Hugo Chavez, the beloved tyrant of liberals everywhere, is doing what liberals always do – becoming a political bully:
CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened on Saturday to imprison his main political rival, intensifying a campaign against a man he calls a crime boss just a month before he faces tough regional elections.
Opposition leader Manuel Rosales, who lost to Chavez in the 2006 presidential vote, is governor of the oil producing state of Zulia and is running for mayor of its capital Maracaibo.
“I am determined to put Manuel Rosales behind bars. A swine like that has to be in prison,” Chavez said.
Chavez railed against Rosales at a gathering of businessmen in Zulia, urging the audience to vote against his rival for allegedly plotting to assassinate him, running crime gangs and illegally acquiring cattle ranches.
Chavez provided no specific evidence for the charges against the main leader of a fragmented opposition who has solid support in the oil-producing west of the OPEC nation.
What? Did you really expect a liberal to give evidence of something they claim? But that aside, really I don’t know much about Rosales. He may be a thug and a criminal. But any time a flat out Marxist starts calling his political opponent such things you can bet it is because he or she is at least not as radical as the Marxist hurling the charges.
And this is the guy Sean Penn and other Hollywood liberals are palling around with? Who knows. After November 4th they may not have to leave the country to pal around with someone as radical as this in a position of high power.
