US preparing to assissinate Venezuela's president Chavez?
 

Pat Robinson.. a Neocon mouthpiece said they should.. preparing the religious crowd for that type of politics.. And if you think religious leader Robinson came up with this one on his own... and never talked about the subject with many of his political friends.. Think again..

(CNN) -- Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson has called for the United States to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling him "a terrific danger" bent on exporting Communism and Islamic extremism across the Americas.

"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it," Robertson told viewers on his "The 700 Club" show Monday. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."

Robertson, a contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 1988, called Chavez "a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us badly."

"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," Robertson said. "We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."

Robertson accused Chavez, a left-wing populist with close ties to Cuban President Fidel Castro, of trying to make Venezuela "a launching pad for Communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent."

"This is in our sphere of influence, so we can't let this happen," he said.

Chavez has said he believes the United States is trying to assassinate him, vowing that Venezuela, which accounts for more than 10 percent of U.S. oil imports, would shut off the flow of oil if that happens.

Robertson's comments Monday were the latest in a string of controversial remarks in recent years by the religious broadcaster and founder of the Christian Coalition.

Last October, during the heat of the presidential race, Robertson told CNN that during a meeting with President Bush prior to the invasion of Iraq, the president told him he did not believe there would be casualties. The White House strongly denied the claim.

In May, during an ABC interview, Robertson ignited a firestorm with his response to a question about whether activist judges were more of a threat to America than terrorists.

"If they look over the course of 100 years, I think the gradual erosion of the consensus that's held our country together is probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings," he said.

Defending his remarks in a letter to Sen. Frank Lautenberg, Robertson insisted he was not being cavalier about the 9/11 attacks. But he also refused to apologize, saying Supreme Court rulings on abortion, religious expression in the public square, pornography and same-sex marriage "are all of themselves graver dangers in the decades to come than the terrorists which our great nation has defeated in Afghanistan and Iraq."

In October 2003, Robertson, criticizing the State Department during an interview on "The 700 Club," said "maybe we need a very small nuke thrown off on Foggy Bottom to shake things up," referring to the nickname for the department's headquarters in Washington.

State Department spokesman Richard Boucher called the remark "despicable."

In July 2003, Robertson asked his audience to pray for three justices to retire from the Supreme Court so they could be replaced with more conservative jurists. "One justice is 83 years old, another has cancer and another has a heart condition," he said.

Robertson insisted he was only calling for prayers for the justices to retire and was not asking his followers to pray for their demise.

In November 2002, Robertson charged that the Muslim holy book, the Quran, incites followers to kill people of other faiths and disputed Bush's characterization of Islam as a religion of peace.

"It's clear from the teachings of the Quran and also from the history of Islam that it's anything but peaceful," Robertson said in a subsequent interview with CNN. "Of course there are peace-loving Muslims. But at the same time, at the core of this religion ... is jihad, and it is to subject the unbelievers either to forced conversion or death. That's what it teaches."

Is asking for someone to be assassinated a crime in America?

Bww.. assassination of foreign leaders is nothing new to the US government...

(the part about the corrupt American owned World Bank is also priceless.. even if it was already known news ...)

ww3 is not far off now

old news, try something newer :sleep

I don't see Mr. Robinson signing up to be come an assassin do you?

:1orglaugh Whatever idiot... let's act like Robertson never said that ... since it happened yesterday..

Oh.. and it was posted today on CNN..

It's ROBERTSON, not ROBINSON

did you feel you had some breaking news? fucking-around-and-business-discussion/507053-usa.html
:1orglaugh

Yeah I did, in your fantasy world.. idiot.. I guess me not reading GFY 24hr/7 = OWNED ? lol

not the US
but the all-mighty religious right-wingers :thumbsup

lol

So that crazy piece of shit represents the US now?

Ok... and I'm ordering a hit against the president of Latvia, Vaira Vike-Freiberga. That bitch has been pissing me off for far too long now. So when is the US govt. going to do this for me? Do I have to wait after the Robertson hit?

What else do you expect SIMPLE simon to answer ...

He is simple minded ....

Funny thing is they've already tried a few times.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

You have some proof of this?

Aside from the Democratic Republic of USA, who else is in the foreign murdering of elected officials ????

PS: Cuba ( Castro ) and Panama now have official cooperation accords.

Is the USA going to re-invade Panama soon ????

This Liberation business is really a full time job .... :1orglaugh

hah.. more pornographers criticizing someone for exercising their right to free speech.
woot.. long live the double standard.

wonder why you never get all worked up when people call for the death of Bush.. hell half of you support it... when you know THAT resulting shitstorm would far outweigh any ripples caused by Hugo Chaves getting capped.

Read my post again.. Robertson is well connected .. He is a known mouth piece of the regime.. You are naive if you think he suddenly picked that out of his own ass without never discussing it with high ranked political friends.. Its a known fact that Chavez assassination is something the Neocons dream about...

Hugo Chavez a violent dictator..?? haha.. sounds like Karl Rove wrote his speech....

Already posted a while ago.

I saw this docu in theatres here...

http://www.filmcritic.com/misc/empor...2?OpenDocument


But why would you doubt that ????

haha.. lets see a leading religious figure in Canada ask for the assassination of Bush... and see if his right to free speech will be respected.. and how the US ambassador will react to it... :thumbsup

Looks to me like people are criticizing what he said, not his right to say it.

Quite a difference on a " nickname " on GFY and Robertson on a nation-wide tv network ...

Now, if he would have said that of BUSH, do you think he would still be talking....

for the record, i think Pat Robertson (along with all religious leaders, of all faiths) is an idiot... and i bet he's forced to apolgize for his comments.

A coup isn't an assasination though.

Because of reporters ( including this crew that was there to do a simple docu on Chavez) of supporters , the CIA backed off ...

He was kidnapped, brought to an undisclosed location ... He was very near death ....

US Central Intelligence (CIA) killers planned to assassinate President Hugo Chavez Frias but the plan was aborted after it became public knowledge and because US President George W. Bush had been unaware (?) of it.

Must love democracy and freedom, USA style :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The US doesn't do that sort of thing any more. We hire the SAS to take care of it and besides, they're much better at it.

If I lived there, I'd vote for Chavez in a second!

He is a peace loving man of god.

I hope they`ll kill this fucking commie Hugo Chavez and his drug smuggler

friend Fidel Castro
