Taking a break from a redesign of the Venezuelan flag, leftist boss man Hugo Chavez is basking in glory as the host to the World Social Forum. Just as he is changing the flag to depict the horse on the seal moving to the left as opposed to the right, all of his guests this week are firmly on the left.
The World Social Forum is in it’s sixth year and is a collection of Communists and Socialists from around the world who’s primary purpose is to gather in a South American country and hurl insults at the United States. As the Russian newspaper, Pravda, reported a few years back, the WSF is “not a forum of Communists, but a forum of ideals shared wholeheartedly by the Communists.”
This year’s celebrity American leftist is none other than Cindy Sheehan who will go anywhere, associate with anyone and do anything to smear the country that has afforded her the freedom to continually broadcast her particular brand of hatred. Praising Chavez, Sheehan said, “I admire him for his resolve against my government and its meddling.” What Sheehan means is that anyone who will join her in her rant against America is to be admired.
I can’t help wondering if Sheehan would be accusing the United States of “meddling” if her son, Casey, had been an office worker killed in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center instead of as a soldier killed in action.
