Thou Shalt Not Kill--Revised


From a CNN report:

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."

And so we add Chavez to Pat's ever-growing "Homicide Wish List," after Supreme Court Justices, the State Department, Islam and people who don't already know what they want to eat when they use the drive-thru at Chick-fil-A.

How very Christ-like of him. How does that quote go: "Do unto others as I would do unto all of you except the ones who piss me off"?

Speaking of hurricanes, back in the 80s ol' Pat prayed for hurricane Diana to not hit Virginia. It didn't, and went up north and killed a few Yankees instead. Very noble of Mr. Batshit, don't you think.

And, thus, Pat Robertson further cements his place in history as a total douchebag.

If Pat were Muslim he would be an officer of al-Qaeda...

This whole thing is very strange from here in the UK (and for that matter the rest of Europe), mainly because we're all terribly fond of President Chavez; takes care of the poor, invests in the infrastructure, values education, believes in free good quality healthcare, etc.
