According to a US State Department memo leaked by the whistleblowing organization '' Wikileaks '' , Anti-American Imperialism-themed propaganda is used to create nationalist sentiments among Venezuelans portraying the Bolivarian Revolution as an " underdog , making the Bolivarian government appear as ' David ' so the United States could seem to be an ' imperialist , neo-liberal Goliath ' " . The United States government stated that the it was Chávez 's " favorite punching bag " and often accused the United States of " meddling in Venezuela 's domestic affairs " . Chávez would blame problems experienced in Venezuela on the United States . Hugo Chávez used " brash , often confounding remarks against the US , capitalism , and a bevy of other topics " . Chávez called former President of the United States George W. Bush a " drunkard " , " donkey " and compared him to Adolf Hitler . Chávez also made claims that the 2010 Haiti earthquake was due to a " secretive US weapons test "
