PARANOID CHAVEZ ACCUSES OPPOSITION OF ATTEMPTING COUP

XINHUA:

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez ruled out on Thursday the possibility of a coup in his country and condemned the opposition's support for street protests against his government.

During a national TV-radio address, Chavez accused the right-win groups of supporting the students, who had demonstrated for the fifth consecutive day in the capital.

"The youngsters are used by the groups seeking violence and attempting to mount a coup like the one of April 2002," Chavez said.

HE IS NUTS. EVEN MORE THAN MOST SOCIALISTS.
