Venezuela State Media Claims Chavez Opponent Was ‘Caught Having Sex With A Man In A Car’ | Supporters of Venezuela leader Hugo Chávez are characterizing his opponent, Henrique Capriles, as “a homosexual and a Zionist agent,” in an effort to discredit the challenger, the Wall Street Journal is reporting. Capriles “won an overwhelming victory in an opposition primary” on Sunday and represents the “most ambitious effort yet to unseat the charismatic and authoritarian leader after 13 years in power.” State newspapers are claiming that Capriles “participated in a fascist, white supremacist group” and represents “Zionism.” “In another broadside, a popular late-night program on state television called ‘The Razor,’ which every night vilifies Chávez opponents, alleged that Mr. Capriles was caught having sex with a man in a car.”
