Televangelist Calls for Chavez' Death

Tue Aug 23, 6:20 AM ET

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested on-air that American operatives assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to stop his country from becoming "a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism."

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

Any thoughts?

Thanks God the US abandoned it’s earlier policy to assassinate political leaders we don’t like.  No-one should get away with public solicitation for a crime  under the auspices of Freedom of Speech.  

ABC TV got banned from Russia for airing a terrorist’s views. What do we do with “The 700 Club”?

I wish I could say I was surprised. The world is conspiring to put my business (theatre) out of business. Nah, wait a minute, if that showed up in a play the audience would walk out thinking it was plainly unbelievable.
