-elected by a 3-1 margin.
Oh yeah--and there's the fact that our legislature is Dem for the first time in like 95 years.
(Oh, da horrah! DA HORRAH!)
And Uncle Teddy went to the USSR to try to help them undermine President Reagan. The Scum Family.
Oh yes, I certainly didn't mean to forget Fat Teddy the Swimmer AND Traitor.
Thanks for catching that! :)
My question... Hey Joe whats your cut????
Nothing, NOTHING those despicable Kennedys do surprises me anymore.
We forgot to tell you before you moved to Nampsha, that it is the number 1 market for Massholes, now the leading export of the Commonwealth to your immediate South. Your next shipment is on the way!
You are evvvvvilllll.
All the more reason we need a fence on our southern border. And I'm not talking about America's southern border, either.
At least where I'm living the Masshole influence is SOMEWHAT minimized (too far for them to commute), or so I thought until Carol Che-Porter got elected.
Oh, I can imagine Manchester and Nashua have changed over the past twenty years, and not for the better, either.
They are his, his family, his party and the rinos friends, so, he is correct when he says "OUR FRIENDS IN VENEZUELA".
Fortunately they're lifestyles minimize their damage to the gene pool.
Pray for W and Our Troops
