Hugo Chavez continues with his insults toward America.
The former soldier and self-styled revolutionary is favored in the polls to beat rival Manuel Rosales after building a solid political base through a social development campaign financed by oil revenues.
Chavez supporters flooded Caracas thoroughfares waving flags and banners, congregating in different parts of the downtown a day after Rosales sympathizers held a similar march to close his campaign in the capital city.
“We are confronting the devil, and we will hit a home run off the devil next Sunday,” said Chavez, who ruffled feathers in October by calling President Bush the devil in remarks at the United Nations.
“On December 3 we’re going to defeat the most powerful empire on earth by knockout,” Chavez said.
Donning red like most of his supporters, Chavez delivered a two-hour speech marked by his signature combination of fiery leftist rhetoric and crowd antics typical of pop music concerts.
Wow! Reuters paints this guy up like a rock star! Many Venezuelans disagree. Supporters of Venezuela's opposition leader Manuel Rosales attend a rally in Caracas, Venezuela, Saturday, Nov. 25, 2006. Even though Chavez blocked all the roads to the city in an attempt to deter the Rosales rally it had little effect. The rally turned out to be the largest protest ever held in Venezuela and all in support of Manuel Rosales.
The Venezuelan vote will be held Dec 3rd. Pray that this oppressive dictator gets ousted.
