This is a classic example of what I mean........not that Robertson made the remarks he did.........after all, the man is deranged and has been making those kind of remarks for years. What infuriates me is not one S. Baptist minister has the balls to chastize or criticize him.......just like the Muslim mullahs who won't chastize the terrorists and the other mullahs who encourage suicide bombers. There is no difference. They are all the same.......3 parts weak, 2 parts evil. *************************************************************U.S. Senators Criticize Robertson Call to Assassinate Chavez Aug. 23 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Senators Norm Coleman, Republican of Minnesota and Mel Martinez, Republican of Florida, said a call by U.S. televangelist Pat Robertson for the U.S. government to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was ``irresponsible'' and ``incredibly stupid.'' The senators, visiting Brazil to meet with government and business leaders, spoke with reporters today in Rio de Janeiro. ``It was an incredibly stupid statement and has no reflection on reality,'' said Coleman, the chairman of the Senate's Foreign Relations subcommittee on the western hemisphere. ``I met with President Chavez on my last visit a couple of months ago and he related that concern to me, about how the U.S. was out to assassinate him. I told him not to lose any sleep about it.'' Robertson, a television evangelist, said yesterday on a broadcast of his ``700 Club'' program that Chavez is a ``dangerous enemy.'' He said killing Chavez would be cheaper than going to war to remove him. ``We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come to exercise that ability,'' Robertson said. bloomberg.com
