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

I don't know whether you know what you're saying when you express yourself in such base Italian words! I would suggest you avoid the use of such language in this forum; you only demean yourself and introduce a measure of rudeness that, I am sure, Jim Robinson will not approve under any circumstances.

He's a big-government liberal. We have more of them here than they do there.

Hugo has spoken. A hint of sulfur is in the air.

He'll stop talking like that the instant a Dem wins in '08, if one wins.

This clown must be on the CIA payroll.

His act can't be sincere, can it?

Yes I do. You're probably right. Not necessarily. That's for him to decide.

"Gringos?" To me it sounds like Chavez is a racist.

Were they "base Italian words"?

If so, only those who speak it would understand.

Much like when a demoncrat speaks, only those who understand the ramblings of the mentally ill can understand them.

Now, if the poster would like to FReepmail me with a translation..................

«El jefe está loco» implies that there is a change of state. For example «estoy loco» says that I became crazy (or I'm becoming crazy).

I think we all realize that becoming crazy probably wasn't something that changed in Chávez. En mi opinión, no existe ningún presidente en Latinoamérica más loco que Chávez.

Recently Hugo had that state visit from Iran's chief lunatic & official mouthpiece, Ahmadinejad, both promising to forge ahead with expanding their jihadist-communist front against America.

Now Hugo's verbal attacks directed at Washington are bolder then ever.

Support for a communist tyrant:

Members of the Venezuelan National Assembly vote a law that gives special powers to President Hugo Chavez in Caracas, Thursday, Jan. 18, 2007.

Oh, give it a rest, Chavez. If we were meddling properly you'd look like swiss cheese.
