Stark Raving Robertson

Pat Robertson supports pre-emption: pre-emptive war and pre-emptive assasination. He shouldn't mind, then, if God just so happened to pre-empt his sorry ass--maybe not now, but one day--before he becomes too much of a danger to himself and the rest of the world. He has definitely lost it.

Media Matters - Robertson again calls for Chavez's assassination: "Not now, but one day"

During the February 2 edition of Fox News' Hannity Colmes, Christian Coalition founder and 700 Club host Pat Robertson reiterated his call for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

When co-host Alan Colmes asked Robertson, "[I]f he [Chavez] were assassinated, the world would be a safer place?" Robertson answered, "I think South America would."

When Colmes later pressed Robertson, asking, "Do you want him [Chavez] taken out?" Robertson retorted, "Not now, but one day, one day, one day." Earlier, Colmes had asked, "Should Chavez be assassinated?" Robertson explained that "one day," Chavez will "be aiming nuclear weapons; and what's coming across the Gulf [of Mexico] isn't going to be [Hurricane] Katrina, it's going to be his nukes." Co-host Sean Hannity agreed that "the world would be better off without him where he [Chavez] is, because he is a danger to the United States."
