'Bush is the devil' (Chavez)

[Tripmann]

http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1234553,00...

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has said that President Bush is "the Devil" during his address to the United Nations in New York.

Viva Chavez!

[LaurenG]

1. Well then since I don't believe in the devil

that must mean there is no such thing as bush. Wow, this has been one long delusion or nightmare then huh.

[Cha]

62. I don't believe in all that

stuff, either, but I know what Chavez means.

From Merriam Webster..

devil

"1 often capitalized : the personal supreme spirit of evil often represented in Jewish and Christian belief as the tempter of humankind, the leader of all apostate angels, and the ruler of hell -- usually used with the; often used as an interjection, an intensive, or a generalized term of abuse <what the devil is this?> <the devil you say!>
2 : an evil spirit : DEMON
3 a : an extremely wicked person : FIEND : a great evil

[LaurenG]

184. I agree, I was being silly and wishful

You know pretending there was no such thing as bush. Ahh if only we could have elected someone with of all things integrity and a good heart.

[screembloodymurder]

209. I believe.

I am certain Bush is the anti-Christ or an ACC: anti-Christ cheerleader.

[herbbrown]

2. Was that Great or What?

Better yet it went over well to his audience, they aplauded, they laughed, Hugo was a big hit. Hope he doesn't recieve a big hit.

[gorbal]

39. Was he telling a joke or was he serious?

I hope he hasn't gone THAT far off the deep end.

[Ka hrnt]

166. Yeah...

...what's going to happen if/when the dems take back over? Who will be Chavez's boogeyman then?

[rman]

186. "the devil was here yesterday... it still smells of sulfer today"

(applause and giggles from the audience)

That should be enough to figure out if it was told in jest (although the point he made was serious), or whether he really thinks Bush is the devil.

Makes me wonder if Reagan was serious or not when he said the communists are devils.

[Judi Lynn]

194. Propagandists don't care what they have to do to get fuel for their

campaigns. The very idea of considering context is abhorrent to them!

To the rest of us, context is everything. Thanks for pointing it out.

[tocqueville]

3. BUSH IS NOT THE DEVIL !!!!!

he just works for him

[goforit]

25. Yah he works for CHENEY.

[chat_noir]

117. Satan was his running mate. I have proof...

DESERTER: THE STORY OF GEORGE W. BUSH AFTER HE QUIT THE TEXAS AIR NATIONAL GUARD http://www.glcq.com/bush_at_arpc1.htm















$10,000 reward was never collected




Cheerleader action doll hahahaha

[goclark]

153. That's wimp george the Bully nt

[RethugAssKicker]

4. WOW.... Chavez kicked Bush ass !

Chavez gave a fantastic straight to the point speech, that told it just like it is... The imperialism of the US is going to destroy the world, if not stopped.

No political side-stepping, no forked-tongue talking; Chavez spoke in the common mans language !

He brought up Noam Chomskys book and recommended everyone at the UN to read it.

Unbelievable speech !


VIVA CHAVEZ !!!!!!
VIVA CHAVEZ !!!!

[Freedom_from_Chains]

33. The imperialism of the US is going to destroy the world, if not stopped.

And that is what I am afraid that a bunch of countries are going to come to the conclusion of, and we are in deep shit when they do. We may have a lot of nuclear warheads, but we are not invincible like a lot of people seem to think we are.

[arewenotdemo]

148. I think I'm gonna have to read Chomsky's book

VIVA CHAVEZ!

[Jim Stark]

192. Chomsky

is insane

[Judi Lynn]

195. Hey, thanks. You've saved us all a lot of trouble reading even more

of his writing.

Maybe you could suggest a better source.

[Greeby]

5. You're wrong Hugo

He can't be the anti-christ, that'd be too obvious and he's too stupid

[gorbal]

51. Well, some say the anti-christ is just a personable international figure.

I think it was Nostrodamus. Acording to him, some red-head from the lower classes and a scientist will save us from him...so watch out for red-heads and scientests.

[bdamomma]

106. bush could be, he's very devious

[Tripmann]

6. I know it'll never happen but..

..can you imagine Stewart and Colbert having this guy as a guest LOL!!

[Occulus]

90. Why would it not happen?

Seems to me, if Chavez really wanted to make a statement, he could accept an invite from TDS or Colbert, and decline a similar offer from *.

Heh. I wonder what the response from the WH to that would be.

[The2ndWheel]

7. More like an imperial statist

Not sure why we have to bring the supernatural into this.

[Zensea]

8. It's a metaphor

most likely

[The2ndWheel]

19. I'm sure it is

But it doesn't help. Granted, calling him an imperial statist won't stop anything. Either way we're getting nowhere quick.

[Renew Deal]

9. Chavez is nuts.

Whether he believes that or not, it's poor form to say something like that at the UN.

[Show_Me _The_Truth]

12. Agreed

We would be criticizing Bush if he used language like that. And even did criticize him when he used terms like Axis of Evil.

But its Hugo, he gets a pass.

Solves nothing and sounds like old Communist Rhetoric with the "Yankee Go Home" line.

Calls Bush the Devil, but cozies up to people like Ahmadenijad.

[LeighAnn]

30. I couldn't agree more!

With Chavez, that is. Bush is responsible for more wholesale mass murder than anyone since Hitler. The Devil indeed!
Good to finally hear somebody telling it like it is!

[davidinalameda]

64. hate to burst your bubble

Pol Pot; the Soviet leaders; etc

[LeighAnn]

68. Guilty!

He's guilty of those murders too... by assoCIAtion.

[geek tragedy]

83. You do not dwell in the reality-based community. eom

[LeighAnn]

110. Reality-based community thinks 9-11 was caused by

Reality-based community thinks 9-11 was caused by Islamist Fascists who Hate Our Freedoms. In this sense, I do not dwell there.

[geek tragedy]

140. No, you're right. It was a controlled demo and a cruise missile. eom

[LeighAnn]

201. Well, it was because Bush was dealing with the Taliban

In the days leading up to September 11. Trying to put a pipeline through Afghanistan, you see. The Taliban wanted too much money. Read about John O'Neill, the FBI chief who spent years trying to get bin Laden and disrupt al CIAda only to be thwarted because Bushco was trying to make a sweet deal with the Taliban.

[TheWatcher]

116. Oh. My. GOD.

If there was EVER a Pot-Kettle Post on DU, THIS was it.

[geek tragedy]

141. Blaming Bush for Pol Pot's atrocities is the height of ignorance.

Hell, was he even old enough to drink back then?

[anotherdrew]

155. it's not ignorance, it's just an emotional reaction

anyway, do you doubt that had bush been around at the time he would have done any different? of course he might have been worse, but 'in spirit' he's no different than any of our past foolish murderous leaders who would gladly do it all over again.

[geek tragedy]

162. Yes, I do doubt that he would have done worse than Pol Pot.

He's still a criminal, but he doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame with guys like Pol Pot and Hitler.

[anotherdrew]

171. whoops

I didn't mean worse than Pol Pot, I meant 'make worse choices than the US leadership at the time did"

[geek tragedy]

174. Possibly. But, the leadership was Richard Milhous Nixon.

Nixon vs. Bush is kinda like Ruth vs. Aaron, except in a cynical, sucky way.

[davidinalameda]

94. so the CIA was behind the murders in Cambodia

interesting

[upi402]

97. many , see link

http://www.ckln.fm/~asadismi/CIA50.html

[upi402]

98. and here

http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/CIAtimeline.html

[davidinalameda]

99. by Pol Pot's regime?

[upi402]

101. re; cia reference

for clarification, sorry

[jacklambert]

96. LeighAnn, I not one to hold back, but...

you are at a level of hatred that defies logic. You really have to base your criticism in reality or you are going to lose credibility from even the sharpest Bush critics.

Or then again, maybe you're here just to stir the pot...but whatever, better stirred than smoked.

[upi402]

100. "better stirred than smoked" -please clarify

Thanks...

[jacklambert]

102. just that

it's better to be discussing beyond the realms of rational thought purposely because you're trying to stir the pot and not un-purposely because your high on pot.

[upi402]

104. thanks, smoked has 2 connotations

[LeighAnn]

113. Confucious say....

"Man who stand on toilet high on pot"

[arikara]

189. Interesting choice of words that

"level of hatred". Did she say she hated anyone? What I get from her is that she's not into buying the official hook, line and sinker. When we are lied to over and over and over, what should "reality" be based upon?

Its always interesting to see who these Chavez threads brings out of the woodwork.

[Spinoza]

144. No.

The greatest mass murderer in history is Mao Tse Tung. Read "Mao, The Unknown Story" by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday. Mao's killings made Hitler, Pol Pot and even Stalin look like pikers. Bush doesn't even come close.

[jacklambert]

58. Name-calling blows your credibility...

Chavez did nothing but divided people. I wonder what his views on Clinton, Gore or Kerry would be??

The US has always been involved in global activity. Will Chavez feel the same when a Democratic President is elected. Will he remain a thorn in the side of our leader no matter what affiliation??

[LeighAnn]

67. Depends on if our Democratic President tries to overthrow him

Generally, when one president tries to overthrow another president, that president wants to become a thorn in the side of the president that tried to overthrow him.

You can't call what Bush has done to the world "Global Activity". Mass murder, that's all.

[alcibiades_mystery]

80. LOL

I'm pretty sure Chavez doesn't give a good goddamn what power brokers in the US think, Democratic or Republican. Here's what's going to have to get through the head of every American at some point this century: people like Chavez are not speaking TO YOU. You can address the world whilke not addressing the United States. In fact, for many, that is an imperative, in the same way inmates planning a revolt would not be speaking to the guards.

[ClusterFreak]

14. It takes a nutjob to know a nutjob.

Which is why Chavez comments about Bush were so bang on. Calling him the Devil and that it still smelled of sulphur up there, and that a psychiatrist should be called in to understand Bush's comments or whatever...I mean, that shit is just pure gold. Hugo brought his "A" material, and should be headlining on the comedy club circuit. Even if a puffed-up, blustering demagogue like Chavez was delivering these comments, it was friggin' great to hear them. Bush is a puffed-up, blustering demagogue himself, so....

[Judi Lynn]

15. Very poor form at the UN involves telling lies to lay the foundation

for campaigns of mass murder and acquisition.

[KingFlorez]

20. You got that right

[RethugAssKicker]

28. exactly!... They prefer polished talk over substance!

[Renew Deal]

45. At least we agree.

[Cha]

63. Right, and Chavez told the truth.

I'm say "poor form" is having bolton as the ambassador(yeah right) and chimp's lies.

[Occulus]

173. He *was* applauded.

But I bet you think THAT was poor form as well.

I keep seeing that phrase, "poor form", used over and over again tonight, by the same, small group of DUers.

One could imagine they were being paid to say as much.

[IndianaGreen]

177. Chavez received "vigorous applause," according to The Guardian

I agree with you that "poor form" is part of a GOP talking point.

Delegates and leaders from around the world streamed back into the chamber to hear Mr Chávez, and when he stepped down the vigorous applause lasted so long that it had to be curtailed by the chair.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,1877243,00.html

Bush got tepid applause when he embarrassed himself at the UN.

[Cha]

185. I know you're not talking to me.

My "poor form" is in quotes and I'm talking about bolton and bush.

It just looks like you're addressing my post.

[RethugAssKicker]

26. Suppose you would prefer BS politico talk... double talk

the ususal confusing, double meanings....

Or as the American Indians used to say

White man speak with forked tongue !

Chavez told it like it is !

[Renew Deal]

46. Sorry, what's substantive about calling Bush the devil?

[Peace Patriot]

27. Poor form? POOR FORM??!! I'd say slaughtering 100,000 people in Iraq is

"poor form." I'd say advocating and employing torture is "poor form." I'd say looting the federal government is "poor form." I'd say shredding the Constitution is "poor form." I'd say spitting on international law is "poor form." I'd say letting the poor rot and die in the Katrina disaster is "poor form." I'd say applauding (and probably abetting) an attempted violent military coup in Venezuela is "poor form." I'd say pouring US taxpayer dollars illegally into Venezuelan elections, in support of the rich oil elite, is "poor form." I'd say freeing US-based global corporate predators of regulation and rightful taxation, and spreading sweatshop labor and impoverishment around the world, is "poor form." I'd say Bechtel Corp. privatizing the water in Bolivia, and then jacking up the prices to the poorest of the poor--even charging poor peasants for collecting rainwater!--is "poor form." I'd say giving billions of dollars to your vice president's company in no-bid contracts is "poor form." I'd say permitting gas gouging by your multi-billionaire buds in the oil industry is "poor form." I'd say stealing US elections is "poor form."

And I'd say that Hugo Chavez is a brilliant, and brave, and very funny man! Calling Bush "the devil" hit the metaphorical nail right on its head. Billions and billions of people are smiling about it today. The whole world is smiling. Yup. The devil and his evil ways. And imagine someone brave enough to SAY it! Very inspiring to all.

[RethugAssKicker]

34. AMEN BROTHER !!

Poor form... What BS to even think of, when compared to the EVIL WAYS of American Imperialism

[partylessinOhio]

52. Thank you!

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

77. May I second your post?

[mithnanthy]

157. Peace Patriot...

You are absolutely right! Chavez told it like it is! Finally somebody has the balls to rattle Chimpy's cage.

[Nihil]

183. Excellent response!

As you say, it's good to find that there are still people brave enough
to say it, knowing that the mighty US publicity machine will turn on him
(not to mention some of the more shadowy aspects of the US machine).

Hope he has an anthrax detector for his mail.

[ldf]

205. what PP said!

[cassiepriam]

31. It is not nuts to say the truth. More politicians should try it.

Bush is the devil incarnate.

[Renew Deal]

47. Prove Bush is the Devil Incarnate.

Until you can, it's hyperbolic bullshit that doesn't belong in a diplomatic chamber.

[cassiepriam]

73. Prove he isn't. Truth belongs anywhere, anytime.

Especially when it saves lifes.

Iraqi men, women and babies are being killed, raped and tortured
every day. Any one who works to stop this is on the side of the angels.

I pray Bleachers that you will use your intelligence and courage to fight the
good fight. Not start dissension on DU.

I hope you can feel my prayers now.

[Renew Deal]

87. You think Chavez cares about Iraq?

What is he doing to stop anything? All he does is self promotion and he does this constantly. But of course, that's not the point. Two wrongs don't make a right and juvenile name calling is not appropriate at the UN.

I pray cassiepriam that you will use your intelligence and courage to fight the
good fight. Not start dissension on DU.

[geek tragedy]

92. Huh? I think we agree. eom

[Occulus]

93. Because diplomats don't understand hyperbole. n/t

[scot]

178. Stop being an adult!

[arikara]

190. How about Bush sending his minion to the UN armed with a pack of lies

Was that good form?

[Freedom_from_Chains]

35. Then it is high time we started to develop poor form since

most of our leaders in the Democratic party won't do it. You may have not noticed but Bush has done a great job of taking over this country using religious metaphors. Apparently sheep respond well to them.

[Renew Deal]

48. The UN is a place of diplomacy.

It's supposed to be a place of peace. How does calling someone the devil fit in with that? It doesn't matter if you believe Bush is the devil, devil incarnate, a dirt devil, or Satan himself. It's just not appropriate for a place like the UN.

[howmad1]

79. Oh really?

Tell that to Colin Powell who spewed the worst lies ever in this "place of democracy". Cheers for Hugo Chavez. Oh, BTW, tell me all the great success the UN has had in the past few years to advance the cause for world peace.

[Renew Deal]

88. I would tell that to Colin Powell

Though I think he already knows. Two wrongs don't make a right.

[alcibiades_mystery]

81. He was being diplomatic with others

He started with the common values and commonly held assumption of most of the planet.

[rodeodance]

61. He is wrong to say this at the UN--instead he could have spoken about

the effect of US policies on the world. not personalize it the way he did.

[Occulus]

107. But they're the policies of *. It's directly his fault!

Do you think this would have happened if we had a Republican Congress and Gore in office?

[screembloodymurder]

70. Poor form?

I think Bush is on a first name basis with the Devil.

[Occulus]

91. Because speaking truth to power is *never* the right thing to do. n/t

[NeoConsSuck]

158. Poor Form?

And is it also poor form to speak at the UN and lie about Iraq WMD, as Colin Powell did? Or were you OK with that? I don't think Chavez's words are going to result in over 50,000 innocent lives.

And what has the White House Cockroach ever done for New York? Not as much as Chavez:

Individual homeowners and cooperatives in four of the city's five boroughs will be able to buy cheap fuel this winter from an oil-for-the-poor program, sources have told the Daily News.

CITGO Petroleum, the U.S. subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, has earmarked 25 million gallons of fuel for low-income New York residents this year at 40% off the wholesale market price.


http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/articles.php?artno=1822

[rman]

187. Is that opinion or fact?

The UN audience sure thought Chavez's remarks were funny.

[Jim Stark]

191. ABSOLUTELY WRONG

Chavez guy is a dangerous asshole

[LeighAnn]

10. Still smells of Sulfur!

Oh he was funny!!! The talking heads are having a fit!

http://www.hereinreality.com/hugo_chavez /

[aquart]

24. Sulfur? Bush was having bathroom problems again?

What is it about him and the UN?

[cal04]

11. accused Washington of "domination, exploitation

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez took his verbal battle with the United States to the floor of the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, calling President Bush "the devil."

"The devil came here yesterday," Chavez said. "He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world."

The leftist leader, who joined Iran last week in an alliance against U.S. influence, accused Washington of "domination, exploitation and pillage of peoples of the world."

"We appeal to the people of the United States and the world to halt this threat, which is like a sword hanging over our head," he said.

http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=13...

[gorbal]

120. I watched it on Cspan, and understood the context better

http://www.c-span.org /

I guess he doesn't sound so nutty. I'm not so worried about him....great speech really as I finish listening. He also recommended Noam Chomsky to a room full of world leaders...good suggestion.

Maybe Nostradomus meant a scientist and a hothead would save us from the manifestation of the anti-christ (instead of a scientest and a redhead)

Funny how the media spinned this; before I saw it I was believing he was ranting and raving and calling Bush the devil. But it IS more like a joke than anything else...the rest is serious.

[KingFlorez]

13. Good for him

It's a really fitting name for Bush.

[liberal N proud]

16. Call it like it is Hugo

[HuffleClaw]

17. and THAT is the ONLY thing we'll EVER hear about that speech

in the corporate media. never mind the rest, they'll be harping about this EVERY time they mention the name chavez from now until doomsday, just like they can't say the iranian guy's name without screaming that misquote about him 'wanting to wipe israel off the map'. BOTH of whom, i might add absolutely HAMMERED bush on his war-mongering oil-thieving policies, but we'll not be hearing that part.

its instances like this that prove beyond a doubt just WHERE the corporate media's allegiances lie.

[muriel_volestrangler]

29. And Chavez surely realises that

Namecalling is bound to generate headlines; it must be what Chavez wants.

[Roy]

137. The MSM harping is no big deal...

The corporate media would never report, nor discuss or analyse the rest anyway.

[nick303]

163. That was not a misquote from Iran's president

I don't think there is any doubt what his sentiment is on the matter. To think otherwise would lead me to believe you've been brainwashed.

[NashVegas]

18. Hugo Is Starting to Bore Me

He was great fun in 2002.

These days he looks more like a train wreck waiting to happen.

[RethugAssKicker]

21. Hes not there to entertain you...

he's there to help the people of Latin America... an Latin America is going through one of the greatest revolutions in its history... in a large part thanks to Hugo !

[VegasWolf]

32. Very Good response!!! nt

[NashVegas]

36. That's Debatable

As I am not Venezuelan, all I'm left with is observation.

And I observe that Hugo's use of rashness, while once refreshing, is becoming old and he's descending from being a leader to be respected into a raving loon.

He's making it very easy for Washington to isolate him.

[Minstrel Boy]

109. To think he's "isolated" is a credit to US media.

Venezuela will likely be elected to the Security Council in October, despite the US campaign against its bid. Have you noticed how much he's travelled the last couple of years, and how he's been received?

[Tuttle]

128. sort of like the overthrow that failed?

Washington to isolate Chavez: wasn't that like in March of 2002? The CIA sponsored coup d'etat?

Tut-tut

[Taoschick]

44. Chavez

Is certainly no statesman but he was damned lucky to be in the right place at the right time. The only thing keeping him at the top of his game right now is oil prices. If oil prices fall, he's going to have to find money for his poverty programs elsewhere. If he tries to cut programs for the poor, he'll find himself the most unpopular man in Venezuela.

[aquart]

22. Devil, devil's minion. There is some debate on that.

Some would say Satan is Cheney. Some would say Satan is Karl Rove.

Some would not give Bush credit for being THE Devil, just the Devil's underling. But he is doing a heckuva job. I am completely sure there is a warm, welcoming place in Hell for him.

[shayes51]

23. Takes one to know one.

[VegasWolf]

37. Nah! A devil is easy to spot, anyone who illegally occupies another

country and kills 100,000 innocent Iraqis for oil is a devil.

[RethugAssKicker]

38. What evil has Chavez done to warrant that comment !

[Vidar]

180. Chavez is a "good guy" because he's an extremely able

popular leader, a champion of the poor, an implacable foe of corrupt corporations, a man of tremendous personal courage and generosity. Hating Bush is icing on the cake.

[independentpiney]

40. CNN airheads were in shock

The red headed woman asked the cnn-espanol guy how it would play in south america., and when he said alot of people agree with Chavez, she said " you mean they're against the war on terror?

[bigworld]

42. CNN just embarasses me anymore.

[RethugAssKicker]

43. Wow... How fucking stupid... They just don't get it .. do they ?

[Cha]

65. "The war on terror" that the chimp

and his handlers perpetuated by going into the wrong country? That war on terror?

[Henny Penny]

204. Lol... wish I'd seen that!

If only he'd said a lot of people world wide agree with Hugo.

[bigworld]

41. hey - this certainly isn't breaking news!

[ForFuxakes]

49. THIS JUST IN!

SATAN FILES SUIT IN NEW YORK SUPERIOR COURT

Released September 20, 2066

Satan (AKA, Lucifer) filed a lawsuit today in New York superior court against the president of Venezuela alleging that comments made during a speech at the UN General assembly have caused him irreparable psychological damage and have caused him nightmares. The alleged comments arose as a result of the President referring to the leader of the United States as the "Devil"

The lawsuit further alleges a copyright infringement in that Satan will no longer be able to use his influence to "buy peoples souls" for riches on earth as the leader of the US has started a competitive business in the military-industrial complex....

rest of the lawsuit verbiage here: www.666.com

[savemefromdumbya]

74. LOL!

[ForFuxakes]

50. Oops...double post

[AngryAmish]

53. Every DUer should memorize this speech

Whenever you run across any person just look them in the eye and say: "Bush is the devil". The people who agree with you are the right thinking folk. The others will have to be dealt with.

[bamacrat]

54. Why is it that Bitch can call other countries leaders evil doers...

But as soon as its turned around, its blasphemy. Go Chavez.

[dolo amber]

147. "Axis of Evil"...."Evil Empire"....

These weren't statements condemning the LEADERS of Iraq, Syria and N. Korea/USSR....these statements were condemning entire COUNTRIES and by extension the people of those countries. Chavez at the very least had the decency to single out El Diablo.

[Minstrel Boy]

55. Live Chavez press conference coming up NOW on UN webcast

channel 2, scheduled to begin at 12:45 est.

[onehandle]

56. Chavez is hardly an innocent. nt

[Minstrel Boy]

57. please, continue.

you know you want to.

[RethugAssKicker]

82. Go on ... tell us all about the evil things Chavez has done !

Can't can you ?

[Judi Lynn]

115. You'd be doing everyone a favor by posting all those links I'm sure you

have reavealing how it is you know "Chavez is hardly an innocent."

DU'ers who've been keeping track of Venezuelan news for years would be very thankful to know what it is you've got.

[El Zopilote]

59. El Diablo

I'm proud of our Hispanic community and our American and Democratic Party allies for showing support and admiration for Mr. Chavez. His speech left no doubt amongst the international community as to who El Diablo really is.

Todos a la calle!

[Radioactive]

60. The courage of these nutjob leaders astounds me

Ahmadinajad, Chavez they just turn up in New York without a care in the World and let loose.

[Mudoria]

66. We should always ask

WWHD The greatest leader leader the world has ever seen! The man is infallible. No wonder so many DU'ers follow him like the a modern day Jesus. Viva Chavez! May you rule Venezuela forever!!
