Hey, Hugito: boo!
castro's Venezuelan clown comes up with a new low, a fresh innovative new way to make a jackass of himself. Nobody does it like him.
Man, he's stupid. Here's the ignoramus' latest pearl of wisdom:
Chavez: Halloween part of U.S. culture of terror
Sunday, October 30, 2005
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Hugo Chavez urged Venezuelan parents not to dress their children in costumes for Halloween, calling it a U.S. custom that has no place in the South American country's cultural traditions.
Speaking during his weekly radio and television show Sunday, Chavez called Halloween a "gringa," or North American, custom.
"Families go and begin to disguise their children as witches," Chavez said. "That is contrary to our ways."
Chavez said he was urging Venezuelans to reflect on the subject. In recent years it has become common to see Venezuelan parents holding parties for children dressed as ghouls, animals and witches.
In one odd incident a week ago, authorities found more than a dozen jack-o'-lanterns left in spots around Caracas bearing anti-government messages and what appeared to be bomb-like fuses. Police and firefighters removed the pumpkins with caution, though the jack-o'-lanterns reportedly bore messages saying they were not explosives.
Paper skeletons bearing anti-Chavez messages also have appeared in spots across Caracas recently, and government officials have blamed sectors of the opposition with aiming to create chaos.
Chavez did not refer to those incidents in his comments on Halloween. But he urged parents to think about whether it was appropriate to dress up their children as part of a foreign custom, calling it "the game of terror."
He said that is part of the U.S. culture -- "terrorism, putting fear into other nations, putting fear into their own people."

Can you believe that Cindy Sheehan is going to Argentina next week to join Chavez and Diego Maradona in a march to protest the visit by president Bush to participate in the Summit of the Americas that will take place in Mar del Plata? I just put a note about that and this woman's e-mail in www.therealcuba.com in case someone wants to write to her.
Sheehan claims to be protesting the war in 'honor' of her son who died in Iraq, but by joining those who support the criminal dictator who has caused so much pain and suffering to thousands of Cuban mothers who have seen their sons die during the last 47 years of Castro's genocide against the Cuban people, Sheehan is proving to be a hypocrite whose real interest is in getting publicity for herself.
Cuban mothers who have lost their sons at the hands of Castro have the right to demand respect from everyone, and that includes Cindy Sheehan.

What worries me is Hugo's relationship with a another ghoul Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Hugo wants the bomb just like crazy Castro did.

Tying a holiday with Central European and pre-Colombian mesoamerican routes to 'US terrorism' is quite entertaining.
I hope he keeps up such BS. It ranks down there with UFOs and alien abductions as a credible issue.
