Pat Robertson, host of Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club
and founder of the Christian Coalition of America, called for the
assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
From the August 22 broadcast of The 700 Club:
ROBERTSON: There was a popular coup that overthrew him . And what did
the United States State Department do about it? Virtually nothing. And
as a result, within about 48 hours that coup was broken; Chavez was
back in power, but we had a chance to move in. He has destroyed the
Venezuelan economy, and he's going to make that a launching pad for
communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent.
You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he
thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to
go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I
don't think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific
danger and the United ... This is in our sphere of influence, so we
can't let this happen. We have the Monroe Doctrine, we have other
doctrines that we have announced. And without question, this is a
dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that
could hurt us very badly. 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's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives
do the job and then get it over with.
