Chavez Says CNN Is Calling For His Murder

From his fans at Reuters:

Chavez: CNN may be instigating my murder

Wed Nov 28

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Wednesday CNN may have been instigating his murder when the U.S. TV network showed a photograph of him with a label underneath that read “Who killed him?”

The caption appeared to be a production mistake — confusing a Chavez news item with one on the death of a football star. The anchor said “take the image down” when he realized.

But Chavez called for a probe in an interview on state television, where he repeatedly reviewed a tape of the broadcast, questioning why the unconnected photograph and wording were left on screen for several seconds.

“I want the state prosecutor to look into bringing a suit against CNN for instigating murder in Venezuela,” he said. “… undoubtedly it is part of the psychological warfare.”

The anti-U.S. president often denounces plots to kill him without providing much detailed evidence. On Tuesday, he said a sniper trained his gun on him at a political rally this month.

Chavez has singled out CNN for biased reporting in what he says is a U.S.-sponsored campaign in the foreign media to destabilize Venezuela. CNN says its coverage is objective…

CNN certainly has a long history of what they have called “production mistakes.” Remember the X over Mr. Cheney, for example:

This, however, is probably the first one that was truly an accident. Given that CNN is on the same side as Mr. Chavez.

But, gosh, what a whiner sensitive soul Mr. Chavez is.

If he has a soul.

    Normally. I do not like CNN. But if Chavez is upset with them, I guess they can’t be 100% bad.

    Chavez always thinks someone in the USA is going to kill him. Last time around he claimed Bush was out to get him. Talk about paranoid!

    “CNN certainly has a long history of what they have called “production mistakes.” (Remember the X over Cheny, for one example.)”

    There’s been more than that one image. I just don’t think anyone ever catches the subliminal trickery actually going on. Notice how Drudge stopped talking about this issue so abruptly? Hmmmm.

    “If he has a soul.”

    SG, it appears as though Chavez sold that soul a looooong time ago! (After all he IS the one that is so obsessed with the Devil.)

    Chavez is frighteningly like Stalin in his paranoia, and if his steady appropriation of power within Venezuela continues, as it likely will, I have no doubt he will emulate Stalin in other, less pathetically amusing ways. Anybody know how to ay “gulag” in Spanish?

    I think that in an effort of reaching out to our enemies, the vice president should personally invite Mr. Chavez to his ranch in Wyoming. Maybe they could go hunting.

    Hughoo really needs to get over himself. If we wanted to we would have already taken him out. To bad the people of his country don’t do it and put him out of everyone’s way. He is just so pathetic. No one wants to waste good bullets on him. Maybe a rusty crossbow would work.
