Not exactly the Christian thing to say

Pat Robertson on the prospect of assassinating Hugo Chavez:

… “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.” … (source)

On behalf of Christians everywhere, I beg you, please stop talking.

Why doesn’t he just pray for him to die, like it seems he’s done with his “please Lord Give us another opening on the Supreme Court” AKA, let one of them old bastards die prayer.

You know he’s pretty bad when my mother is prayer for him to shut the hell up.

You know, I think the idiocy of this most recent statement made me forget that last one even happened.

Praying for someone to die. That sounds familiar.

Pat Robertson Does Not Speak For Me

Howard, at The Smedley Log, sums up my reaction to this well saying, “On behalf of Christians everywhere, I beg you, please stop talking.”

Funky,

Interesting what kind of comparison that draws, to have Pat Robertson paddling along in the same boat as Larry Flynt. But wow, you really dug for that one—good memory…

That this guy retains even an ounce of credibility as a Christian leader absolutely amazes me.
