Thread: Staying away from CITGO GAS

Staying away from CITGO
By Michelle Malkin · September 21, 2006 03:28 PM
Tons of readers are asking me for information about boycoting CITGO to protest sulfur-sniffing Hugo Chavez. Movement growing here and here. More here and here.

Jim Hoft notes that CITGO held a Chavez pep rally in Harlem. Fox News reports:

Chavez, dressed in his signature red shirt, was introduced at the podium by activist actor Danny Glover.
At one point Chavez told the crowd, "sometimes the devil takes human form," a comment that drew some boos — and applause — from the crowd who interpreted the reference to mean President Bush.

Chavez was visiting the church as part of ceremonies to announce the sale of discounted home heating oil to qualified low-income families.

The appearance came after reports circulated early Thursday morning that the Venezuelan president had left the country overnight after delivering an insult-riddled speech at the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday in which he called President Bush the 'devil.'

The crowd chanted "Chavez, Chavez, the people are with you" in Spanish as he walked into the Mount Olivet Baptist Church on Lenox Ave. in Harlem.

The event, one of a series designed to boost the Venezuelan leader's popularity in the U.S., was organized by Citgo, a Houston-based energy company that is owned and controlled by the Venezuelan government. Under a Citgo program, and in partnership with Citizens Energy, a program started and run by former Congressman Joe Kennedy II, families from low-income neighborhoods in New York, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia have the ability to purchase discounted home heating oil over winter months.

Venezuelan officials and Citgo employees handed out T-shirts prior to the event with the name of the program — "From The Venezuelan Heart To The U.S. Hearths" — printed across the front.

I wonder how this stumpy little Napoleanic ort would like a dose of truth, e.g., this 15-foot sign adjacent to every CitGo station in the free world.
