Robertson Misunderstood

[Alpha1]

AP - Tue Aug 23, 7:55 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Conservative U.S. evangelist Pat Robertson, who called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, said on Wednesday he was misinterpreted and there were a number of ways to "take him out" including kidnapping. "I said our special forces could take him out. Take him out could be a number of things including kidnapping," Robertson said on his "The 700 Club" television program. "There are a number of ways of taking out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted," Robertson added.

Heh, he just had to say: It depends on what the definition of "œis"� is.

I agree.... It's like the whole CBN TV station and 700-Clubproducers and TV executives are all going, "Whoa... Damage control... Damage control...."

The word "assassinate" is rather hard to misinterpret ...

Men of God are human and make mistakes. Pat clearly made a bad mistake here and should appolgize not resort to damage control.

Why are all you people so upset at what pat said?

Do you recall the function of the 2nd Amendment in the United States? TO PREVENT USURPATIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT.

"The tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of tyrants from time to time".
~ Thomas Jefferson.

You are given the moral obligation to do it here, why would it be so horrible if an argentinian ventilated the head of Chavez ?

Hmm. Yes, I can certainly see how "take him out" could be misconstrued. It's not like he said he should be shoved in van, given a new set of "shoes", and dumped in the East River. He would surely have added some sort of hand gesture, like the little gun to the head signal or the slitting the throat thing, if he had meant anything serious.
