Video: Fox News reporter calls Chavez apologist an SOB on the air
Hot Air ^ | 6/1/07 | Allahpundit

Posted on 06/01/2007 4:01:23 PM PDT by PajamaTruthMafia

The reporter in question being Adam Housley, who’s been covering the protests in Caracas all week, and the apologist being NYC Councilman Charles Barron, whom you’ll remember more recently from his violent threats towards the NYPD and less recently as host to Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe. Here he gives us a glimpse of what the western left must have sounded like during Stalin’s heyday. Don’t call him a useful idiot. He’s not an idiot; he’s just on the other side.

The dispute here is over Chavez’s shutdown of RCTV, the opposition television station in Caracas whose closure inspired the street demonstrations. The government has replaced it with something called Tves, which is precisely the type of “news” outlet you’d expect it to be:

Thank you Adam Housley. Barron is also one of the biggest POS’s in the country.

I heard this one live today — this Barron guy is a total, leftist dolt. The crap that came out of his mouth was typical kool-aid drinking, Chavez-loving trash. And we wonder why we are in such trouble when trash like that can go to Washington — in America!!

Little does our media know that they are watching their future unless they stop supporting socialists.

“Don’t call him a useful idiot. He’s not an idiot; he’s just on the other side.”

Better:
Don’t call him a useful idiot. He’s not useful.

This is the pic of the SOS that the minor league propagandists at CBS choose today to accompany their story on how Rice said bad things about communists.

Truth be told I wish W would take a clue from Chavez and do something about the enemedia here at home.

At least Chavez understands what media outlets are trying to destroy his administration and is doing something about it.

The imbecile leftists that the sheeple have voted into power in Congress are busy running around the globe encouraging the ragheads to continue to kill our soldiers and the enemdia is allowed to run amok unmolested.

Pretty pathetic.

All you need to know about this loser

Council Member Charles Barron has been a community activist for 25 years. He has extensive experience on the local and national levels. In 1969, in need of a vehicle to express his desire for justice, Barron joined the Harlem branch of the Black Panther Party. After his Black Panther experience, he attended New York City Community College, now known as New York Technical College, where he obtained an Associate's Degree. He then attended Hunter College where he acquired his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology with a minor in Elementary Education.

In 1979, Barron joined the National Black United Front (NBUF) and became the founding chairperson of NBUF'S Harlem Chapter. Shortly thereafter, he was appointed Chief of Staff to the Reverend Herbert Daughtry, chairperson of the National Black United Front. From 1982-87 he served as Secretary General of African Peoples Christian Organization (APCO). He traveled across the United States visiting many college campuses, churches, prisons and communities organizing around international, national and local issues.

In 2001, Barron was elected to the New York City Council. He serves as Chair of the Higher Education Committee and is a member of the committees on Land Use, Consumer Affairs, Womens Issues, Landmarks, Public Siting and Maritime Uses. In this role, he has sponsored and cosponsored significant pieces of legislation that have impacted the quality of life of all New Yorkers. In the winter and spring of 2003, Barron delivered $280,000 to senior citizen programs in his district. He also played an integral role in getting the Meals on Wheels program restored to the city budget for seniors in his district. Barron, in collaboration with the New York City Housing Authority, secured $12.5 million for an East New York Recreation Center. In addition, he fought to obtain $1.2 million for the renovation of Linden/George Gershwin Park in his district. As chair of the Higher Education Committee, Barron spearheaded the restoration of over $10 million for students at City University of New York colleges. Additionally, he was successful in maintaining the Peter Vallone Scholarship awards for CUNY students.

Barron is a totally dense, poorly-spoken black power jerk - come to think of it, that describes Hugo, too. The TV station never urged or promoted the “assassination” of Hugo - it’s simply that like any good dictator, he thinks that opposition can mean one thing only, death. After all, that’s what it means to his opponents.

I’m very impressed by the reporter!
