House Majority Leader Boehner pretty much says it all - from NRO's The Corner:
Hugo Chavez is little more than a power-hungry autocrat on an anti-American public relations tour — a showboat whose speech to the United Nations was an embarrassment and an insult to the American people. That he would criticize the United States as he rolls back democratic and economic reforms in his own country is typical of the dictators who oppress their people in the name of the same ideals as the tyrants of the 20th century. While Chavez hopes for America's demise, I have faith the Venezuelan people will reject Chavez's discredited Marxism and return to the path of true reform and peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.
Tonight was Dad's night out - My wife and I take my nearly-80 year old father out for a night on the town, or as much of same as an 80 year old man can handle. As usual, Dad and I wound up playing a bit of blackjack (I won $200, Dad lost $100, but last week he won $365); as we were playing I happened to glance up and there on one of the televisions scattered about the casino (usually tuned to a sports channel of some sort), was the lunatic "President" of Iran being intereview on CNN. The sound was down, so I couldn't hear what he was saying - but, then again, who cares what he has to say? We've already heard all a sane person needs to hear from him - and from his new best buddy, Hugo Chavez.
Not since the days of Hitler and Stalin has so much evil stalked the corridors of power in our world - and not since that time have such evil men been accorded respect, even deferrence, from men and women who should know better - men and women who would be executed were these evil men to gain power over them. Today it might even be a bit worse - back in the days of Hitler and Stalin there wasn't nearly the agreement with evil among sections of the American population as there is today. Back then, we had small and noisy Nazi and Communist parties in the United States and a selection of fellow travellers for same, but the broad mass of the American people soundly rejected both men and their wicked ideologies. In 2006, I am saddened to understand that probably one in five of my fellow Americans agrees with our evil enemies that President Bush is the great threat to the world.
Why should this be? Because we've been force-fed a stead diet of anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-American, anti-Israel and anti-western civilization lies for more than half a century now. It is small wonder that after such a relentless campaign of lies that some would come to consider a lie to be the truth, and the truth to be lies - and we'll be a generation or two setting things back to reality. Meanwhile, the damage is done and our government has to go out in to the world and defend American interests - and the interests of freedom and justice in general - all the while carrying around the deadweight of Americans who think America is the enemy.

This kook--Chavez--is holding a big trump card, oil. We need to get off his customer list. However, Mark, doesn't a lot of his oil pass through our refineries?
Here's an idea for Chavez' elimination: The CIA kidnaps Cindy Sheehan, and tells her she's being repatriated to Venezuela. Before she's flown there, she's sedated. While under sedation, the CIA plants enough explosives in her nose to turn Caracas(sp?) into a parking lot. When she arrives in Venezuela, and Hugo meets her--boom!
It could work--that nose could hold a lot of boom-boom, and Cindy wouldn't even feel it...

I guess I am just horrible, I laughed all through Hugo's speech/rant to the UN. What a totally uneducated embarrassment to his country. My point was proven when he said Chomsky was dead. I also found it hilarious he went to Harlem and promised them free heating oil. This would be the same free heating oil he promised last year only to sell it to them at a 65% discount. I was very disappointed in Harlem's reaction to the dictator Chavez. They seemed to love him. I guess they must find great strength in a leader who keeps 85% of his people in poverty.
If Chavez was really the benevolent philanthropist he touts he is, he would invite Harlem to relocate to Venezuela. Chavez could put Harlem right next to the newly relocated UN.

The reaction in Harlem was simply a reaction to receiving "free" oil. Even Charles Rangle, of all people, ripped Chavez for his rediculous showboating and insane rants againt Bush.

Chavez is this generation’s Castro.
Much like Castro was the Stalin of their parents’ generation.
Fidel is not immortal, and Stalin is a long lost memory of Marxists and US Leftists, so this generation has adopted Chavez.
Chavez’ insults and behavior appeal to the Left and the ignorant, simply because they are anti-US/anti-Bush. They do not care about the real conditions and freedoms of his people, because if they did they would see a man who is far far worse than their perceptions of GWB.
The left cries about election ‘fraud’, but they ignore the fraud in Chavez’ ‘election’ (Blessed by Jimmy Carter, the number one enabler of tinpot dictators). Can the average Venezuelan publically protest the Chavez government without fear of reprisals? Only in the imaginations of the Left. (Like Castro’s Cuba’s prisons are filled only with criminal, no political prisoners.)
Chavez will continue to be wined and dined, and cheered on by academics and far-Left ‘journalists’; much like Castro was in his time, and like the Stalinists were in theirs.
When Chavez has lost power, either by Father Time or one of his minions wanting a quick promotion, the Left will have found another anti-US dictator to drool over.

Sad isn't it, Parker? What's even more sad is that blacks don't inherently feel entitled to "free" stuff. The entitlement mentality has been conditioned into them by Liberal Democrats over several generations. I think you're finally starting to see the pendulum begin to swing back the other way, but it's going to take several more generations before the can-do, entrepreneurial spirit pervades the black community. School choice would help.

I'd love to comment, but I thought, you ignore everything I say. You just carry on. In your post you explain how you think you know everything so you don't have to listen to anyone.
You also carry on like no one has ever beaten your arguements. I've noticed this when Republicans are TV and debating, the Republican will shut down like a robot, or it's only thing they can to to be insulting, as the voice of truth is speaking. I've seen Republicans hold their head in their laps while someone from the real world is speaking, and then carry on like no one else ever spoke when it's their time to talk. You seem to have that same deficiency.
