In reply to the discussion: Chavez foe seen victim of anti-Semitism in Venezuela [View all]joshcryer
(62,536 posts)12. I'm not sure where you're seeing Chavez say that.
Chavez called Capriles a low life (or alternate slang, "limp d**k"
pig.
The "gay Nazi Zionist" crap came from other PSUV shills.
And yes, it is humorous for the Venezuelan elections, cleanest in all of Latin America, if not the hemisphere, to be called defrauded but that's old news. We have posted a few posts about it in LatAm if you're interested. Name calling is an attempt by the PSUV to try to control the narrative, and get the massive primary win out of the news and out of the public psyche. So far MUD is not taking the bait and only a few candidates are denouncing it or engaging it. MCM is the only one who will do that and because she placed last in the primaries she can be the Ron Paul of the MUD.

I'm quite sure Chavez has those things, so I don't quite take the "ironic" point.

What's bothering him is that for the first time the opposition isn't taking the bait.

Just a clarification here, Capriles did not support the coup, and Chavez' own judges...
