As quoted in this BBC article, Pat Robertson just told viewers of his influential TV show, the 700 Club, "I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he [Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela] thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it."

Newsflash to Mr. Robertson: If you are trying to convince everyone that you did not call for the assassination of the President of Venezuela, as you clearly seemed to be doing in the press this week, you might consider refraining from making comments like, "we really ought to go ahead and do it". You are making yourself look like an idiot, along with the rest of the United States citizens. I wonder, would this country, and indeed the entire world, be a better place if somebody assassinated you instead of Chavez?
