Pat Robertson, host of Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club and founder of the Christian Coalition of America, called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. From the August 22 broadcast of The 700 Club: ROBERTSON: There was a popular coup that overthrew him [Chavez]. And what did the United States State Department do about it? Virtually nothing. And as a result, within about 48 hours that coup was broken; Chavez was back in power, but we had a chance to move in. He has destroyed the Venezuelan economy, and he's going to make that a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent. You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don't think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger and the United ... This is in our sphere of influence, so we can't let this happen. We have the Monroe Doctrine, we have other doctrines that we have announced. And without question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us very badly. We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.

Pat Robertson is a non-sensical anti-American Zionist agent. Chevez is no Muslim. Chavez quotes the Bible in his speeches: "The former colonel", he continues, "likes to spice his often lengthy and unusual speeches with quotes from the Bible, French poets, military overtones and repeated references to South America’s independence hero Simon Bolivar, who [he] claims his inspiration". http://www.analit ica.com/constituyente/opinion/o19.asp Robertson is nothing but a AIPAC/Israel/Big federal government shill who holds sway over legions of braindead sociopaths so stupid that they will Fed-Ex him cash when he starts boo-hooing on camera. Robertson's new God is Israel and he bashes Islam 24/7. Could you just imagine the howls over at FR and LP if a leading Muslim cleric called for the assasination of the meddlesome and violent leader of a particular foreign country?
Yeah they'd be screaming for a war!! Just read something about Limbaugh saying Robertson shouldve asked for the assination of Casto as well..
We're all Israelis now...and we're dead...
That explains the profusion of home remodelling shows. Doesn't it?
