He did it WHILE broadcasting. What do you think he broadcasts? (Hint: its NOT a cooking show)
Pat Robertson is a politico as much as an "evangelist" and he is certainly much more often quoted speaking politically than religiously. He was certainly doing so here. It's not like he was saying: "God told me that we ought to assassinate Hugo Chavez."
I have no interest in defending Pat Robertson as I think he's a kook--and certainly not representative Christianity, as far as I'm concerned. However, he is absolutely right about Hugo Chavez being a danger. He's a marxist nutball who hates the US and will end up causing us no end of trouble. It irks me that some FReepers are so quick to jump on the "idiot Christians/poor Chavez" bandwagon. That was exactly the response this story was meant to elicit. It's troubling how many of you had the "correct" reaction without even thinking twice.

WOW! 53 posts to get to the 'meat'! And from one who is neutral no less!
I'm afraid the noise is too load for many to hear, Antoninus.
Score 100 just the same.
