Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi said:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
One of President George W. Bush's fiercest political opponents at home took his side on Thursday, calling Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez a "thug" for his remark that Bush is like the devil.

"Hugo Chavez fancies himself a modern day Simon Bolivar but all he is an everyday thug," House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said at a news conference, referring to Chavez' comments in a U.N. General Assembly speech on Wednesday.

"Hugo Chavez abused the privilege that he had, speaking at the United Nations," said Pelosi, a frequent Bush critic. "He demeaned himself and he demeaned Venezuela"

Charles Rangel said:

AN ATTACK ON BUSH IS AN ATTACK ON ALL AMERICANS.
'You do not come into my country, my congressional district, and you do not condemn my president. If there is any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not.

I just want to make it abundantly clear to Hugo Chavez or any other president, but do not come to the United States and think because we have problems with our president that any foreigner can come to our country and not think that Americans do not feel offended when you offend our Chief of State'.

What is your opinion on these developments?

Sometimes we have to put politics aside, and stick up for the President of our country. Who the hell does that idiot think he is anyway? :hothead: I don't think they understand that Americans will always stick together when we are being attacked!!!

I think it shows a lot of character when people can stand up for someone who they may not neccesarily agree with.

I am not a Bush supporter and I didn't know anything about this until now. But I tend to think that anyone publicly bashing someone is wrong.

I have to say that I pretty much agree with this. I think that it just made Chavez look bad.
