hristian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club host Pat Robertson ... founder of the Christian Coalition of America has called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Frias.
In a direct transcript of his August 22 The 700 Club broadcast Robertson clearly says:
There was a popular coup that overthrew him [Chavez]. And what did the United States State Department do about it? Virtually nothing. And as a result, within about 48 hours that coup was broken; Chavez was back in power, but we had a chance to move in. He has destroyed the Venezuelan economy, and he's going to make that a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent.
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.
It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... and I don't think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger and the United ... this is in our sphere of influence, so we can't let this happen.
We have the Monroe Doctrine, we have other doctrines that we have announced. And without question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us very badly.
We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability.
We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.
Yes.
But only because the Vatican would then have been destroyed by 1941.
We need to deal with him like we did with Qaddafi in mid 80s
LOL...
Assignation...that sounds much WORSE than assasination...
They don't actually kill you, they just put a bullet in your ass!
We did, Pat, up until president Kennedy threw it away over the Cuban missle crisis.
This is an absolutely rediculous idea. A US assisination of Chavez would be the absolute best thing to spread his brand of leftism across Latin America. Chavez would be a martyr and someone else from his leftist party would take control, with more popular support.

"a man of the cloth to be calling for an assassination is way off base."
My point exactly.
You are right..plus this fool has invited Muslim terrorist supporting nations to conferences...this guy will sponser ANY terrorism against the US...TAKE HIM OUT.
Well, I guess we can just strike "Thou shalt not kill" and replace it with "Thou shalt not kill, unless it's a democratically elected leader who one disagreeth with".
Face it, this is reprehensible behavior on Robertson's part--and for those bringing up the Churchill/Hitler analogy, what are you talking about? Please, I would LOVE to be enlightened about the Hugo Chavez plan for widespread genocide...
I don't see this as damaging to Christianity at all. Chavez is an enemy of Christ.
Churchill had tact.
We don't actually have to assassinate him...just bribe a few Venezuelan generals to do it for us. It's just war by another means....and Chavez has it coming.
"You are right..plus this fool has invited Muslim terrorist supporting nations to conferences."
Which ones, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia?
Bingo
Sheer conjecture.
Remember -- the Italians were 95% Catholic, as were many Germans and other Europeans.
There are two asses in ass-ass-i-na-tion.
And the problem is......?????
" There are two asses in ass-ass-i-na-tion."
Spell check strikes again!
Read the Old Testament. God told the Isrealites to wipe out whole cites, women and children alike, in order to keep evil from spreading. We would do well to follow his lead instead of long drawn out wars.
