hugo on mugabe

Anyone here a fan of cuddly Hugo Chavez?

Here he is talking to Robert Mugabe, in 2004 [my emphasis]:

“I give you a replica of liberator Simon Bolivar's sword. For you, who, like Bolivar, took up arms to liberate your people. For you, who, like Bolivar, are and will always be a true freedom fighter … He continues, alongside his people, to confront the pretensions of new imperialists.”

God.
