Hugo Chavez Watch: 7-Eleven Dropping Venezuela’s CITGO
Kenmore Square and the landmark Citgo sign are seen from the roof of the John Hancock Tower in Boston on Monday, Feb. 13, 2006. Boston City Councilor Jerry McDermott wants to take down the famed sign in Kenmore Square in response to controversial remarks by Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez when he called President Bush ‘the devil’ during a speech at the U.N. General Assembly Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2006.
Convenience store operator 7-Eleven Inc. is dropping Venezuela-backed Citgo as its gasoline supplier at more than 2,100 locations and switching to its own brand of fuel.
The retailer said Wednesday it will purchase fuel from several distributors, including Tower Energy Group of Torrance, Calif., Sinclair Oil of Salt Lake City, and Houston-based Frontier Oil Corp.
A spokeswoman for Dallas-based 7-Eleven said its 20-year contract with Citgo Petroleum Corp. ends next week. About 2,100 of 7-Eleven’s 5,300 U.S. stores sell gasoline.
Citgo is a Houston-based subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, and the foreign parent became a public-relations issue for 7-Eleven because of comments by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Good for 7-Eleven.
But, America needs to end its dependence on foreign sources of energy.

Hugo Chavez Watch: Chavez Calls President Bush “THE DEVIL” During United Nations Speech
Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez acknowledges members of the 61st session of the United Nations General Assembly at U.N. headquarters, Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2006.
AP: At U.N., Chavez calls Bush ‘the devil’
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez took his verbal battle with the United States to the floor of the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, calling President Bush “the devil.”
The impassioned speech by the leftist leader came a day after Bush and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sparred over Tehran’s disputed nuclear program but managed to avoid a personal encounter.
“The devil came here yesterday,” Chavez said, referring to Bush’s address on Tuesday and making the sign of the cross. “He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world.”
Allah has the video and more: Video: Chavez flips out at the UN (Highlights added)
The White House has refused comment but Flap will respond.
American people why are we listening to Marxist Latin American dictators and Islamofascists at the United Nations which derives over 25 per cent of its support from the United States?
Isn’t it time to send the United Nations out of New York and withdraw from this useless, reckless, ineffective, racist and anti-semitic institution?
Chavez’s speech was a JOKE by a smart-ass piece of shit NUTTTER-MORON dictator. Send him home and boycott Venezulean products, including its oil.
Stay tuned…….

Nutter Watch: Sean Penn – President Bush May Bring Fascism to America
NewsBusters: Sean Penn: Bush Caused ‘Enormous Damage to Mankind,’ May Bring Fascism to U.S.
Actor Sean Penn, in a taped Larry King Live interview aired Thursday night on CNN to promote his new movie, All the King’s Men, in which he plays a Huey Long-like character, suggested President Bush may bring fascism to America, charged that Bush has “devastated our democracy,†insisted Donald Rumsfeld and Bush have done “enormous damage†to “this country and mankind†and claimed the war on terrorism is meant to distract from reality.
Watch the Video here.
King: “But when the President says we should support emerging democracies, because democracy’s better for the world, is that — isn’t he right?â€
Penn: “I think he’s devastated our democracy. I think you have to start with our democracy. He’s made us divided. I have a lot of very good friends who are Republicans, who are right-wing Republicans. And when you are with people and you talk to people as people, and not as Republicans and Democrats, you find that’s why his numbers are down. Because people have common sense. They’re going to vote, you know, in a few months, and they’re going to say, well, are we going to be suckers again? Are we going to be suckers to partisan policy and politics and all of that stuff?
“By the way, no Democrat that doesn’t have a plan to get our troops out of Iraq should be voted for. Not one of them. You know, there’s got to be some courage expressed, and that’s what I’m worried about is that we’re not going to have good choices.â€
And we want to trust THIS MORON on foreign affairs and American politics?
But, Flap agrees with Penn on his last statement. Flap will not vote for any Democrat who does not have a plan to get America out of Iraq.
The Democrats do not have a plan and Flap WON’T.
