If a king can't stand up for his country, he must at least be able to excuse himself from hearing it bagged.

Definite Freedom Fighter. I believe that's the first time I've used that description on this forum.

Chavez is a pain in the neck and a man who gives a bad name to decent socialists.

Since Juan Carlos came to power under the tutelage of a real fascist, it is very understandable why he would be upset at someone using the term as a cheap political insult without any real merit.

Apparently, Chavez is now comparing the king insulting him to the persecution of Jesus.

How on Earth is Hugo Chavez's experience anything like the suffering of our Lord Jesus?

Jesus was whipped, paraded through the streets, nailed to a cross naked (as was the custom at the time) and spent three hours slowly suffocating. He then proceeded to spend over a day in hell.

Hugo Chavez got heckled by a monarch, who promptly left the room. He received no physical injury whatsoever. The only injury he received was to his pride.

As a Christian (so he claims) he should know much better.

To me, Chavez is not only able of stupid declarations, I consider is also able of stupid acts and he seems to don't care about the consequences, he seems to be a sort of man affraid by nothing.

So, in spite of his stupid declarations, I think we should seriously consider him.

I think it helps Chavez to have Franco's heir criticizing him.

Sure... among people who have next to no knowledge about Juan Carlos, Franco or Spanish political history in general between the '60s and '80s.

Except that Juan Carlos is extremely popular even among those Spaniards who, in general, would like to see the monarchy abolished.  I am not aware if such a poll was ever done, but I'd be shocked if in a sample of self-professed Spanish republicans (in the Spanish sense of the word) Juan Carlos would get a less than 60% or even 70% approval rating.  Even when you speak to Catalan republican nationalists, most of them profess their highest respect for this particular monarch. I think that in a race between Chavez and the King where all voters were card-carrying members of the Spanish Communist Party (the IU), the King would win by a decent margin.  There is no politician in Spain (and hasn't been in 30 years) who comes close to the King in popularity and respect - and this popularity is, probably, higher on the Spanish left and among opponents of Franco than it is on the right.
