The man is just fuckin crazy.....

(CNN) -- Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson has called for the United States to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling him "a terrific danger" bent on exporting Communism and Islamic extremism across the Americas.

"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," Robertson said. "We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one 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."


Not only is he advocating terrorist type behavior, he is also, intentionally or not, criticizing the administration's handling of Iraq.

I would have to say thank you to Mr Robertson though, for he illustrates the dangers of following a theistic doctrine with regard to foreign policy.....

Also interesting is the poll on CNN.com. They asked if his comments were out of line. I expected to see a few percent... maybe... but not 20%!!! One fifth of the people responding think as Robertson does.
