From Canoe News:
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson has called on-air for American operatives to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying it would be "cheaper than starting a war . . . and I don't think any oil shipments will stop."
"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," Robertson said Monday on the Christian Broadcast Network's The 700 Club.
"We don't need another $200-billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator," he said of the democratically elected Chavez, who is a frequent critic of U.S. foreign policy.

Robertson has made controversial statements in the past. In October 2003, he suggested that the U.S. State Department be blown up with a nuclear device. He has also said that feminism encourages women to "kill their children, practise witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
What a fun guy Pat Robertson is. Darn those democratically elected leaders who criticize the US! How dare they? They must be dictators worthy of being shot in the head.
Note to Pat: time to retire.

Robertson's an idiot, no doubt, but after last year's recall fiasco, it's stretching the point to call Chavez 'democratically elected'.
