Hugo Chavez, In So Many Words

On Halloween: "What they have implanted here, which is really a 'gringo' custom, is terrorism. They disguise children as witches and wizards, that is contrary to our culture,"

"I have always said that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet."

“Mr. Obama ... You are a clown, a clown. Leave us in peace … Go after your votes by fulfilling that which you promised your people."

On Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice:  “Remember, little girl, I’m like the thorn tree that flowers on the plain.  Don’t mess with me, Condoleezza. Don’t mess with me, girl.”

On cancer in Latin America:  "Would it be so strange that they've invented technology to spread cancer and we won't know about it for 50 years?"

On nuclear power in Iran:  "That hill will open up and a big atomic bomb will come out. The imperialist spokesmen say Ahmadinejad and I are going into the basement now to set our sights on Washington and launch cannons and missiles… It’s laughable.”

"Let's save the human race, let's finish off the U.S. empire."

On the Jewish people:  "The world is for all of us, then, but it so happens that a minority, the descendants of the same ones that crucified Christ, has taken possession of  all of the wealth of the world."
