Joe Kennedy Loves Hugo Chavez

Yes, Joe loves Hugo ... but is seriously angry with Connie. Yes, another scion of the Kennedy family, Joe Kennedy, son of the late Robert Kennedy, has jumped in bed with our favorite Commie dictator and all it cost him in exchange for his soul was some cheap heating oil. Watch the TV ad below and then if you can control your urge to vomit, go ahead and read the story of this love-hate triangle between a former Congressman, a current Congressman and a Commie.

Joe Kennedy Fires Back Letter to
Florida Rep. Connie Mack Over Chavez Oil TV Ad
WASHINGTON (FOX NEWS) - Monday, February 12, 2007

Former Rep. Joe Kennedy fired off a letter Monday in response to a Florida congressman’s calls for him to stop airing television commercials that heap praise on Venezuela for its providing discounted heating oil to low-income U.S. households.

“If your moral indignation requires that we not accept the discount oil to distribute to our most vulnerable families, then that same high moral standard should require that you not drive your car because it, too, probably uses gasoline made from Venezuelan oil,” Kennedy wrote in a letter sent to Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fla.

“Maybe the fact that you live in Florida diminishes your concern for those who have to forgo food or medicine to pay for heat or turn to dangerous heating sources to stay warm, risking their lives to brave the cold,” Kennedy wrote. “If so, maybe you could advocate that they move to your district to alleviate the need to figure out ways to protect them.”

In a letter sent earlier in the day, Mack scolded Kennedy for the television ad that Mack says pays tribute to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, “a sworn enemy of the United States.”

In the ad, Kennedy, founder and president of Citizens Energy Corp., a nonprofit energy company, thanks Venezuela and Citgo, a Houston-based oil company owned by the Chavez government, for contributing heating oil to low income senior citizens. “I am Joe Kennedy. Help is on the way. Heating oil at 40 percent off from our friends in Venezuela at Citgo,” Kennedy says in the commercial.

Mack said Kennedy’s link to Venezuela sends the wrong message of support for Chavez. “Hugo Chavez is using Joe Kennedy in a charade to try to deflect attention from the fact that his own country economically and politically, is falling part,” Mack told FOX News. “I don’t know how, in good conscience, you can, as an American, stand up and support someone like Hugo Chavez.”

In the letter to Kennedy, Mack wrote: “Venezuela’s Communist President Hugo Chavez is a sworn enemy of the United States. That is why there is absolutely no excuse for you to be praising him in television commercials and media interviews for any reason whatsoever.”

Mack’s letter continues: “While you have gone out of your way to publicly praise Hugo Chavez, he’s gone out of his way to crush the hopes and dreams of the Venezuelan people and to destabilize freedom, democracy, and the United States interests throughout the Western Hemisphere.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
