MSNBC“Don’t mess with me Condoleezza. Don’t mess with me, girl,” Chavez said during his weekly Sunday broadcast, sarcastically offering her a kiss and jokingly referring to her as “Condolence.”
The warning comes days after Rice described Venezuela as one of the “biggest problems” for the Western Hemisphere and promised to develop regional alliances as part of an “inoculation” strategy to expose what the State Department calls anti-democratic behavior in Venezuela.
Chavez, a former soldier turned populist leader, has promised to create socialist revolution in Venezuela and promote regional integration in Latin America to roll back U.S.-supported economic reforms.
The State Department says Chavez is using the nation’s bountiful oil wealth to meddle in the affairs of neighboring countries, and has slammed him for boosting ties to U.S. foes like Cuba and Iran.
From another article:
BBC NewsVenezuela's President Hugo Chavez is one of the biggest dangers facing Latin America, Washington has said.
US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice said Mr Chavez was trying to influence others away from democracy, and called for a united front against him.
President Chavez responded by accusing the US of aggression, saying "world opinion is with Venezuela".
Addressing a congressional hearing on Thursday, Ms Rice accused Mr Chavez of leading a "Latin brand of populism that has taken countries down the drain".
"brand of populism that has taken countries down the drain"
Condolense should check the books again. Maybe she was looking at the U.S. books under the current WH? Venezuela has a multi-billion dollar surplus that it is investing internally.

So starts the propaganda to demonize Venezuala as a national threat. People are so damn afraid of socialism because they are so damn in love with money.

Oh, it's been going on for along time. Venezuela's rich are as right as they are here, even more so, and they would love to lead another coupt' against Chavez with the aid of the U.S...
Oh yes, lets have another Socialist dictator. Everyone knows they are so
wonderful, just look what Castro has done for Cuba. He is now going to
change the cons ution there so he can stay in office.....yeah, he such a nice
guy.
Chavez is an idiot with an ego that is a bit too big for his britches...
Russia Attacks from our west
the middle eastern enemies from our east
and now venenzuela from the south
............... i see another WW in the making.....
We are in one now, in case you don't know. Have been since 9/11.
Most of it is unseen. Especially to the dimm-o-craps and supporters.
There are already 7 war fronts involving U.S troops in the war on terror. It's alarming that we have not ins uted a draft.
So, my friends, let's just junk those Dumbocrats and their bleeding-heart smellfare program.
I've said it once and I will say it a million times.
Chavez is an Idiot (capital I).
Americans supporting Chavez simply boggles my mind.
You should try living under socialism. Not fun, I tell ya.

That I can agree with.
your preaching to the free.
It doesn't really matter what WE think. He is popular with his people.
Something to think about. If there WERE a model under which socialism could work, it would be in a country with a money tree, i.e. oil exports.
50% of the country loves him, 50% hates him. Not sure that is the best definition of "popularity".
I would say the breakdown is closer to 70% like versus 30% dislike. Just happens that the 30% dislike own most of the money (assets).
Dan... nevermind. Yet again you comment on you have ABSOLUTELY no clue about. Ever lived under a socialist regime, on such as Chavez? You think Venezuela's economy is booming?? THEY PRODUCE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! All of Venezuela's money comes from oil. Right now, everyone's happy because oil prices are sky high, but wait 'till the prices go down, and they will. Chavez is going to have a hard time explaining to his "voters" that he flushed the country down the toilet.
You're as ignorant as they come, and the worst part is you actually think you know .Incredible
Condi will strap on her black high heel boots and step on his n chicken neck throat.
Then she will bite off his head and down his neck...
Socialism is fine, in some areas. Dont let Chavez be your posterboy for socialism.
Chavez isn't socialist for christ sake, he is a populist. That means he has no "right or wrong" moral, or "left or right" ideas, everything he does is to keep and build power.
His rhetoric is based on Latin American independency, a strong anti-US posture, and communist social and economical politics. Of course in the real world he sells oil to the best offer no matter where the money comes from, as any capitalist would do.
My bad, you're exactly right, he's not a socialist, he is a populist
^^He is a Socialist, and a racist too by American standards. Referring to
Ms. Rice as "girl". Like calling a black man: boy. He is a tin horn dictator in the
making.
WELL SAID !!!! ....but 'ol Dan ain't gonna like it.Dan... nevermind. Yet again you comment on you have ABSOLUTELY no clue about. Ever lived under a socialist regime, on such as Chavez?
