05/13/2008: "Chavez slams Merkel as a "political descendant of Adolf Hitler""

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called German Chancellor Angela Merkel a political descendant of Adolf Hitler and German fascism.

The leftist leader, who famously called U.S. President George W. Bush "the devil" at a United Nations assembly, slammed Merkel for calling on Latin American leaders to distance themselves from Chavez.

"She is from the German right, the same that supported Hitler, that supported fascism, that's the Chancellor of Germany today," he said.

[ Speaking as a Nazi: Chavez has a lot of good points, while Merkel is a deadly traitor. Chavez is a little confused about Hitler, just as many Nazis don't see the merit in the way Chavez and Fidel Castro have stood up to globalization. ]
