Chavez foe seen victim of anti-Semitism in Venezuela

9. I dunno--those comments are pretty indefensible.

I'd wager the hope is that this thread will sink. There's no justification for some of those bigoted remarks--none whatsoever. Who could defend those words? Low-life, pig, Jew, gay? He didn't intend any of those remarks as a compliment, either. They are not the comments of a progressive person, at all, in any circumstance. They are unsupportable hate speech--no two ways about it.

And that flawless, error-free election system in VZ, that is run by the ruling government? They're whining about the numbers, as though the opposition is gaming the system! The irony!

And Hugo has rallied his minions to go out and insult the guy as well:

Much of the official ire against Capriles has focused on Sunday's primary, saying the overall numbers were inflated to give an impression of massive opposition turnout -- even though the state electoral authority supervised the poll.

...Analysts say the finally united opposition -- which in the past has been crippled by in-fighting and failed to dislodge Chavez via mass street protests or a string of votes -- has its best chance in 13 years of unseating him in October.
Yet the president still appears to have the edge, thanks to high popularity among the poor, a formidable party machine and an extraordinary pre-election spending spree on welfare projects like allowances for single mothers and pensioners.
Recent polls show Chavez would win about 60 percent of the vote in October, though analysts say that could change if Capriles runs a dynamic campaign. He plans to start a tour of Venezuela from next week.

Capriles needs good bodyguards, armoured transportation, and ballistic clothing, IMO.
