The  bêtes noires of the far left - the US and Israel - have rushed to bring aid to earthquake-devastated Haiti. So it won’t come as a surprise to learn that the counter-attack against these imperialist dogs has begun, led by Hugo Chavez.

Speaking on his weekly television rant, “Alo Presidente,” Chavez claimed that the real goal of the US was the military occupation of Haiti. Addressing President Obama with the racist pejorative “chico” - “boy” - he issued the following instruction: “Obama, send doctors, boy. Do you understand me? Send doctors, rescue workers, medicine, water, instead of sending soldiers.” (Click on the “shotlist” tab in the previous link to see this quote.)

One pressing matter which Chavez didn’t address is the punishing debt of $167 million which Haiti owes to Venezuela. Last July, the Paris Club agreed to cancel $214 million of Haitian debt, but no similar announcement has been forthcoming from Caracas, even after the earthquake. Perhaps Chavez has earmarked those funds for Hamas.

Eamonn McDonagh adds:

That’s not the half of it. According to this story in ABC he’s now accusing the USA of actually having deliberately caused the quake. And why would the US do a thing like that? It’s all part of a plot to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran by means of an earthquake attack. I kid you not.

El Comandante is showing increasing signs of not being right in the head.
