If Chavez decides to bloviate on the air for 1 hour or 6 hours it’s up to him.</p><p>He’s known for making unpredictable and rash decisions while on the air. During his most recent episode of “Alo, Presidente,” Chavez decried golfers. He’s long demonized the game of golf calling it “bourgeoisie.”</p><p>Now Chavez has decided to just up and <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-10-31/chavez-says-venezuela-s-golf-courses-should-be-seized-put-to-other-uses.html" target="_blank">seize golf courses</a>.</p><blockquote><p>“That’s an injustice &#8212; that someone should have the luxury of having I don’t know how many hectares to play golf and drink whiskey and, next door, there’s misery and children dying when there are landslides,” Chavez said during his weekly television show, “Alo, Presidente.”</p></blockquote><p>Marxism at its finest. That guy over there has too much so we’re going to take his stuff and give it that other guy who doesn’t have as much.</p><p>I’ve actually watched a few episodes of “Alo, Presidente” and it’s pretty funny. By that I mean watching a crazy man with ADD ramble on about anything and everything. He peppers whatever’s he’s talking about with shout-out’s to Fidel Castro. It’s easier to laugh at Chavez when you don’t have to live under his rule.</p><p>Here’s a <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/hugochavez/" target="_blank">PBS Frontline</a> documentary from 2008 about Chavez’s TV show:</p><p> <iframe style="padding-bottom: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; overflow: hidden; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" height="366" src="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/v/?id=frol02s17c1q54f&amp;w=514&amp;h=366" frameborder="0" width="514" type="text/html" scrollbars="none"></iframe></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/11/01/hugo-chavez-to-seize-golf-courses-in-venezuela/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Sean Penn: Reporters Who Call Chavez &#8216;Dictator&#8217; Should Be Jailed</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/03/08/sean-penn-reporters-who-call-chavez-dictator-should-be-jailed/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/03/08/sean-penn-reporters-who-call-chavez-dictator-should-be-jailed/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:04:56 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Celebrity News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Entertainment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Celebrities]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dictators]]></category> <category><![CDATA[hollywood leftists]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hugo Chavez]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sean Penn]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/03/08/sean-penn-reporters-who-call-chavez-dictator-should-be-jailed/</guid> <description><![CDATA[You can always count on Sean Penn to say something dumb.

The murderous Mullahs of the Islamo-Nazi regime in Iran were allowed to suppress demonstrators and steal an election while president Obama said nothing.</p><p>I actually thought in the beginning his measured approach to the protests was probably the right thing to do, but I think he should have become more forceful sooner. However, his Iranian response is certainly a matter for debate and many opposing views on the subject have merit.</p><p>Obama’s response to Honduras is a different matter. There is only one side to this issue and the president is clearly on the wrong side.</p><p>Unlike with Iran, it only took hours for Obama to take to the airwaves and condemn the ouster of would-be Honduran dictator Manuel Zelaya. He called the ouster “illegal” and demanded that Zelaya be put back in power.</p><p>Here’s <a href="http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/honduran-president-overthrown-new-leader-voted-in-20090629-d1fb.html" target="_blank">why he was removed</a> and why it was actually the most beautiful display of democracy ever seen in that part of the world:</p><p>President Zelaya is an ally of Hugo Chavez. Zelaya borrowed a page from the Chavez playbook in Venezuela by ordering a referendum on removing presidential term limits.</p><p>The Supreme Court of Honduras ruled the referendum unconstitutional and it was opposed by the congress and many in Zelaya’s own party. The Supreme Court said it’s flat out unconstitutional to hold such a referendum.</p><p>Zelaya didn’t give a damn what the Supreme Court said and ordered the referendum to be held anyway.</p><p>The high court then ordered the military and police not to participate in the referendum since it’s illegal. Zelaya then fired the top military chief and the defense minister when they refused to participate.</p><p>The Supreme Court reinstated both men and Zelaya promptly fired them a second time. He vowed to press on with his referendum and hold a vote Sunday.</p><p>On Sunday, just before dawn the situation came to a head. After the congress voted unanimously to remove Zelaya for “repeated violations of the constitution and the law” &#8212; the military was ordered to remove him.</p><p>He was seized from his bed with his family and placed on a plane to Costa Rica still wearing his pajamas.</p><p>The military could have taken over as they often do in that part of the world, but they did not. Immediately, the member of congress next in line to the president was sworn in.

Columbia was finally fortunate enough to kill some of the vicious FARC terrorists that they&#8217;ve been battling for years and Hugo Chavez thinks it was a &#8220;<a href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080306/D8V7MANG1.html" target="_blank">war crime</a>.&#8221;</p><p>Although <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080305/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/colombia_farc_laptop" target="_blank">new information</a> that Columbia has made public in the last couple of days may help to explain the bizarre reaction of Venezuela&#8217;s tyrant. Columbian authorities are claiming that a laptop plucked from the remains of one of the dead terrorists shows that Hugo Chavez has been a FARC &#8220;sugar daddy&#8221; for quite some time now.</p><p>The documents on the laptop reveal that Chavez has been a financial backer of the group for more than a decade, and at one point gave FARC a $300 million dollar gift. The documents also reveal an ongoing plan cooked up by Chavez and the leaders of the terror group to isolate and undermine Columbia&#8217;s President and U.S. ally, Alvaro Uribe.</p><p>President Uribe is the first leader of Columbia in decades that&#8217;s not up to his eyeballs in corruption and is actually angry that Columbia has the highest kidnapping rate in the world. With the help of the U.S., Uribe is hoping to wipe out FARC once and for all.</p><p>The recovered laptop reveals detailed communications between FARC leaders and Chavez, in which multiple scenarios are laid out to hopefully get rid of President Uribe.</p><p>Hopefully, someone will have Hugo Chavez killed so that we can be rid of this petty dictator. If he&#8217;s allowed to live he will destroy Venezuela and live to a ripe old age just like his best friend Fidel Castro.</p><p><em>-Chris Jones </em></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/03/06/chavez-calls-the-killing-of-farc-rebels-by-columbia-a-war-crime/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Columbia Says Chavez Is Funding FARC Rebels</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/03/03/columbia-says-chavez-is-funding-farc-rebels/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/03/03/columbia-says-chavez-is-funding-farc-rebels/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 04 Mar 2008 04:28:10 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[World News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Columbia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corruption]]></category> <category><![CDATA[FARC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hugo Chavez]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Venezuela]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/03/03/columbia-says-chavez-is-funding-farc-rebels/</guid> <description><![CDATA[From the AP: Venezuela and Ecuador sought Monday to make Colombia pay a high price for killing a leftist rebel leader in the Ecuadorean jungle—expelling its diplomats, ordering troops to the border and cracking down on trade across the border.
