Easy. He was worried they'd screw up his weapons cache.

I've been expecting this sort of thing in Venezuela for a long time now. I'm almost surprised it's taken this long.

The attack smells, the arrest smell, something is fishy about the whole thing smells.

And how long before they are quietly released?

Hugo has been aligning himself with the Iranians. What the hell did he think was going to happen?

Hate speech breeds violence.

It's very simple, he thinks he has room for some quid pro Quobama, he's probably gonna try to play nice awhile. On top of that elections are coming up, he doesn't want to stir up political groups against the vote on his perpetual presidency.

Little fish fry to keep big fish out of the fire.

I think the zionist conspiracy threatened to drive the price of oil below $10/barrel and keep it there for as long as it took to kill him.

Hugo's petro-empire is in the early stages of collapse. If oil prices stay low, there is bound to be a coup in the country as the social services dry up and folks get angry. Maybe this was a way to appease a segment of the population?

They must be liberal Jews who moved from NYC to what they thought was an ideal government. That's the only reason I could come up with to counter the fact that some Jews still remain there.

Jews had very few problems living in Venezuela until Chavez came along. In fact, Cuba was a significant refuge for Jews after WWII. Cuba welcomed Jews. Then Castro (they are both the same) decided to join Chavez in licking Iran's feet. Castro and Chavez are pro-Hezziebolah, pro-Hamas and thus, both get a thrill out of pissing on the Palestinians to make them attach Israel.

If someone really wanted to get to the Rabbi and the Synagogue; what better way than to discredit the major security personnel by framing them. Once the election is over, the 'peoples court' can rid the land of the Jewish threat to their 'democracy'.

I'd advise visas.
Swiftly.

In a disappointing article today, the WaPo wrote about the travails of South America's Jews. The problems is that it framed the antisemitism as a reaction to Israel's war against Hamas. In truth, as a recent article in Commentary showed, Chavez's antisemitism has been part of his ideology since he came to power.

Also remember that Chavez lost a similar referendum a little more than a year ago. Apparently he'll keep trying until he's successful.

Stupidity breeds violence. I've read Mein Kampf. I have never harmed or wanted to harm a Jew. I've read the Qur'an. I have not submitted to Islam. Why? Because I'm not stupid enough to buy into their messages. I could listen to Nazi propaganda all day and it would not have the slightest affect on me except for increasing my loathing of Nazis.

The concept of "Hate Speech" is pernicious as is the concept of "Hate Crimes". What's next; "Hate Thought"? Who decides? You? Me?

I'll take unfettered freedom of expression warts and all over locking someone up (or worse) for opening their mouth.

Venezuela has over 30% inflation and cannot pay its bills. Poor people will start hurting within two months from now. Already those few outside industries that do business with Venezuela are planning their departure. Of course, the Chavista millionaires will not go away but their money will be in Florida or Europe not in Venezuelan Bolivars.

It's George H W's dream of a new world order.

Democratic Congressman have proposed a new public transportation system for themselves. Its called PORK AND RIDE.

Hugo Chavez heard about it and told the press he personally would PORK it in a way no US president could.

CAIR immediately condemned it saying anything with PORK is anti-Islamic.

Amendinajad said Iran does not have PORK but would develop PORK for domestic uses only.

Obama said he wants to eliminate PORK, because chicken is healthier.

Whether the arrests are truly the work of police who care about justice, or whether they're politically motivated acts of terror, we'll probably never know in our lifetimes. That's why Chavez is such toe cheese. Even if does an occasional good deed or not, nobody would ever expect it or believe it. THAT'S how bad he is.

And once again, there is this awful confusion between being Jewish and being Israeli. Too many try too damned hard to tie the two together. And we do just the opposite: We bend over backwards and contort ourselves in to ridiculous levels of tolerance for anti-Western behavior, just so that we don't appear to be un-friendly to Islam. And they don't believe us anyway.

We might as well stop trying and get busy doing what seems inevitable: fight them.

Switzerland's Foreign Ministry said Monday that it recalled a Swiss diplomat from Teheran because of an alleged incident with his Iranian girlfriend.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Jean Philippe Jutzi said the diplomat, who headed the Swiss Embassy's section for US interests, left Teheran last month after the "regretful incident."

Jutzi declined to comment Monday on allegations by Iranian media that sexual relations with the woman led to the temporary arrest of the diplomat.

Daily Jomhuri-e-Eslami reported Saturday the Swiss diplomat was arrested in north Teheran while doing "unlawful acts in a car." But according to Mehr news agency, Iranian police denied the detention.

Stupidity breeds violence. I've read Mein Kampf. I have never harmed or wanted to harm a Jew. I've read the Qur'an. I have not submitted to Islam. Why? Because I'm not stupid enough to buy into their messages. I could listen to Nazi propaganda all day and it would not have the slightest affect on me except for increasing my loathing of Nazis.

The concept of "Hate Speech" is pernicious as is the concept of "Hate Crimes". What's next; "Hate Thought"? Who decides? You? Me?

I'll take unfettered freedom of expression warts and all over locking someone up (or worse) for opening their mouth.

There's a line from an old Steppenwolf song that's stuck with me all these years: "They got a right to say it wrong if Freedom's to survive..."

I have to agree with this one. People are allowed to sound like idiots and we have the right to tell them they are idiots.

Nice... you can get pretty good squid on a stick in Chinatown for a buck a pop. The beak is already removed.

I worked for a company with customers in Venezuela, and have many friends in that country. I traveled there frequently. Being "arrested" in Venezuela does not mean the same thing as in the USA. Unless and until those arrested are convicted AND jailed, this means nothing. The process in Venezuela can take years, if not eons, and sometimes never arrived at a conclusion. the "suspects" can go merrily on their way, doing everything except (possibly) leaving the country. Moreover, if the suspects are tries and found "not guilty", that closes the door on re-charging them if/when Chavez is no longer in power. I seriously doubt that this "arrest" means anything.

Beck has been increasingly maniacal lately. A couple of nights ago, I tuned him in for a few minutes and he was raving about civil war in Texas after the drug cartels take over Mexico and millions of Mexican refugees flee to Texas. At one point, he declared that the feds would be no help and Texas would have to take action on its own.

How long do you think Texas will put up with this while Obambi runs around Camp David?

Just as government officials had feared, the drug violence raging in Mexico is spilling over into the United States.

U.S. authorities are reporting a spike in killings, kidnappings and home invasions connected to Mexico's murderous cartels. And to some policymakers' surprise, much of the violence is happening not in towns along the border, where it was assumed the bloodshed would spread, but a considerable distance away, in places such as Phoenix and Atlanta.

Oddly enough, 1988 came and went.

So, while I won't down-ding you, I'd also tell you not to be silly.

Organizing for America
My Name Redacted --

Americans have organized Economic Recovery House Meetings in all 50 states -- including 382 in California, 255 in Florida, 115 in Ohio, 199 in New York, 105 in Washington, and 149 in Texas.

That's more than 3,587 meetings in 1,579 cities and 429 congressional districts.

This past weekend, meeting hosts and guests watched a video of Governor Tim Kaine answering your questions about the president's recovery plan. Then they shared their own stories about how the crisis has affected them.

Watch Governor Kaine's video and share your economic crisis story.

Watch the video

The media is filled with numbers about the economic crisis. But the numbers do not tell the full story.

The story of this crisis is in homes across the country -- homes where a family member has lost a job, where parents are struggling to pay a mortgage, and where college tuition has slipped out of reach.

That's also where the story of our recovery begins -- in communities where repairing roads and bridges, manufacturing green technologies, and rehabilitating our schools and hospitals will directly impact the lives of ordinary people and their families.

President Obama's recovery plan will help struggling families right now by saving or creating up to 4 million jobs. But it will also help strengthen our economy for the future by investing in crucial infrastructure projects in health care, education, and energy.

Share your story about how this economic crisis is affecting you and your family and join your fellow Americans in supporting bold action to speed our recovery:
