Pat Robertson isn't a terrorist - he's an a**hole.

While I am all for our CIA taking out a few people, I really think it is very, very stupid for a public figure to say such things.

***On Monday, Robertson said on the Christian Broadcast Network's "The 700 Club": "We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability."***

If he said it, it was a very foolish thing for a religious broadcaster to say.

""The ball is in the U.S. court, after this criminal statement by a citizen of that country," "

maybe criminal in you country but perfectly legal in the good ole US of A.

Robertson isn't a terrorist, but he sure has a big mouth and speaks about things which he should not discuss publicly.

[foofoopowder]

From the Weekly Standard magazine, article titled "Hurricane Hugo", tells about Chavez sending his troops into Jewish school, his anti-Semitism in general, his meeting with Iran and Castro. Just another maniac dictator whose oil we need because we're too dumb to drill in Alaska, drill offshore, build nuclear plants, build new refineries, invent new car engines, etc.

While I don't support assassinating Chavez, anything that makes him even more paranoid just adds to the entertainment value!

While I agree Robertson is a wack job, the First Amendment does indeed protect his right to say what he said. No matter what the Venezuelan govt. wants the Bush adminstration to do and no matter how much they want to believe he is a terrorist, he has done nothing wrong except be a class A moron aloud with media around!

[atomicpossum]

You've got Lefties on the air talking about assassination of the US President, the media yawns. Another guy on TV, who regularly makes silly statements says this, it's suddenly news. What a yawn.

That said, if something big and heavy were to fall on Chavez, I wouldn't feel the need to investigate too hard. Things happen, you know?

[Constitution Day]

He's not a terrorist, but his kookiness reached explosive potential some years back.

[Peach]

Of course Robertson has a first amendment right to say whatever he wants. But most people who are prominent in their positions of power know enough not to speak about assassinating a world leader.

Sure, if he were, but he ain't.

Chavez is aligning himself with Latin America Al Queda. Jimmy Carter strikes again to help Islamofascists who hate America.

Somebody needs to sneak onto DU, start a thread entitled "Why isn't Pat Robertson in prison yet?", then just sit back see how many bolshevick kooks respond in kind.

Come on Peach! You sound like an apologist for the outrageous behavior of Hugo Chavez. This wacko loon doesn't deserve a pass.

Pat Robertson is an American and he has every right to speak out against the outlandish lies of Chavez, without being trashed. Many FReepers have shown the same hatred towards Robertson that liberals have. While not consistent with US law, Robertson's remarks are in tune with how most Americans feel about that crazy Venezuelan and his his best friend, Fidel Castro. If the opportunity came around, Chavez and Castro should both be taken out.

Pat Robertson is a citizen of the United States of America where you are allowed to say whatever you darn well please.

Unless, of course, you are employed by WMAL radio.
