Some followers of former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez truly view the deceased politician as a god.

...

Our Chávez, who art in heaven, in the earth, in the sea and in ourselves -- the delegates -- hallowed be thy name, give to us your legacy to take to the people both here and far away … Give us today your light, so that it may lead us every day. Don’t let us fall into the temptation of capitalism, but deliver us from the evil of the oligarchy and the crime of contraband because for us is the fatherland, peace and life, forever and ever.

Oh, wow, this is now reaching North Korea levels of cult of personality. And look how well THOSE guys are doing. Hope this isn't the beginning of a Latin American equivalent of NK.

1. Oh, for sure! Run amuck, waving those arms, screaming like banshees. Hellzapoppin'.

Another propaganda crapfest from the author, who works for Fox News Latino. Smooth.

Such an honorable, prestigious career. Fox News has never been known to constantly lie about everything, like a cluster of filthy, stupid, racist scumbags.

2. Are you denying the claim? Because there's video evidence to support it...

3. "Evidence"? Evidence of the CRIME? Whooooooo. So scary. That does it, throw her in prison.

But first, shoot her full of holes the way the Venezuelan oligarchs like to treat leftists in the country they imagine they own.

Evidence! Oddest idea I've ever heard.

Off with her head.

4. Alright, here it is

I don't know, anytime they try to elevate a former head of state to a god-like level, it's not usually a good sign for that nation. Radical fanaticism is never healthy for any country, especially when it comes from the party that rules it.

5. They didn't say they elevated him to a "god-like level". That's from the right-wing propagandists.

There's a lot of sunlight between the truth and what the professional assholes say.

6. Or maybe you just haven't read up on other examples of how people practically pray to "St Hugo"

Of course, you'd know all this if you actually gave a crap and read Venezuela-based sources, or even Spanish-language ones. And if they haven't elevated him to a god-like level, who's to say that this isn't the start of something towards that?

7. Chavistas are just weird. Abnormal n/t
