Deity of the Left, Idol of Arabs

Hugo Chavez is now an idol, being openly worshipped by Hezbullah. (h/t FreeRepublic)

And here I thought Muslims were against idolatry. I'm sure plenty of Fauxtos will follow. As usual, you know you'll find 'em here first!

UPDATE 14:10 EST: That didn't take long. Here's the first of what is sure to be thousands of pictures:

A poster showing Hassan Nasrallah(R), the Secretary General of Hezbollah and Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez and that reads: "Gracias Chavez" is seen hanging from a destroyed bridge in a southern suburb of Beirut. Hezbollah supporters headed towards the Lebanese capital for a massive "victory" rally after the war with Israel.(AFP/Hassan Ammar)


I sure hope Israel's poised to carpet-bomb "shower with love" that incredible target-rich environment "victory rally."

Update 22-SEP 11:13 EST: It seems that this might be a popular poster at Hezbullah's victory party.
Hezbollah supporters carry a banner showing Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah and Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez, top, during a Hezbollah 'victory over Israel' rally, in Beirut's bombed-out suburbs, Lebanon, Friday, Sept. 22, 2006. In his first public appearance since the start of his group's summertime war with Israel, Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah thanked God for what he called a 'divine victory' against the Jewish state. Chavez in a fiery speech to the United Nations Thursday, called for the world body to be overhauled, saying the U.S. government's 'immoral veto' had allowed recent Israeli bombings of Lebanon to continue unabated for more than a month.

In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
