Comments on: Chávez : I Will Expel Any Foreigner Who Calls me a Dictator http://poliblogger.com/?p=12284 A rough draft of my thoughts...

Turtle Bay is physically located in New York. Of course it's not really US soil. I didn't care one way or the other when Chavez made the devil comment. I found it interesting that a few powerful Democratic Senators immediately made statements that it was inappropriate, including Rangel and Pelosi ( http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/09/21/chavez.ny/ ). My point is that Chavez is fine if he has free speech, but he doesn't like the idea of others exercising the same right. > Visiting the UN to speak to the assembly is not the equivalent of going to the US.

Turtle Bay is physically located in New York. Of course it’s not really US soil.

I didn’t care one way or the other when Chavez made the devil comment. I found it interesting that a few powerful Democratic Senators immediately made statements that it was inappropriate, including Rangel and Pelosi ( http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/09/21/chavez.ny/ ).

My point is that Chavez is fine if he has free speech, but he doesn’t like the idea of others exercising the same right.

Quite different, in fact. And about the devil comment: do you think it hurt dick cheney's feelings? Mr. Lybbert,

Visiting the UN to speak to the assembly is not the equivalent of going to the US. Quite different, in fact.

And about the devil comment: do you think it hurt dick cheney’s feelings?

The "the devil was here yesterday" visit? Remind anyone of a visit to the UN? The “the devil was here yesterday” visit?
