ABC's Flub: Ahmadinejad Meets 'Cesar Chavez' in Latin America

By Brad Wilmouth | February 01, 2012 | 04:02

A  A

A few years ago, when FNC's Fox and Friends substitute co-anchor Peter Johnson, Jr., accidentally referred to left-wing Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez as "Cesar Chavez," the famous American labor and civil rights activist, the flub received attention from some of FNC's left-wing critics, even though the FNC host corrected himself moments later.

But Tuesday's World News on ABC demonstrates that you don't have to be a target of the left to make the same flub. (Video below)

During a report on recent warnings by National Intelligence Director David Clapper that Iran may target the U.S. for a terrorist attack in the near future, correspondent Martha Raddatz recounted:

He pointed specifically to last year's plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States, and to reports that Iran has been supporting Hezbollah cells in Latin America. Iran's President Ahmadinejad recently traveled there, meeting leaders like Cesar Chavez of Venezuela and Fidel Castro, who have little love for the U.S.

But when the leftys of the MSM make those same mistakes, its not an "error" but simply the result of "exhaustion"!

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. BEN FRANKLIN

"Everyone" knows that Hugo goes by "Cesar" to all his underlings. As in "Hail Cesar!"

It's Not Martha's Fault

Bush did it!

Maybe Martha dropped-out of school (fact) in protest to a future President Bush enacting No Child Left behind.  Maybe all Hispanics look alike to her because she inherited prosopagnosia from her parents.
