Socialismo-light, alive & well in Venezuela...

heh. Chavez: U.S. will 'bite the dust' if it invades.

The U.S. government has strongly denied Chavez's claims that it is considering military action against Cuba's closest ally in the Americas.

But Chavez said late Monday that the U.S. government, which "won't stop caressing the idea of invading Cuba or invading Venezuela," should be warned of the consequences.

“If someday they get the crazy idea of coming to invade us, we’ll make them bite the dust defending the freedom of our land,” Chavez said to applause.

Hehehehe.

I knew this dude once, Saddam something. Said something eerily similar...

Moving along...

He spoke during the opening ceremony of a world youth festival bringing together student delegations from across the world and convened under the slogan “Against Imperialism and War.”

Chavez called the United States the “most savage, cruel and murderous empire that has existed in the history of the world.”

The Venezuelan leader said “socialism is the only path,” and told the students the collective goal is to “save a world threatened by the voracity of U.S. imperialism.”

Earlier, the students waved flags, danced in traditional dress, and held signs praising socialism, Cuban leader Fidel Castro and Ernesto “Che” Guevara.

More than 300 students from the United States shouted out their disapproval of U.S. President George W. Bush, chanting “Get out Bush!” Other students chanted: “Bush, fascist — you’re a terrorist!”

This is my ABSOLUTE MOST FAVORITE PART:
This year's World Festival of Students and Youth is the 16th. The first, in 1947, was held in Czechoslovakia, and during the Cold War most host countries were aligned with the Soviet bloc.
!!!

And looky here! Czechoslovakia doesn't even exist anymore! Communism is no more in the former Eastern bloc!

Who the heck do you think organized those youth rallies??? Civic minded youth?

Funny stuff there, those guys at the Asinine Press are a bunch of characters.
