I read about Pat Robertson saying that America should assassinate a foreign leader, Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela.
Since you probably didn't link, here is an excerpt:
"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability."
"We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator,"
It is not that President Chavez is a really nice guy, or that he wears a beret well, or even that he has good friends. I think it fair to say that this guy is not so good.
But for crying out loud, Pat Robertson, please SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a Christian and people think that you are speaking for me. Stop it. Just, quit.
Worse yet, people think that you are speaking for Jesus. Come one! I don't recall Jesus calling for the assisnation of King Herod or Caesar.
What is fruther problematic is that there is a dollar value attached to this statement. It is liek he's saying, "Hey, let's do war on the cheap and take out the big dog," as if there were some moral high ground there.

He needs to spend more time in his Bible and less on TV. The spotlights are getting to him and making his thinking...fuzzy.
