Assassinations Remarks Not New." ... "The Rev. Pat
Robertson's suggestion that the United States assassinate Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez was the latest in a long line of incendiary remarks by the
religious broadcaster, including at least one other call to "take out"
oppressive world leaders." ... "Following the Sept. 11 attacks, he said
that "God Almighty is lifting his protection from us" because "we have
insulted God at the highest level of our government," allowing things like
abortion and pornography and barring school prayer." ... "And in launching
a 21-day "prayer offensive" in 2003 to pray for three justices to leave
the U.S. Supreme Court after it had decriminalized sodomy, Robertson said:
"We ask for miracles in regard to the Supreme Court."" ... "One justice
was 83 years old and two others had serious ailments, he noted." -By

reacts to Robertson statement: Televangelist wants
Chavez killed; White House calls idea 'inappropriate'." ... ""The ball
is in the U.S. court, after this criminal statement by a citizen of that
country," Rangel said. "It's a huge hypocrisy to maintain this discourse
against terrorism and at the same time, in the heart of that country, there
are entirely terrorist statements like those."" ... "Rangel called Robertson
"a man who seems to have quite a bit of influence in that country," adding
sarcastically that his words were "very Christian." He said the comments
"reveal that religious fundamentalism is one of the great problems facing
humanity in these times."" -MSNBC

- "Robertson
Is Pilloried for Assassination Call." ... "The conservative
Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson has made news over the years for making
explosive comments on his daily television program lambasting everything
from feminists and "activist" judges to the United Nations and Disneyland."
... "Now Mr. Robertson has set off an international firestorm by saying
that the United States should assassinate President Hugo Chávez
of Venezuela. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war, and I don't
think any oil shipments will stop," Mr. Robertson said on his program on
Monday." ... "Today, the vice president of Venezuela denounced Mr. Robertson
for making "terrorist statements," and in Washington a spokesman for the
State Department called the comments "inappropriate."" -By

Says Robertson Call to Kill Chavez Criminal (Update1)."
..."Venezuelan Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel said that calls by U.S.
television evangelist Pat Robertson to kill Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
were ``criminal.''" ... "``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,'' Robertson said of Chavez. ``This is a dangerous
enemy to our south controlling a huge pool of oil.''" ... "Robertson, 75,
made the comments on Chavez yesterday on his program, an audiotape of which
was posted on the Web site of the Christian Broadcasting Network, founded
by the cleric in 1960 and based in Virginia." -Peter

Judges worse than Al Qaeda." ... "Federal judges
are a more serious threat to America than Al Qaeda and the Sept. 11 terrorists,
the Rev. Pat Robertson claimed yesterday." ... "Confronted by [ABC's George]
Stephanopoulos on his claims that an out-of-control liberal judiciary is
the worst threat America has faced in 400 years - worse than Nazi Germany,
Japan and the Civil War - Robertson didn't back down." ... ""Yes, I really
believe that," he said. "I think they are destroying the fabric that holds
our nation together."" -By Derek Rose with contributions

Robertson - "Bush
Predicted No Iraq Casualties, Robertson Says." ...
"The Rev. Pat Robertson said President Bush dismissed his warning that
the United States would suffer heavy casualties in Iraq and told the television
evangelist just before the beginning of the war that "we're not going to
have any casualties."" ... "Robertson related the conversation during an
interview with CNN late Tuesday. He said he spoke to Bush before the invasion
of Iraq in March 2003 and urged him to prepare the nation for heavy casualties.
While Bush's response was a mistake, Robertson said, God has blessed the
president anyhow." -By Alan Cooperman-WashingtonPost
