Venezuelan Socialist Party swaps God for Chavez in new prayer [View all]

Rueters
CARACAS (Reuters) - A member of Venezuela's Socialist Party has rolled out a variation of the classic Christian "Lord's Prayer" to implore beloved late leader Hugo Chavez for protection from the evils of capitalism.

"Our Chavez who art in heaven, the earth, the sea and we delegates," red-shirted delegate Maria Estrella Uribe recited on Monday at the PSUV party Congress.

You're entitled to that, but you didn't respond to bvf Sep 2014 #9

Yes you can be angry or offended by it. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #10

OK, thanks. n/t. bvf Sep 2014 #11

Are you the discussion police? bvf Sep 2014 #13

Just be aware of the statement of purpose: cbayer Sep 2014 #14
