CARACAS, Venezuela - Pat Robertson's call for American agents to assassinate President Hugo Chavez is a ``terrorist'' statement that needs to be investigated by U.S. authorities, Venezuela said Tuesday. The Bush administration quickly distanced itself from the religious broadcaster.

Robertson's suggestion Monday that the United States ``take out'' Chavez to stop Venezuela from becoming a ``launching pad for communist influence and Muslim extremism'' appeared likely to aggravate tensions between the United States and the world's fifth-largest oil exporting country.

Winding up a visit to Cuba, Chavez said in response to questions from reporters about Roberston's remarks that such comments did not matter to him and that he would prefer to ``talk about life.''

``I don't even know who that person is,'' said Chavez, standing next to Cuban leader Fidel Castro at Havana's airport.

1. Recommended!

Would be nice if no one had ever heard of Pat Robertson, I daresay.

2. Robertson can only plead insanity - ego's to big for stupidity

But, this is good, The new white house spokesman said they have distant themselves from Robertson, he's a private person, and disagree with his comments. I hope Bush/Cheney are impeached for war crimes with a passion! Lying to take the country to war under false pretenses is treason...come on Fitz!!!!

5. The absolute ULTIMATE put-down . . .

.
The absolute ultimate put-down . . . Chavez does not know who the hell the hedonistic, pontificating, self-righteous, unchristian "Reverend" Marion Gordon "Pat" Robertson is! LMAO !!!

However, it's no laughing matter that the FCC, FBI, and other police agencies allow Pat Robertson remain on the "air" threatening foreign leaders, and other hatefilled threatening spews. And, shame on Walt Disney Productions who is the parent corporation that owns ABC, ABC Family Network (where Robertson spews his hate on 700 Club and CBN, 3xs/daily).

Thread title: Chavez and Bush: a photographic essay

Guess Pat "Fatwa" Robertson isn't such a "Culture of Life" proponent after all. Or maybe his copy of the 10 Commandments was missing some of the less convenient ones...

20. Chavez is lucky he doesn't know

that particular US Scourge!

And pat robertson did use the word "assassinate"..

"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it," said Robertson on Monday's program. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."
