Venezuelan leftist dictator Hugo Chavez took his show to the United States to the floor of the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, calling President Bush “the devil,” reported by AP. But what the AP didn’t report was:
“It Still Smells of Sulfur here...the devil was here yesterday.”
(Ironic, in that Chavez’s Citgo oil is the most sulfur-laden sour, tar-like oil in the Western Hemisphere).
“Bush, I have the feeling you are going to live the rest of your days as a nightmare...” “We need a psychologist to analyze Bush... YANKEE IMPERIALISTS GO HOME... Maybe we need to move the United Nations out of USA'... It Still Smells of Sulfur here... --- Chavez
----DrudgeReport.com.
The Marxist leader, who has joined Iran, North Korea, Syria and Cuba in opposing U.S. influence, accused Washington of "domination, exploitation and pillage of peoples of the world." He also said the U.N. "doesn't work" in its current system and is "antidemocratic." He called for reform, saying the U.S. government's "immoral veto" had allowed recent Israeli bombings of Lebanon to continue unabated for more than a month. " Venezuela once again proposes today that we reform the U.N. he said. He drew tentative giggles at times from the audience, but also some applause when called U.S. "imperialism" a menace.
Of course, the AP also chose not to report that 100 percent of Citgo profits in America go directly to Chavez’s state-owned PDVSA oil company. Nor did they report that the U.S. taxpayers pay 22-25 percent of the entire U.N. budget, not including New York’s increased police protection. Chavez also suggested that the U.N. be moved to Venezuela, (not reported by AP).
AP did report on another wire feed, a well-known liberal author’s book, on Hugo Chavez’s reading list: the Spanish language version of Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance by Noam Chomsky. My leftist friends just love Chomsky.
Maybe Citgo stations can give Chomsky’s books away with every fill-up!

The countries who have human rights atrocities have rallied together as a united front to detract the negative in their own countries.
It is so easy to read and also so easy to be blinded by Hugo’s comments and other dictator grand illusionists.
It is so easy to point out the inequities in this world but if he would spend time in his country to improve the standard of living put some action and back-up his words he would be at least taken seriously.
And if he truly loved Castro and the country of Cuba he should donate at least 30 oil wells to help the Cuban economy.
Why stop there get all oil producing Latin American countries to allocate 25% of the oil wells for all of Latin American countries to help the non-oil producing countries.
The worst thing is Hugo’s lips, they are what you call, “crybaby lips” he is not eloquent nor enlightening, and his rantings with those crybaby lips make him loook as if he was a child having a temper tantrum.
Put his money were his “crybaby” mouth is.
Greg // September 20, 2006 at 4:02 pm |
He does have a fat little boy’s face and you are right, ‘crybaby lips’. But he sure wants to be king! It’s scary how easily people are fooled by his campaigns. Joe Kennedy is one of Hugo’s friends and was going to meet him this morning at a press conference in New York over “Discounted fuel oil for Democrats” a promotion with T-shirts.

[...] This morning at 11AM EST, Hugo Chavez (D-Venezuela) provided the Democratic response to President Bush’s address to the United Nations yesterday. Following the tried-and-true talking points, which have been the staple of recent addresses by Harry Reid, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and Cindy Sheehan, Chavez responded to Bush’s JFK-style challenge to the world dictators populating the general assembly at the UN, by calling Bush “the devil.” Actually, the real devil Chavez was smelling had actually been at the podium after Bush, praying to his god and threatening to usher in the final conflagration before the coming of the Hidden Imam: [...]

Hey President Chavez,
Just a note to let you know that I will not be buying gasoline at Citgo. I don’t want my money going to someone who supports terrorist nations such as Iran and Cuba and who calls the President of the United States “The Devil”.
I suggest that you stop acting like such an asshole and grow up. Stop blaming all of your country’s problems on the United States!

I wonder what Hugo, Fidel, Kim Jung-Il and the Islamo fasciasts were planning in Cuba last week? We have to start the Citgo boycott now. Let him ship his sulfur-laden oil to China. He calls his own middle class rancid. The thug is an uneducated, low class, fat clown on the world stage because of his Citgo oil company of 14,000 statiions across America. That number is falling finally. Let’s see it down to a few hundred in Ted Kennedy’s voting district.

I read the following at DEBKAfile this morning:
“DEBKAfile’s Iranian sources report that Ahmadinejad also talked persuasively to Chavez about making a show of deploying a few Iranian-made 2,000-km range Shahab-3 missiles – first in Venezuela then in Cuba – as a menace to the United States.
Chavez has not given Tehran his answer. But both he and Castro will think twice about granting this request, for fear of crossing one line too many for the Bush administration to swallow. However, Iranian ambitions to harm American know no limits.”

This just in: Joe Kennedy who owns several Citgo stations is the distributor of Hugo’s “Discounted Fuel Oil for Democrats” PR program. He was to meet and greet Hugo this morning in Harlem. But cancelled due to “family issues.” Follow the money. Citgo was passing out T-shirts with the slogan “From Venezuela’s heart to America’s harths” — How sweet! Maybe it was America’s hearse, I’m not sure on that. How about “Hugo – Take Your Citgo Gas and Shove it Up Your Ass!”
Jeff Beatty for Congress // September 21, 2006 at 11:33 am |
Chavez apologist William Delahunt (D-MA) must be defeated!
After Hugo Chavez’s tirade against President Bush and the United States of America in front of the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York yesterday, I think that it’s quite clear that this lunatic is a threat to the safety and security of the citizens of the United States.
Chavez’s best friend in the U.S. House of Representative, William Delahunt is an enabler of enemies of the United States like Chavez, and he must be defeated in his congressional re-election bid this fall!
Vote for Jeff Beatty! He is a good and decent man who has bravely served his country, and who is committed to fighting terrorists and their supporters.
Hey Delahunt… After you are defeated for re-election in November, why don’t you take the CITGO sign at Fenway Park which you had Chavez pay to renovate, and move down to Caracas to be closer to your buddy?

I followed the same link on the Drudge report and got an eyeful of Chavez’s rantings about the demon boy Bush and how our nation exists only to flaunt its muscle at all times. Quite the disgruntled beaver he was, but then, so are a number of nations we deal with these days. I tried to address this issue with a little satire and the added element of dodgeball on my blog today. Don’t know what to make of it yet!

UPDATE: Citgo management was voicing concern today over Hugo Chavez and his anti-American rants. Some quotes: “This is going to cost us, heavily.” “We haven’t ever seen this level of complaints.”
I will report more on Citgo marketers dropping the brand and the kinds of complaints fielded by the phone bank of receptionists…

Did you know that Venezuela has one of the highest per-capita rates for women spending money on plastic surgery proceedures? Yes, a higher rate than the USA. Second only to Brazil. Yet, Hugo is discounting fuel oil (but still making a huge profit) in Harlem, at the same time he spoke before OPEC asking the cartel to slow oil production to push the price per barrel to $80. And he sells his gas to the people of Venezuela for about 12 cents per gallon, even the ‘rancid’ middleclass, as he calls them.
Hugo Chavez could get a higher percentage of votes in New York than he can in his own country.
Just say NO to CITGO! // September 22, 2006 at 3:07 pm |
I have been noticing new “Boycot CITGO” petitions popping up all over the internet, and I am signing as may of them as I can!
Here’s a link to one of them: http://www.grassfire.org/80/petition.asp?PID=11189135
I’m even going a step further… I stopped at my local CITGO station (located at Victory Boulevard and the service road of the westbound West Shore Expressway in Staten Island, New York) and told people who were getting ready to gas up their cars of the fact that CITGO is owned by the Venezuelan state oil company.
Of the ten people I spoke to in the brief time I was there, eight people drove off without getting gas, one person said that he agrees with me, but his car was on the verge of running out of gas, and one kool-ade drinking liberal fool told me that he agrees with Chavez, and uses CITGO gasoline exclusively!!! An 80% success rate! That’s not bad considering I live in a borough of NYC!!!
BOYCOTT CITGO… SPREAD THE WORD!!!

ScottAllens blog brought up the exact idea I had posted above. The famous Citgo sign overlooking Fenway Park
Fox News reported this morning that a Boston City Councilman is trying to have the famous Citgo landmark removed from Kenmore Square which overlooks Fenway Park and replace it with the United States flag. Sounds like a fantastic idea! I grew up in Boston and love the Sox, but the sign means nothing to me anymore. Citgo, which is owned by Venezuela, and Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s President, have worn out their welcome in this country.

Nice Right wing bullcrap… stay together… ever notice how 85% of Venezuela approve of Chavez while only 40% think Bush is doing a good job. I voted republican for 25 years. No more. Guess what Bush is doing a crapy job… he couldn’t even come up with some fake WMD’s in IRAQ. Open your eyes and look at fact or or better yet go somewhere where the media isn’t so biased and understand why these people are unhappy with our foreign policy.

Lonny, Are you part of the rancid middle class? That’s what Hugo Chavez calls his hard working, educated, tax paying middle class. Listen to Hugo’s speeches, he is saying he wants to destroy the U.S. He wants to ruin our economy and form a united socialist group to defeat the U.S., U.K., Australia, Mexico, Canada, any of the West’s democracies. His tool is Citgo oil.
Lonny // September 25, 2006 at 9:23 am |
Mic,
I have listened to his speeches, his rhetoric is ridiculous, however not everything he says is false, AND that is the problem. It is no different than saying four countries are the “Axis of Evil” and must be “dealt with”. We have very legitimate reason for dealing with our Axis of Evil as well as why Al-Qaida has legitimate gripes about our government. We have done some pretty heinous things around the world as well.
My point to all of this, is we as a nation must be aware that other nations /people may not share our opinion on something, and that it doesn’t give us the right to use our tools(military might and money) to “get our way”.
Understanding your enemy will result in one of two outcomes. You may realize you are not enemies at all. OR You will be much more effective at neutralizing them.
Just a few more cents
Mic // September 25, 2006 at 9:53 am |
Lonny, That’s better. You had me worried a bit earlier. I have to agree with you. We must understand our enemy.
Just say NO to CITGO! // September 26, 2006 at 4:11 am |
I was watching “Your World with Neil Cavuto” on the Fox News Channel yesterday afternoon, and in one of the show’s segments, Boston City Councilor Jerry P. McDermott was a guest explaining his proposal to have the CITGO sign in Kenmore Square removed and replaced with an American flag.
Although Mr. Cavuto seemed to be receptive to the idea of removing this so-called “icon”, due to the fact that it is nothing more than an advertisement for a wholly owned subsidiary of Hugo Chavez’s state run oil company, he said that he did not support a boycott of CITGO products because he feels that it would adversely impact American “mom and pop retailers”.
I found Mr. Cavuto’s reasoning top be ridiculous, as these “mom and pop retailers” are not obligated to buy their products from, or brand their gas stations with, CITGO.
In fact, a former CITGO location not far from where I live has now been rebranded, and is now selling, Valero gasoline. Why can’t all of the existing CITGO retailers do likewise?
Don’t get me wrong… I enjoy watching many of the programs on the Fox News Channel, but I can’t understand why people like Neil Cavuto and Bill O’Reilly, who have voiced their outrage with the recent statements of Hugo Chavez, are not supporting a boycott of CITGO, Chavez’s state run oil company!!!
O’Reilly is currently urging a boycott of French products, so why won’t he support a boycott of Venezuelan owned CITGO? In my opinion, Venezuela is a far greater threat to the economic security of the United States than France is!!!
What say you, fellow bloggers?
Mic // September 26, 2006 at 8:00 am |
Great observations. I know that Citgo is running hundreds of thousands of dollars in ads on Fox. I think it is leverage to keep O’Reilly quiet. I once trusted Fox News, they have advocated boycotts of Exon in the past and French products. Hugo Chavez is a bigger danger and the “mom and pop” (so cute) jobber millionaires can find a new distributor, many are doing just that. Why doesn’t the fair and balanced Fox News find out who owns the independent gas stations carrying the Citgo brand. Among them is Joe Kennedy.
Citgo’s retail locations were listed at 14,000 -15,000 just two years ago. Today, that number is not so clear. Some analysts believe it is now in the 11,000-12,000 range. Why can’t a mainstream media reporter find out?
One problem with Citgo distributors switching brands, they would have to keep their restrooms clean and fix up their slum-like retail outlets to be allowed to carry any other brand. Plus, Citgo is offering more discounts on gas to keep them. In the long run, a boycott of Citgo will help drop prices of all brands. Chavez has said that he may shut off all oil to America to cripple our economy. Like President Bush said, I think we should take Hugo seriously. Let’s beat him to the punch and slow down his revolution. Don’t buy your gas at Citgo — for America’s future.

Thanks in large part to citizens like you, momentum is building for a boycott of Citgo as outraged citizens take action against the Hugo Chavez-owned company.
Florida legislators are considering canceling a contract with Citgo while Boston leaders want the giant “Citgo” sign outside Fenway Park removed. Also, New York Governor George Pataki announced his personal boycott of Citgo and reports are starting to come in from business leaders pledging to boycott Citgo.
I am so glad to hear that you have personally joined the Citgo boycott. Like you, I don’t want my money in any way benefiting a totalitarian thug who called our President “the devil” and made a mockery of the sign of the cross!

You might want to put your efforts somewhere else.
Mic // September 28, 2006 at 7:45 am |
Lonny, not to disagree with you, but the news on mainstream media about 7-Eleven dropping Citgo is right now. Of course, your boss, Hugo Chavez was threatening to stop the flow of oil to America for well over a year. The management at 7-Eleven knew this was a sour deal, much like the thick, sour crude oil coming from a dictator who wants to see the downfall of America.
Just say NO to CITGO! // September 28, 2006 at 9:55 am |
From the South Florida Sun-Sentinel:
——————–
7-Eleven drops Venezuela’s Citgo; politics part of reason
——————–
Staff and wire reports
September 28, 2006
7-Eleven is dropping Venezuelan-owned Citgo as its gasoline supplier as part of a plan to launch its own brand of fuel, but the company said Wednesday its decision was also partly motivated by politics.
A firestorm of controversy erupted after Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called President Bush “the devil” during a recent speech at the United Nations. A Florida state representative has called on Tallahassee
to remove Citgo gas stations from Florida’s Turnpike, a Boston councilman wants to replace the giant Citgo sign near Fenway Park with
an American flag, and radio talk show participants have said they will boycott Citgo stations.
While there has been no organized effort to boycott Citgo, the oil company could face other challenges. Citgo sells gas, diesel and other products to federal, state and local government agencies, as well as to private companies.
But any boycott of Citgo gas stations would not hurt just the oil company, said Jim Smith, president of the Florida Petroleum Marketing &
Convenience Store Association, which represents about 5,600 independently owned gas outlets. It would also take income from
thousands of small operators who own and run Citgo stations, he said. Citgo does not own any stations carrying its brand, but sells gas and other oil products to franchisees under contract.
Citgo Petroleum Corp. is a Houston-based subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-run oil company, and 7-Eleven is worried that anti-American comments made by Chavez might prompt motorists to fill up elsewhere.
“Regardless of politics, we sympathize with many Americans’ concern over derogatory comments about our country and its leadership recently made by Venezuela’s president,” 7-Eleven spokeswoman Margaret Chabris said.
“Certainly Chavez’s position and statements over the past year or so didn’t tempt us to stay with Citgo,” she added.
Instead, 7-Eleven will now purchase fuel from several distributors, including Tower Energy Group of Torrance, Calif., Sinclair Oil of Salt
Lake City, and Houston-based Frontier Oil Corp.
Chabris said 7-Eleven’s decision to sell its own brand was based on many factors, including Citgo’s decision this summer to stop supplying
stations in parts of Texas and other states to focus on retailers closer to its refineries in Corpus Christi, Texas; Lake Charles, La.; and
Lemont, Ill.
But 7-Eleven had been considering creating its own brand of fuel since at least early last year, and some analysts suggested 7-Eleven may now
be hyping the political angle a way to curry favor with U.S. consumers.
“This has nothing to do with Chavez,” said Oil Price Information Service director Tom Kloza. “They [7-Eleven] just didn’t want to be tied to one supplier.”
Oil analyst Kloza said all 7-Eleven did was seek out suppliers who could sell it the cheapest fuel and “that was not Citgo.”
Citgo spokesman Fernando Garay declined to comment on whether Chavez’s comments had a bearing on 7-Eleven’s change in suppliers. He said the break was “a mutual agreement of the two companies.”
7-Eleven sells gas at about 2,100 of its 5,300 U.S. stores. Garay said 7-Eleven was a “significant” part of Citgo’s retail presence in Texas and Florida. “It was a valued relationship,” he said.
Angered by President Chavez’ attack on President Bush at the U.N., Rep. Adam Hasner, D-Delray Beach, said he wanted to “send a clear message to Chavez” and the Venezuelan government.
Hasner sent a letter to Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Denver Stutler asking whether the state could cancel Citgo’s exclusive
contract to sell fuel at turnpike service stations. The letter was under review, a DOT spokesman said. Hasner also sent a copy of the letter to
Gov. Jeb Bush, who lived in Venezuela when he represented a Texas bank there.

This is citizen journalism in action. The mainstream media, or old media, are too PC to follow the news to the Marxist devil Hugisto Chavez and ask for a boycott. Even Fox News is afraid to lose the Citgo advertising money.

John, isn’t that the good pap you are learned, that Bush hates the poor, and Marxists hate the rich, while Hugo ‘the Boss’ Chavez, Fidel Castro live like kings raping their countries of riches and rights for individuals.
John // October 1, 2006 at 5:04 pm |
Mic,
If you stand on principle against ‘kings raping their countries of riches and rights for individuals’, why not start with Saudi Arabia?
Mic // October 2, 2006 at 6:10 pm |
Saudi Arabia kings have a history in that land of over 5,000 years and they do not call their middle class rancid as they comfiscate their property. The Saudi kings are not calling Americans rancid or their elected president a devil. See the difference?
John // October 3, 2006 at 1:29 am |
The Saudi family took over about a hundred years ago, after defeating other clans. I’m not sure, but are you arguing for divine right here? Let me explain why I brought up Saudi Arabia. The similarities between Saudi Arabia and Venezuela is that they are oil-rich, and that the countries have been controlled largely by the oil cartel, and a very small population of elites. The rich get everything, and the poor get nothing. It’s probably more extreme in Saudi Arabia.
I can’t vouch for Chavez, but I haven’t seen where he called Americans rancid. I think he was talking about the Venezuelan middle class. In Saudi Arabia, however, the lower classes…
whatever.
You’re upset about the name calling, right?
Mic // October 3, 2006 at 7:56 am |
No. Not the name calling. The mind set that Chavez can take what’s not his “for the poor.” But the poor never end up with any of it. Look at Russia and Cuba. I guess everyone who has a few dollars more or a few years of education more is rancid. But an ex-military thug who failed at a military over throw of his country, finally won elections due to a split vote. Next, he changes the constitution so that he becomes a long-term dictator.
John // October 3, 2006 at 7:28 pm |
Would you change your mind if Chavez started helping the poor?
Mic // October 3, 2006 at 7:32 pm |
No. I would change my mind of Hugo would not try and extend his stay and leave after two terms.
Mic // October 5, 2006 at 1:28 pm |
