Why post this??? Who cares? Why perpetuate the hysteria being created by the left? Pat Robertson made a stupid statement. Big deal.

He's past his prime. And his prime, such as it was, was never ready for prime time.

I defended his right to say it. Hugo Chavez is one dangerous SOB.
Guess Robertson's conscience got the best of him.

Evidently the context is Chavez gave $1 million to Al Queda. Is it still a stupid statement?
Don't know.

"I never said it. People twisted my words. And I apologize for saying it."
What a dope!
To: areafiftyone
It seems like it's been a long time since Pat Robertson was relevant.
For me, the defining moment was around 8 or 10 years ago when his CBN endorsed Benny Hinn.

(Just my opinion, of course. Your mileage may vary.)
