National Association of Evangelicals' Cizik says Robertson should apologize
on The 700 Club
Emacs!
<http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.religionandpolicy.org/show.php?p=3.1.15>Richard
Cizik, vice president for governmental affairs at the
<http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.nae.net/>National Association of
Evangelicals (NAE), said that Pat Robertson should apologize on his
television show, The 700 Club, for his August 22
<http://mediamatters.org/items/itembody/200508220006>comments calling for
the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
During an August 25
<http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2005/08/24/DI2005082401786.html>online
chat on The Washington Post's website, a participant correctly pointed out
to Cizik that instead of apologizing on The 700 Club -- where Robertson
made the comments -- Robertson used the August 24 edition of his show to
falsely <http://mediamatters.org/items/itembody/200508240005>deny that he
had called for Chavez's assassination and to claim the he had been
"misinterpreted" by the Associated Press. Later on August 24, Robertson
reversed himself, acknowledging in a
<http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://patrobertson.com/pressreleases/hugochavez.asp>press
release that he had called for Chavez's assassination and apologizing for
having done so.
After being informed that Robertson had not apologized on television, Cizik
wrote, "I didn't realize that Pat hadn't apologized to his listeners, and
only on the web. Is that right? If so, then he needs to come clean and
apologize on the '700 Club' for all to see and evaluate."
According to Cizik, the NAE represents "over 45,000 churches, 54
denominations, and a constituency of some 30 million evangelicals."

chat with Richard Cizik:
Atlanta, Ga.: Well, no, he DIDN'T exactly apologize. He apologized in his
web page. On TV, he said that what he said was "take out" a leader like
Chavez and that "take out" can mean a whole lot of things. He said [h]is
words were misinterpreted by the media, which, he says, happens a lot. I
don't call that an apology, I call that being a weasel.
Richard Cizik: Hmm ... I didn't realize that Pat hadn't apologized to his
listeners, and only on the web. Is that right? If so, then he needs to come
clean and apologize on the "700 Club" for all to see and evaluate. I'll
have to check this out.
