Courageous Venezuelan Opposition Leader Maria Corina Machado calls Chávez a “Thief” to His Face (Video)

What a courageous woman!
Venezuela opposition leader Maria Corina Machado confronted Marxist Hugo Chavez during his annual speech to the Venezuelan National Assembly. The brave woman called Chavez a “thief” and told him the country did not want communism.
The Real Cuba reported:
Hugo Chávez spoke for more than 8 hours during his annual speech to the Venezuelan National Assembly on Friday, during which he announced the closing of the Venezuelan consulate office in Miami.
The US government expelled the Venezuelan consul in charge of that office after accusing her of conspiring with Iranian and Cuban agents to attack the US computer networks.
María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan legislator and a potential presidential candidate, told Chávez that during his marathon state of the country speech, he didn’t say a word about the things that the Venezuelan people really wants to hear, the shortages of basic goods like milk, untamed crime and failed nationalizations that she referred to as “robberies.”
“We’ve been listening to you for eight hours describe a country very different to the one we mothers know,” she said, telling Chavez: “Mr. President, your time is finished.”
María Corina Machado also told Chávez that the Venezuelan people don’t want communism.
“The Venezuelan people do not want communism.”
Machado has been fighting the Marxists in Venezuela for years.
President George W. Bush welcomes Maria Corina Machado, the founder and executive director of Sumate, an independent democratic civil society group in Venezuela, to the Oval Office Tuesday, May 31, 2005. Sumate was established in January 2002 as a non-governmental organization to defend the electoral and constitutional rights of all Venezuelan citizens and to monitor and report on the performance of Venezuela’s electoral institutions.

Chavez came to power during gwb tenure as president. Why did he let that happen?

The spread of Communist and Socialist leaders have gone on for too long in Latin America. Not only is this young woman brave to stand up to the Land Pirate of Venezuela, here’s a Conservative woman running for President of Mexico.

If she gets elected, hopefully she’ll make Fast and Furious a priority for her Government to check into.

I hope Machado knows how to sleep with one eye open. What she’s doing is akin to testifying against a mob boss. Brave lady. She deserves admiration.

This woman puts a lot of Republicans to shame.
Gride commented:
María Corina Machado also told Chávez that the Venezuelan people don’t want communism.
But that is not what Sean Penn says, so I don’t believe her.
Tyranny's Bane commented:
This is quite a phenomenon. It seems the woman of the world are the ones showing courage in the face of Marxist tyranny, while the men seem cowed to one degree or another.
In Latin America:
María Corina Machado in Venezuela

In our own country:
Sarah Palin
Michele Bachmann

Bingo. Odd how it is the women who are the strong and brave ones, whether here in the U.S. or Venezuela or China or Burma. Why have the men lost their courage?
re Jan Brewer and the impostor
‘Gov. Jan Brewer Comforts the Woman Whose Son Barack Obama & Eric Holder Murdered
The photo shows Brewer consoling and comforting Josephine Terry, the mother of Brian Terry, the Border Patrol agent who was murdered as a result of the Obama Administration’s “Fast & Furious” gun operation designed to further restrict the Second Amendment. The photo was taken at the Peace Officer Memorial in Arizona and the photographer gave permission for me to post it here.
Say a prayer for Mrs. Terry, who must mourn the death of her son at a young age because of the irresponsible and radical behavior of the Obama Administration’s top officials, including Attorney General Eric Holder. Seems to me, Jan Brewer is on the right side and Barack Obama is beyond “disrespectful,” having caused the murder of an American law enforcement officer trying to do his job. Since Barack Obama is responsible for the murder of this woman’s son, why isn’t he there consoling Mrs. Terry?
Brian Terry, RIP.’

#17 S. Wolf,
I have heard the same thing from people on the radio in they are wondering why is it that women are going to be the one’s who will stand up for this country and will be the one’s who will call Obama a murderer of border patrol agents, innocent Mexican people, robbing the tax payers of billions of dollars and giving it to Obama’s cronies in all these big banks and investment corp. who Obama has given permission for them all to get multimillion dollar bonuses, and then cuts our military pay, men, and has robbed us of our livlihoods, homes, and money.
Yes, I want Obama out, but to rely on the men in the Republican Party to do the right thing is very hard to do when they are sitting there getting rich off cooporating with Democrats and making deals with our enemies like Chavez, and Maurice Strong in the U.N.. Hillary Clinton is right in there with Obama as a Communist herself. She was a radical in the 60′s as the attorney for the Black Panthers. What does anyone think she and Bill were doing in Russia back then while Bill was avoiding the draft? Taking in the sights? Not hardly. She was there to learn from the masters as what contacts she needed to make so that she could put this nation more in line with the Communist Manifesto, like Obama.
That is the reason why Hillary backed down right when she was about to beat him in getting the Democrat Party candidatcy for President. It was Obama was more of a Communist than she was and had the Socialist George Soros behind him to, she didn’t. So they made a deal with her she couldn’t refuse. And they threw her a bone with her State Dept. appointment. That is why she declared a long time ago that she would never run for President again, or any other political office. She’s done.
Now, it’s time that real women come out and tell Obama to his face, and that’s why I was wishing that Jan Brewer was pointing her finger at him at that airport and was telling him off for sueing her state and her office for following the Constitution on immigration issues. I just wish she was calling him what he is while pointing her finger in his face, you MARXIST!!!
WillofLa commented:
History has shown many times where it was the women who made the difference between freedom and slavery. They can kick butt when they need to. God gave them the ability to stand when there are no men around to do it for them. And at times like these where our men are being distracted by all the crap the Socialists are getting away with, it is women who can see through the fog in times when their survival is getting desperate.
I want to see women conservatives in Congress and the Senate start to stand against Obama, Reid, and Pelosi and their junk yard dogs like Durbin, and others. I long for Joe Wilson calling Obama “You lie!” in the middle of his speech. There needs to be at least one everytime he opens his mouth. Obama needs to be embarrassed. That is his one weakness. He can’t handle being embarrassed in public because he can’t back up what he says off the teleprompter.
IOpian commented:
I dare her to try criticizing Obama like that on NBC or The View. The reaction would be worse and the consequences severe.

This woman has more courage than the entire GOP put together. I’d like to see one of them call Obama a thief to his face.
the wolf commented:
Next she’s going to Hollywood to kick Sean Penn in the nuts.
luke Weyland commented:
Will the ‘courageous’ Presidential Maria stand up to US pressure?
Will she suport the movement towards building UNASUR, ALBA, Mercasur?
Will she fight against the Cocaine industry?
Will support free education and health care; subsidised food, housing & transport, that Chavez, The Movement for the Fith Republic/PSUV introduced
Will she support the Venezuelan constitution that 75% of her compatriots voted for.
Or will she simply remain a Yanquista?
We will never know – as I doubt she will be standing for president in the Fall.

I see that a Chavez supporter found his way in here, and is trying (weakly) to promote the notion of FREE STUFF under socialism.
Or maybe the Venezuelan climate lends itself to the growing of those elusive money trees that socialists are always looking for.
