Chavez on Obama at the UN: Can you smell the hope?
posted at 7:08 pm on September 24, 2009 by Allahpundit
We don’t call him the Evil Clown for nothing.
Chavez spent the first 20 minutes of his speech asserting that a revolution is under way in South America and promoting an Oliver Stone film that depicts his life as well as other South American leaders.
He then began taking political shots at his former rival.
Chavez joked that he hoped no one would throw a shoe at him, a reference to Bush ducking at a shoe hurled at him during a visit to Iraq last year, and laughed that he thought the Cuban official at his U.N. desk was preparing to remove his shoes.
Best part of this clip: Susan Rice shaking her head in disapproval, as if the hope/sulfur comparison wasn’t the entire subtext of Obama’s campaign and isn’t precisely the point of his repulsive treatment of Honduras for daring to boot the autocratic Chavista scumbag in their midst. Cowboy unilateralist George Bush would have antagonized Latin American tyrants by standing behind Micheletti, ergo Obama must stand against him. That’s Hopenchange for you, baby. Smell it.

Can you smell the hope?
If not? Pull my finger…

Can you smell the hope?
Sorry, Little dictator boy; that sure ain’t hope I’m smelling from here…
Fuzzlenutter on September 24, 2009 at 7:10 PM
I can not watch this freak. The whole UN is just so bizarre. I mean, the Iranians, Gaddafi, and this guy.
Bibi is right to ask if they have no shame.
Terrye on September 24, 2009 at 7:10 PM
I still smell sulphur….

Should have shot him when they coup-coup’d him.

This punk epitomizes everything that is wrong with the UN.
The “world community”, hah!
SteveMG on September 24, 2009 at 7:13 PM
Chavez or Obama?
farright on September 24, 2009 at 7:14 PM
He will have plenty of time smelling the sulphur in the future.
fourdeucer on September 24, 2009 at 7:14 PM
something tells me that we’ll come to blows with Chavez sooner or later.
DrW on September 24, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Chavez: I smell-
(from crowd) – “YOU SURE DO!”
Orange Doorhinge on September 24, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Ya Hugo, don’t smell like sulfur, now that you’re up there it smells like $hit!
GarandFan on September 24, 2009 at 7:15 PM
Just watched Chevez rant about Fox News
Sounded like Carter + Gerafolo , in Spanish

Hey, Allahpundit! You posted in headlines that Michael Moore ate a small polish boy. Fix your link

Hee Haw has nothing on the idiots speaking at the UN this week.
Chuck Schick on September 24, 2009 at 7:18 PM
These crackpots are the real life embodiment of the “kids at the candy store” cliche. They are positively giddy about their good fortune and don’t even have the ability to restrain their joy.
stldave on September 24, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Just like they dragged Mussolini through the streets and ended up hanging his dead carcass by his feet, one day the people of Venezuela will make sure the same thing happens to this pompously evil assclown.
pilamaye on September 24, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Maybe during the Palin administration.
farright on September 24, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Think about it people . . . the dirtiest, slimiest, murderous despots and dictators on this earth are all giving praise to Obama. If you’re not very scared then you just don’t understand the problem.
rplat on September 24, 2009 at 7:19 PM
A circus of freaks. Qaddafi, Ahmadinejad and Chavez. I can’t figure out who is worse. But is there anyone more thuggish than Chavez?
Urban Infidel on September 24, 2009 at 7:20 PM
A lot of things will be smellin without toilet paper.

Terrye on September 24, 2009 at 7:22 PM
rplat- Exactly. You took the words out of my mouth. They love Obama, well Ahmadinejad maybe not as much, but yes they do. They are symbiotic. Infatuated. They would recognize each other in the dark.
Urban Infidel on September 24, 2009 at 7:23 PM
I smell pu… err… cat. Unfortunately, so do Hugo, Kim, Mahdi and Vlady.
Jorge Bonilla on September 24, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Can you smell what Barack is cookin?
Oh wait … that’s what some tough guy says.
ColumbusConservative on September 24, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Is that in the new movie?
theTarCzar on September 24, 2009 at 7:25 PM
Chavez seems to love Obama almost as much as Mussolini loved Hitler, maybe even more.
MB4 on September 24, 2009 at 7:26 PM
How does Obama lay his head on a pillow at night and sleep knowing this toolbag is on his side?
Oh wait, that was the American in me asking that…
Needsta switch on my inner marxist and see it through Venezuela’s eyes…..ok, there it is.. I got it now.

Wow, who knew “hope” smells like dog droppings… apparently “change” smells more like horse droppings.

I smell a communist pigs from across the Hudson River: Chavez, Obama, and others.

Obviously, b.o. stinks.
Didn’t the nutbar from Libya call Obummer “son”? Man, 3 1/2 more years of this crap.
Lightswitch on September 24, 2009 at 7:27 PM
You can judge a man by the people who like and say good things about him.Enough said Mr.President
thmcbb on September 24, 2009 at 7:28 PM
stuff like this, if the media would play it often, should make obama’s popularity plummet
jp on September 24, 2009 at 7:28 PM
I never saw obama quite as comfortable and happy with a foreign leader ,as he was with chavez.Disturbing.
theTarCzar on September 24, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Well I for one do not want the brand of hope Chavez finds appealing.
amkun on September 24, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Call me crazy, but my gut tells me that line by the Little Bolivaran elicited extended and hardy, if private, belly laughs among WH staffers, who either spoke out loud or thought to themselves “Tell it, Hugo.”
I bet my last donut on it.
Mike D. on September 24, 2009 at 7:29 PM
What is more troubling, perhaps, is how at home Obama seemed to be with all of them.
TXUS on September 24, 2009 at 7:30 PM
If “hope” smells like fecal material, then, yep, I smell “hope”.

Chavez needs to be stepped on before he can become a real threat, not only to his immediate neighbours but also to North America as well. Especially in light of his increasingly close relationship with Iran and its Theocratic dictatorship.
Given their close ties it does not take much to envision a time when we will see a Venezuela being armed by Iran with medium to long range ballistic missiles fitted with nuclear warheads. If that happens I wonder how the likes of Penn and Oliver Stone will reconcile the fact that they helped legitimise Chavez and helped enable him to become the biggest direct threat to the Continental United States since Cuban Missile crisis.

Nicely done!
JetBoy on September 24, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Though I’ve been pi$$ed at Levin lately for his pettiness with Beck, tonight he really nailed it. After today at the UN, Obama is no longer the leader of the Free World. After today, the leader of the Free World is Bibi Netanyahu !
petefrt on September 24, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Obama sure has friends in low places.
Khadafi: “He (Obama) is our son”
portlandon on September 24, 2009 at 7:35 PM
People keep telling me how a horrible Bush was. However, the fact that he drove tyrants like Chavez crazy has to say something right?
terryannonline on September 24, 2009 at 7:36 PM
The evidence indicates that you are correct.
rplat on September 24, 2009 at 7:37 PM
On a side note, the Times has a new poll up with a reporting slant that is even worse by their normal standards.
Party id:
Most laughable part:
Repubs 22 Dems 37 Ind 33
rob verdi on September 24, 2009 at 7:37 PM
Not to mention that the Obama people seem to show a nuanced and deep sympathy for Chavismo.

In Kenyanese, “obama” means “son of khadafi”
In some dialects, however, it means “son of chavez”

O/T BUT…has anyone read about this? OMG…

Kudos to Levin. It captures the heart of millions of us. I’m betting/hoping Rush will pick it up tomorrow and pound it relentlessly.

The video missed the part where Kanye West jumped to the podium and grabbed the mic and declared “Qaddafi gave the best UN speech of ALL TIME! of ALL TIME!”

Hey Allah,
Can you dig up more on this or is this all there is?…for now.
jerrytbg on September 24, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Do you smell what Barack is cooking? :P
Bosox04 on September 24, 2009 at 7:50 PM
That’s because deep down inside they are just as autocratic and tyrannical as Chavez is and long to be able to wield the sort of power and control over people that he does.
Hellrider on September 24, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Let’s see, Obama receives high praise from:
Hollywood
Socialist Hugo Chavez
Socialist Fidel Castro
Terrorist leader Qaddafi
Marxist domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and wife Dohrn
Communist,9/11 truther,and cop killer supporter Van Jones
Colombian Marxist terrorist group FARC.
Marxist group code pink.
Communist party Chief USA Sam Webb.
Corrupt activist group ACORN.
Corrupt fund raiser Tony Rezko.
Frank Marshall Davis..Obama mentor,communist,and child rapist.
Rev.(God Dam# America) Wright..Obama’s moral compass and pastor of the black separatist church Obama attended for 20 years.
As the saying goes…you are judged by the company you keep.
Baxter Greene on September 24, 2009 at 7:54 PM
I thought we were discussing Chavez and not Michael Moore.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on September 24, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Well, B. Hussein just wants what Khadaffi wants, to be President for Life of the US.
He deserves it. Michelle deserves it. And when he dies, Michelle or one of the daughters can take over. But, like all tin pot dictatorships, eventually they will turn on each other and the dynasty will…die nasty.
(sorry about that, it’s been a humorless day)

I smell something alright….coming out of his mouth!!
Let’s see…….all the dictators/tyrants of the world are praising Obama. Our enemies love our American president.
hmmmm, now could it be because he is day by day dismantling all that made America great?
Who really does talk to Obama on that “secure” Blackberry?

The only thing that would have made Chavez’s speech even more gooderer would have been if he had stood up their and joined Zelaya’s claim and said the evil Jews were also beaming electromagnetic waves into his brain.
jon1979 on September 24, 2009 at 9:33 PM
If you need a laugh, this is hysterical, from the NYPOST
Translator collapsed during Khadafy’s rambling diatribe:
After struggling to turn Khadafy’s insane ramblings at the UN into English for 75 minutes, the Libyan dictator’s personal interpreter got lost in translation.
“I just can’t take it any more,” Khadafy’s interpreter shouted into the live microphone – in Arabic.
At that point, the U.N.’s Arabic section chief, Rasha Ajalyaqeen, took over and translated the final 20 minutes of the speech.
“His interpreter just collapsed – this is the first time I have seen this in 25 years,” another U.N. Arabic interpreter told The Post.

What I smell is going to take a team of men with shovels and a slop cart to remove.
Vashta.Nerada on September 24, 2009 at 10:46 PM
That’s a stretch, AP. I think it’s much more plausible that Obama supports Zelaya based on ideological grounds than an anti-Bush reflex as you suggest. If you were right, Obama would do everything the opposite of Bush, but hasn’t.
There’s simply no reasonable way around the fact that Obama seems very comfortable with Tyranny; even promoting/supporting it as he has with Zelaya and Ahmadinejad.
FloatingRock on September 24, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Chavez, you are an illustration of the banality of evil.
