2013 Venezuelan Presidential: Policy Debate Summary from Wikipedia
"The campaign was characterised by insults from both sides. Examples
include Maduro calling Capriles "Prince of the Bourgeoisie" and
"capricious", while Capriles described Maduro as "Satan"[14] and as "bird brain", "great fool", and "liar".[15]
Maduro also "employed comments that were regarded as homophobic,
calling Capriles a 'little princess' while declaring 'I have my woman, I
like women'."[15]
In the campaign, Maduro sang a rap song in which he described his
opponent as "the little bourgeois shit who shits himself of fear when
the people raise their voice". He also implied that Capriles was gay,
referring to him being unmarried. Capriles then said he loves so many
women he can't decide. He also declared that Maduro's wife was ugly and
asked who wants to be with her."[16]
"I also think you have to remember that it’s not only (Thatcher) that the song
is aimed at. It’s what she represents. The way she’s changed the way
people value things. It’s like some kind of mass hypnosis she’s achieved." -E. Costello
