Well, whether they like it or not, simpering leftist Chavez admirers officially have something in common with a big oil company. Citgo, headquartered in Houston, may be owned by Venezuela’s national oil company, but that is no excuse to use the American and Texas flags to pay tribute to a monster.
Just disgusting.
@Talkmaster The Citgo building on Eldridge in Houston is flying the US flag at half mast in honor of Chavez. WTH!
