Chavez’s gay-baiting successor

Hugo Chavez’s anointed successor as president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, will stand for election next month against Henrique Capriles, who lost to the terminally-ill Chavez last October.

Supposedly socialist chavistas attacked Capriles– an unmarried straight Catholic– as a gay Jew.

But Chavez had enough sense not to suggest these things himself– unlike Maduro.

Unacceptable words of Maduro “I am one that likes women and yes, I have children”. Someone from the left would never say such a thing.

If Capriles was gay, this would be no less disgusting. I await the excuses from gay chavistas.

Expect also an antisemitic barrage against Capriles (whose mother was Jewish but who identifies as Catholic) in the coming days.
