because castro isn't sitting on massive oil wealth to fund insurgencies throughout south america.

Rush pretty much nailed this one. No Leftists ever got in a snit whenever a whackjob Leftist (I know...redundant) or an Islamofascist Imam (redundant again) issued a death threat against anyone. But one idjit named Pat Robertson goes off and *BAM*...front page spews!

One of the reasons Chavez is so dangerous is oil reserves
they have in Venezuela .

Not only does America and the Bush administration want to kill Chaves, but it was also reported by FreeRepublic that Rush Limbaugh is advocating the assination of Cuba's elected president, Fidel Castro.
How's that? ;-)

Someone please explain this to me: Pat Robertson, who has absolutely no standing in our government, official or otherwise, says we should 'take out' Chavez and reporters ask Secretary Rumsfeld if we are going to do just that. WTFO?????

The Jihadis want to enslave the world. Roberts wants to free Venezuala from a communist.

What Robertson said was If Chavez thinks the United States is trying to assassinate him, then we ought to just go ahead and do it. Since we face the accusations of it, rightly or not, we're once again looked at as big bad America we might as well get the satisfaction of a dead Chavez out of it.
I can't say I disagree with him. Careful what you wish for Hugo my friend.

Cindy Sheeehan, who has never been in the military OR Iraq, speaks for all of the families of deceased soldiers. Do the math.

That's pretty good! But you mean "right-wing extremist web site Free Republic" :-)

Pat Robertson was acting in his capacity as a television commentator and offered his
opinion that the United States government should consider lifting it's 30 year old ban on political assassination against a sworn enemy of the United States. How many of us have opined that the IRS should be abolished, that the federal judiciary should be reined in, that members of the left should be prosecuted, that the United States should invade Syria, North Korea or Iran, etc. So how is this any different than Robertson offering an opinion.
A Muslim imam orders his armed terrorist followers to kill innocent civilians, and they do it.
I would say this is a huge difference.

It's interesting that Robertson has no followup statement on his website.

of a
religious show on a
religious network.
I still see absolutely no difference between Robertson and his comments and an inman's with his. Both use religion for their own perverted disgusting ends of violence and death.

The difference between Pat's statement and Immam s calling for Jihad........Let's see.....Pat is calling for the death of ONE MAN who happens to be a Communist and will eventually have to be dealt with and the other [Jihad] is calling for the systemic killing of all men, women and children of any faith including non-Jihadist Muslims, with the ULTIMATE GOAL being the complete annihilation of all Christians & Jews on the face of the earth, and the complete obliteration of WESTERN CIVILISATION.
Let's see I would guess the MSM would think that to be about a wash, with only a slight edge of outrageousness given to Pat's statement.

The followers of the Inman will take him serious and strap on a suicide vest and go out and kill some innocent people (we have evidence of this occurring). I doubt if any follower of Robertson will do the same, but then you knew that.
Also, if you have not done so, read the statement in the context it was made.

Have you ever watched the 700 Club?
Have you ever seen Pat Robertson preach?

Pat is calling for the death of ONE MAN So that lessens the crime? Hey, its just one scumbag, he won't be missed ...
How do you think the jihadis rationalize their actions?
EXACTLY the SAME WAY!
