Bono Bashes Hugo Chavez

Bono is creating shock and awe on the left by having the audacity to characterize Venezuela’s dictator Hugo Chavez as what he is.

The lead singer of the rock band U2 used his bucks to invest in a video game that casts the current nation of Venezuela as a banana republic led by a “power hungry tyrant.”

This isn’t sitting well with the left and the base of the Democrat Party who revere Chavez.

Cindy Sheehan, the antiwar crowd’s "mom" face, recently said she would rather live under Chavez than remain in a nation with President Bush at its helm.

And Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte, and Jesse Jackson have heaped praise on Chavez while vilifying our own president.

Evidently, a private investment company set up by Bono provided $300 million in financing to Pandemic Studios, creator of the video game “Mercenary 2: World in Flames.”

Gabriela Ramirez, one of Chavez stooges in the Venezuelan National Assembly, told The Associated Press that the game provides “a justification for an imperialist aggression.”

The Left Coast Report thinks that lefties are really bent out of shape because Bono may make taking down commie thugs cool.
