Well I already told you that I never buy from Citgo! And now Dr. Michael Savage is saying that nobody should. Of course I’m in full agreement, given I personally boycotted them since hearing the mouth of Hugo Chavez.

Yesterday Dr. Savage did a double rip on Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez and Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He also covered how Iran is arming Venezuela with missiles that can reach the USA! Are you ready for a Venezuelan missile crisis?

Ironically, the USA is Venezuela’s largest trading partner.

Savage also mentioned Jimmy Carter’s terrible job in monitoring Venezuela’s elections.

He mentioned that no Jewish US Senator has protested Mahmoud Ahmadinejad coming to the USA and that Iranians’ protest outside of the UN building was not covered by the MSM.

Dr. Savage requested in his opening yesterday, that his advocacy of the Citgo boycott be promoted on the Internet. Of course I am more than happy to help. So I’ve included his opening, that contains all of this in the audio file linked below.

update 9/21/2006 9:51PM: Some people are making claims that a successful boycott of Citgo will end up putting Americans who work for the company out of work. I think the claims of putting Citgo employees out of work are a bit short sighted. If Citgo started doing very poorly in America, an American based oil company would be able to buy the American based portion of the company for a cheap price. Citgo gas station owners could find another company to work with, although they will endure some transitional pains.

If I was a Citgo employee, I’d be looking for another job, simply because I would not want to be associated with Hugo Chavez and know he’s behind my paycheck. Let Citgo sell their product to other nations. So what if it’s China. Chavez certainly is not working in the best interest of America, so it’s foolish to consider continually funding his nation with US dollars. And I have made it known before that I am no fan of our trade with nations like China. Although it’s nearly impossible to avoid products made in China and at least their leaders work against us with some level of civility.

What’s next, should we all buy books written by Liberals, because some book company might go out of business if we don’t? The beauty of a market based financial system, is that if one company goes under a new company will come along to take its place and make new jobs.
