I am only five minutes into a documentary on the Discovery Times channel titled "Venezula: Revolution" concerning the attempt to overthrow the Venezulan "President." The reason why I am posting this topic is because I have been watching for just a few minutes and noticed something very odd, something that would probably rub a lot of Chavez supporters on this forum the wrong way...or would it?

There have been two scenes so far: one of Chavez speaking at a rally and the other from a protest. At the first event, Chavez says, "The devil has a master in the north [Bush] who is capable of anything. But we have God on our side...it is the 'no' of Christ to imperialism! It's the 'no' of Christ!"

At the second event, an old woman is holding a poster with pictures of Chavez plastered onto it. She remarks, "God sent him [Chavez]. God won't take him away. The only President sent by God is Hugo Chavez...no one else."
 

Now it seems that these people are pretty convinced that God is totally for Chavez and against the U.S. and Bush. Now recall everytime that President Bush has invoked the name of God against terrorists. Some of these same Chavez supporters like BRTD get angry with such "extreme Christian behavior." Imagine if Bush made a televised speech and called his opponents the "masters of the devil." How hard would the same Chavez fanatics laugh if I said that Bush was sent by God. So what's my point? I want the strong defenders of "President" Chavez to offer their commentary on this issue. I want to know if they will denounce his actions or if they'll just come right out and defend him (making themselves total hypocrites).

Only when he says something completely retarded like "God told me to invade Iraq". Big difference between that and what the topic's about.

Sent by God to be President? Bush is the devil's master? That's not retarded? Thanks, hypocrite.

By the way, if Bush said he was sent by God to be President you'd be going crazy.

Oh, of course! But when some conservatives do it, it certainly would not be a metaphor!

No, because they are hypocrites. Thanks for proving my point.
