the source and imply that his character is being assassinated, and now,
when faced with the statement straight from the horse's mouth, you
dissemble and imply that it's really ok because we're all just God's
imperfect creatures and it's alright because he said he was sorry.

If Robertson is so sorry, why is he blantantly LYING about what he

August 24, 2005 Robertson Apologizes but Says He Was 'Misinterpreted'
 By LAURIE GOODSTEIN

The Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson issued a statement today
apologizing for his televised remarks calling for the assassination
of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez.

Is it right to call for assassination? he said in the statement.
No, and I apologize for that statement. I spoke in frustration that
we should accommodate the man who thinks the U.S. is out to kill
him.

But Mr. Robertson was far from apologetic on his television show
today, instead insisting that he had been been misinterpreted by
The Associated Press and that he had never used the word
assassination.

I said our special forces should 'take him out.' 'Take him out'
could be a number of things, including kidnapping, Mr. Robertson
told his audience on the show The 700 Club today.

The video from Monday's telecast, easily available on the internet,
shows Mr. Robertson saying of the Venezuelan president: If he thinks
we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go
ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war, and I
don't think any oil shipments will stop. Mr. Robertson went on at
length about Mr. Chávez, suggesting that covert operatives could
do the job and then get it over with.

Political and religious leaders continued to denounce Mr. Robertson
today. The World Evangelical Alliance issued a statement saying,
Robertson does not speak for evangelical Christians. We believe in
justice and the protection of human rights of all people, including
the life of President Chavez.

Who Would Jesus Assassinate?

Hugo Chavez and the Men Who Claim to Speak for Jesus

By RON JACOBS

You know, when I was growing up as a Catholic, I was given many 
differing views of Jesus Christ. Virtually all of them were 
speculative, of course, and as I grew older, I became aware that most 
of them were based on the teacher's particular political and cultural 
persuasion. The Pallotinian nuns that taught me in the first and 
second grades were always telling us horror stories about the 
communists in the Soviet Union and China and had us pray for the 
souls of their children every morning. The Jesuits I knew in high 
school provided me and my fellow catechism students with a different 
view of Jesus. Indeed, for most of these men Jesus was a 
revolutionary. How much of his revolution was spiritual and how much 
was social depended on their level of social and political 
involvement. Being a very political person, I saw Jesus as a 
revolutionary communist with a small c. Of course, there were a 
number of men with Roman collars at the time who were taking this 
perception and turning it into the basis for a social movement in 
many parts of the world, especially in Latin America. Many of them 
were Jesuits.

It is this tradition that Hugo Chavez of Venezuela recalls in his 
speeches and social programs. It is also this tradition, known today 
as liberation theology that the late pope John Paul II attacked 
within months of his appointment in 1978. John Paul II's opposition 
to this perception of Jesus and his works were also part of the 
reason for the demotion of the Jesuit order as the pope's protectors 
and the ascension of the right wing Catholic organization Opus Dei 
into that role. The new pope is even less sympathetic to this train 
of thought. The underlying reason for this vehement opposition to 
liberation theology among the Catholic hierarchy stems from its 
alliances with nonreligious leftists and its attacks on the Church's 
role as part of the oppressive structure in the world of the 
peasantry. Nowhere is this role greater than it is in Latin America.

Ever since Chavez began his popular upheaval in Venezuela he has been 
under attack by the Catholic hierarchy in that country. In fact, 
members of Opus Dei were involved in the failed coup of 2000 and have 
been instrumental in the CIA-funded opposition movement since the 
coup, just as they were intimately involved in the murderous 
CIA-sponsored coup in September 1973 in Chile. Last month, Bishop 
Baltazar Porras, president of the Venezuelan bishops' conference, 
said proponents of radical liberation theology are using it to weaken 
and divide the Church. This is part of a plan to debilitate the 
Church, Porras told The Associated Press in an interview last week. 
He cited a recent forum in which the Church was accused of turning 
her back on the poor, where Chavez garners most of his political 
support. This is a new program led by a group of theologians like 
the ones in the times of the Sandinista rule in Nicaragua with the 
same arguments, said Porras. The argument is fundamentally 
anti-Catholic, anti-hierarchy. (Catholic World New, 8/15/2005) It is 
quite interesting to note Porras equating being anti-hierarchy with 
being anti-Catholic. I wonder how the Jesus who threw the 
moneychangers out of the temple and challenged the Scribes and the 
Pharisees would feel about that equation.

Now, in addition to having the Catholic hierarchy opposed to him, Mr. 
Chavez has incurred the wrath of some in the evangelical community. 
Given the generally political conservatism of much of this community, 
this is not surprising. What is surprising, however, is the vehemence 
of this wrath. Pat Robertson, former US presidential candidate and 
head of the multimillion-dollar Christian Broadcast Network, called 
for Chavez's assassination in a broadcast Monday night. Calling 
assassination  a whole lot cheaper than starting a war Robertson 
went on to say that if Chavez were killed by US covert operatives he 
didn't think any oil shipments will stop.

Of course, for those who keep their religion close to their heart or 
use it only when necessary to cynically convince the public of the 
rightness of their actions, the comments regarding oil must strike a 
chord. After all, that's the underlying reason for Washington's (and 
the old guard in Venezuela) opposition to Chavez in the first place. 
Not only does he using Venezuelan oil revenues to help the 
perennially poor in Venezuela, he is also selling it to Cuba at cut 
rates and making deals with China, much to the chagrin of Washington. 
Chavez and his supporters understand this. In addition, they also 
understand the Jesus who inspired Father Gutierrez and his liberation 
theology. That was the Jesus who said: It is easier for a camel to 
go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the

Clif,

Plenty of sources have now been quoted above, but I will add my thanks
for being the voice of reason and calling for a source. I'm not
speaking for anyone but myself when I say this, but I was simply having
too much fun! Personally, I don't consider it an attack on
Robertson's character because that implies that he had one to begin
with. Too me, he's just another televangelist with his hand
always out and eager to accept your free-will offering!On 8/23/05, Clif Caldwell [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I to sadly have heard the quote out of his own mouth. I have also heard 
his contrite apology. Unfortunately we all say things in the moment we 
later regret. Two things are true in this world.. There is a God ... 
And I am not Him. I cannot speak to another man's salvation. It is 
regretable that men who are called men of God still have some of the 
old nature in them. Fortunately the process of sanctification is an 
ongoing process much like our process here to find the perfect method 
creating good fuel.
May Mr. Robertson consider this episode part of his refining.

[Biofuel] What has the world come to

2005-08-23 Thread Tom Irwin




Hi All,
I just read where the great Pat Robertson leading his flock on the 700 Club has suggested that the U.S. should assassinate President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. I'm mean really when supposedly religious men advocate murder I'm just completely disgusted. BTW the "reasoning" behind this is that Chavez is a dicator (though democratically elected by a large majority) is a communist ( has spoken to Fidel Castro)and has Islamic terrorist connections (he's catholic). Does any of this sound familar?

Surely it's only applied from one side and not the other? If Chavez 
had called for Robertson's assassination, for instance (if Chavez 
were a US citizen that is), but a good ol' boy like Robertson can 
surely do no wrong. Do you think the crazed neocon sith lord traitors 
who've done so much to wreck America and everything else in the last 
four years could end up getting flushed down the tubes by their very 
own Patriot Act? That would raise chuckles for the rest of history.

Yes, Unbelievable, huh? I heard this on NPR this morning and then
read the story online (it was picked up by the AP)
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050823/ap_on_re_us/
robertson_assassination



This guy (I'm being nice) ran for president as a Republican, in
1988. I just don't think his (lack of) morals and right wing
rationale are very different from GW Bush. Some say they are good
friends. He endorsed GH Bush in '88 and is a huge fan of Ronald
Reagan's policies.



According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Robertson

He is a Southern Baptist and was an ordained minister with that
denomination for many years, but holds to a Pentecostal
theology 

Their M.O. is something like Judge, judge, punish, judge punish, ignore
our hippocracy...In my first-hand experience, (I'm from South Carolina)
pentecostals pick and choose the parts of the Bible that they take
literally...



One of the beauties of our US first amendment guarantee to free speech
is that loonies and crackpots like Pat Robertson are more than happy to
hang themselves in public by opening their mouths.



All this right-wing talk of 'taking out' President Chavez couldn't have anything to do with his plans to increase
state control over the oil industry, could it? i.e.
nationalizing oil would decrease profits for big US oil corporations...

Clif,

You are correct in insisting on source verification when reporting anything 
as serious as the report that evangelist and religious broadcaster Pat 
Robertson called for the assassination of Venezuelan  President Hugo Chavez. 
That's serious stuff.

Today I found the following verifying documentation:

Source: The Oregonian, p.A8, Tues, Aug 23, 2005, under the byline of  THE 
ASSOCIATED PRESS, Robertson, referring to Chavez, is quoted as follows,  
'You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he 
thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead 
and do it,' ...'We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time 
has come that we exercise that ability,' Robertson said.

Best,

Bob Adams
