Don't let Robertson get away with it! ...



Robertson says:

:"I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted by the AP "

But he DID say it!


"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it," Robertson said Monday on his show, The 700 Club. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don't think any oil shipments will stop."

2. If we don't do something
No one will, with the conservative media bias and all.

3. My letter to the CRTC,
I would like to lodge a complaint about a program called "the 700 Club". I strongly object to anyone using Canadian airwaves to call for the assassination of the democratically elected (twice) President of Venezuela. Marion Gorden "pat" Robertson,on The Christian Broadcasting Network.inc broadcast a call for the Murder of Hugo Chavez.
Am I Wrong in believing that this is considered a Hate Crime in Canada? I would like this program taken off the Canadian airwaves until MG"pat" Robertson apologizes and promises to use no more hate speech.
Canadian laws are very clear on this issue and inciting hate cannot be tolerated, nor be allowed to come into our homes from the United States.
As a friend said "I hate censorship, but when it is as clear as this, sometimes it IS necessary".
thank you for your time and attention,

4. Backpedaling, rationalizing, everything's OK now.
Religiously insane are getting real cocky. He knows no one will hold him accountable. Sickening.

5. Anybody willing to murder is certainly willing to lie.
Robertson is willing to do both.

By their works you will know them.

Robertson's works are profiteering, lying, cheating and inciting murder.

It's a good thing God is too big for basta*ds like this putz to give Him a bad name.
