Chavez warns of spooky US Halloween 'terrorism'

President Hugo Chavez cautioned Venezuelan parents to protect their children from Halloween with a spooky warning that the US tradition is rooted in "terrorism."
"What they have implanted here, which is really a 'gringo' custom, is terrorism," Chavez said, quoted in the local press. "They disguise children as witches and wizards, that is contrary to our culture
Chavez often lashes out at the US government, which he has described as "terrorist" and accused of plotting his assassination. But this time his warnings were directed at the American celebration that combines costumes and candy.
He issued "an appeal for reflection by parents" not to encourage their children to dress up for the holiday.
His comments came after authorities in Caracas recently seized pumpkins, cardboard skeleton costumes and other traditional Halloween items inscribed with anti-Chavez messages.
US families were celebrating Halloween, during which disguised children go door to door saying "trick or treat," on Monday.

I guess someone forget to tell Chavez that in at least one city in the US (Newton, MA) Halloween was canceled by a Pro-Chavez supporter. See the post or two below for more info!!
Congrats HUGO CHAVEZ for having the BRAIN FART du jour!

You worth more to us alive than dead my passionate dictator. The sad part is sooner or later you will be gone. Either by natural causes or something more sinister. No it won't be us. Like I said your worth more alive than dead. Comedic value you know! These days we all need a good laugh now and then.Your time will come. Sadly as a wise old mobster in Revere once told me "These kinds of things are best looked at close to home."
