during Q&A, several liberals in the audience came at McAuliffe from
the left, giving him the chance to burnish his nutroots credentials. He
took the opportunity and ran with it. One asked him why the US is so
unpopular with Hugo Chavez, prompting McAuliffe’s BDS affliction to
come out in full glory. Keep in mind that Chavez is turning all of
Venezuela into an armed camp as he cozies up to the Iranian mullahs and
turns himself into a clone of Fidel Castro. Keep in mind that Chavez
calls himself an enemy of the US, and keep in mind that Chavez
currently rules Venezuela by dictatorial decree as he nationalizes (a
fancy way of saying “steals”) private companies. Keep in mind that
Chavez was kept in power, in all likelihood, by a sham election
certified real by Jimmy Carter. Keeping all of that in mind, McAuliffe actually blamed Chavez’s actions and attitudes on George W. Bush.
Which, if he’s being logically consistent, means Castro is entirely the fault of John F. Kennedy.
