Democrats defending Bush!!!!

Wow. Kudo's to them!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - One of President George W. Bush's fiercest political opponents at home took his side on Thursday, calling Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez a "thug" for his remark that Bush is like the devil.

"Hugo Chavez fancies himself a modern day Simon Bolivar but all he is an everyday thug," House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said at a news conference, referring to Chavez' comments in a U.N. General Assembly speech on Wednesday.

RANGEL: AN ATTACK ON BUSH IS AN ATTACK ON ALL AMERICANS... 'You do not come into my country, my congressional district, and you do not condemn my president. If there is any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not. I just want to make it abundantly clear to Hugo Chavez or any other president, but do not come to the United States and think because we have problems with our president that any foreigner can come to our country and not think that Americans do not feel offended when you offend our Chief of State'...

And then there is the Holywood left

NEW YORK — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, appearing Thursday at a Harlem Church for an oil-for-poor event, repeated his 'devil' reference hurled a day earlier at President Bush during a speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

Chavez, dressed in his signature red shirt, was introduced at the podium by activist actor Danny Glover.

At one point Chavez told the crowd, "sometimes the devil takes human form," a comment that drew some boos — and applause — from the crowd who interpreted the reference to mean President Bush.

Why on why do Americans embrace these people?

Cindy is absolutely bat-shit insane. I don't think many are going to defend her.

I hate Hugo and Cindy.

It pisses me off whenever I see a picture of either of them, particulary Cindy.

Dude, the Ahmedenajad (sp?) and Chavez are being invited to speak around the US. People, like Cindy, are embracing these guys. They don't have to give him a hug to show they are welcoming him.

An overwhelming majority of people in this country disagree with both of these men.

There's a few conservatives who could be found that'd agree with the KKK or Nazi's or whatever, but that's hardly representitive of their movement. It's disingenuous to make the claim that there's broad support for their outrageous position by "the left".

I've not accused anyone in particular of accepting these people, except those that repeat what they say and invite them to give talks, and of course those that go to listen to them speak.

Here's another. Today, Danny Glover. I'm pretty sure they are dancing.

As long as you hate Bush, you can't be all that bad I guess.

wow that is pretty fucking cool

We're a big disfunctional family... We can talk shit about each other all we want, but if you come into our house and talk shit about one of us, we'll all beat your ass.

I saw that congressman on TV today, and I listened to what he said...

And I understand why he said it.

However, I have to wonder, has our President, current or former, ever gone abroad and talked shit about another leader in their home country? Is this something we are condemning, even though we've done it ourselves?

Have we?

I don't know, and don't have time to research if we had.

But, I know that we tend to give alot of countries reasons to hate us, if we are going to hate a leader, not only because of doctrine, but because of a speech they make about our leader, then it makes me wonder if we are being two faced...a bit...

I can't imagine that NONE of our Presidents have ever said anything about another leader on foreign soil, with the Cold War on.....

Not that I know of.

I don't agree with Pilosi...Chavez should be able to say whatever he wants at the UN, that's the point of these UN meetings...but going out into churches and whatnot and talking shit crosses the line.
