He's a commie tyrant...and good buddy of Fidel
I would be voting for cruise missiles...to be sending him to hell
Go ask Pat if...that policy will sell
And if you go... whacking Hugo...there is a price you'll have to pay
Criticism from the lefties...and they will not go away
Go ask Pat if...he has some more to say
We have heard from the Reverend...he said send in our CIA
And if they do what they are trained to...he won't breathe after today
Ask Pat if...those guys should make the play
We know how to tweak the lefties...we will go and steal their oil
And when they see what we are doing...it will make all their blood boil
Ask Pat if...Hugo Chavez should be dead...should be dead
Should be dead...should be dead
Inspired.
"and if you go ... whacking Hugo" Priceless!
Its a shame that while Chavez was in Cuber, we didnt add Castro to the Hit list. (Ala JFK but with more competance this time.)

I have an uncle I haven't seen for a long time whose name is Hugo. I've waited years to use the line in the song --- And if you go, Uncle Hugo. It was just good fortune for Robertson to have put his foot in his mouth and create the opportunity for "whacking" instead of "uncle."
Robertson apologizes for remark
Associated Press
Published August 25, 2005
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson apologized Wednesday for calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, only hours after he denied saying Chavez should be killed.
"Is it right to call for assassination?" Robertson said. "No, and I apologize for that statement. I spoke in frustration that we should accommodate the man who thinks the U.S. is out to kill him."
Chavez, whose country is the world's fifth-largest oil exporter, has emerged as an outspoken critic of President Bush. He accuses the United States of conspiring to topple his government. U.S. officials have called the accusations ridiculous.
On Monday's telecast of his Christian Broadcasting Network show "The 700 Club," Robertson said: "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."
On Wednesday, Robertson initially denied having called for Chavez to be killed and said The Associated Press misinterpreted his remarks.
"I didn't say `assassination.' I said our Special Forces should `take him out,"' Robertson said on his show. "`Take him out' could be a number of things including kidnapping."
He later issued the apology on his Web site (www.cbn.com).
