'They Accuse Him of Being a Terrorist, But Carlos Really Was a Revolutionary Fighter'

No wonder Bill Ayers digs this guy. In the bizarre world where Hugo Chavez resides, terrorists are freedom fighters, genocidal madmen are good friends and American liberals suck up to you to curry favor. No amount of idiocy that flows from his piehole is enough for the left to even denounce this buffoon.

Hugo Chavez has defended imprisoned terrorist Carlos the Jackal, saying the Venezuelan was an important "revolutionary fighter" who supported the cause of the Palestinians.

The Venezuelan president praised Carlos - whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez - during a speech Friday night saying: "I defend him. It doesn't matter to me what they say tomorrow in Europe."

Ramirez gained international notoriety during the 1970s and '80s as the alleged mastermind of a series of bombings, killings and hostage dramas. He is serving a life sentence in France for the 1975 murders of two French secret agents and an alleged informant.

"They accuse him of being a terrorist, but Carlos really was a revolutionary fighter," Chavez said.

Chavez also sought to defend other leaders he said are wrongly labeled "bad guys" internationally, including Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Chavez called both of them brothers and said he now wonders whether Ugandan dictator Idi Amin was truly as brutal as he was reputed to be.

Robert Mugabe, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Idi Amin. A regular Murderer's Row of psychopaths to admire.
