Chávez to Capriles: You cannot avoid confrontation

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez challenged on Thursday the candidate for the opposition Unified Democratic Panel (MUD) Henrique Capriles Radonski to confront him, because he is the homeland.

"The blinking idiot has some advisors that have recommended him that he should not confront me and I tell you, jerk, you are to confront Chávez because the matter is with me and you should confront me with ideas, because Chávez is the people," the Head of State spat.

"The more you try to disguise, the more you will find me, everyday, you jerk! You will not succeed in avoiding confrontation with Chávez, which is confrontation with patriots, with the homeland, with national dignity!" he reiterated.

that the pro-Chavez crowd regularly denounces personal attacks in US politics, but is strangely silent when Chavez is calling the guy a jerk. Hopefullly Capriles is smart enough to stay above that low level style of campaigning.
