[Cecily]

What would we do with him after we kidnapped him?

Stop digging, Pat.

[wideawake]

Take him out could be a number of things including kidnapping

Idiot.

Either take it back or stand by it.

This fudging fools no one.

[PetroniusMaximus]

*** Take him out could be a number of things including kidnapping,***

Oh, this is really going to make things better.

[HawaiianGecko]

"he was misinterpreted and there were a number of ways to "take him out" including kidnapping."

Oh for crying out loud Pat! That's spin worthy of a liberal Democrat. We all know what you meant so either apologize or stand by your statement. (I prefer the latter)

[Types_with_Fist]

"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." Misinterpreted?

[Tim Long]

"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it."

This does not entail kidnapping or any other option. He meant kill him. I knew Robertson would back down. The PC police always make certain of that.

[TommyDale]

Let him keep talking. Maybe this will be his demise.

[Tequila25]

"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it."

Oh, so I guess he was talking about character assassination, or some other type of assassination I guess.

[Stellar Dendrite]

come on pat, you're disappointing me. stick to your GUNS

[Paloma_55]

Maybe he meant "Take him out" as in "take him to dinner, a movie, and have a good time"??

[headsonpikes]

"Just give Chavez a noogie and call him 'Hector, Hector, cootie inspector' - that's all I'm saying," Robertson added.

[Brilliant]

The guy's nuts.

[headsonpikes]

OOPS! Try 'Hugo, Hugo, drives a Yugo'!

;^)

[Fitzcarraldo]

Hugo Chavez is offering to sell "poor Americans" cheaper gas (via CITGO?). What are you doing, Pat?

[blaquebyrd]

"...either apologize or stand by your statement.

I haven't seen any conservatives or Christians come out publicly and defend his comments. Rush has backed away, nothing from Coulter or Hannity. With his backing down now I guess they won't need to take a public stance.

[A CA Guy]

After kidnapping him, you place him in a room with Star Jones while playing Barry Manilow tunes endlessly.

He will go both blind and deaf, they you release him since he will be less of a threat. ;-)

[Brilliant]

"misinterpreted"

Last time I looked in the dictionary, the term "assassinate" meant "kill." I don't think he was misinterpreted.

[Antoninus]

All the presstitutes are worried about the dumb things that doddering old Pat Robertson says. Meanwhile, they ignore the incendiary and dangerous things that this kook says:

‘New Castro’ threatens to take his feud with America nuclear - (Chavez rattling nuke sabers!)

[Stellar Dendrite]

"Rush has backed away,"

what do you mean rush has backed away? yesterday he said "why didnt you include castro?"
