Pat Robertson Calls for Assassination of Hugo Chavez

From AP:

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson called on Monday for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling him a "terrific danger" to the United States.

Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition of America and a former presidential candidate, said on "The 700 Club" it was the United States' duty to stop Chavez from making Venezuela a "launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism."

The incredible, nebulous and ominous entanglement of religion and politics worsens by the day. CBN news broadcasts followed by slanted Robertson commentary use to just be annoying but now it is threatening. The emphatic irony is that Robertson is calling for extremism to combat the possibility of extremism.
