Pat Robertson is the right-wing banana-republic TV evangelist who called for the assassination of the democratically elected president of Venezuela. Unlike George W. Bush, Hugo Chavez rightly identified Robertson as a "public menace." But then, Robertson is a public menace who delivers votes to dubya.
Chavez suggested that his country might also attempt to extradite Pat Robertson. Oh please. Can someone get a petition going or find out how we can donate to the Oh Please, Extradite Pat Robertson fund? Maybe we can offer a special deal by throwing in Fred Phelps: Extradite one clinically insane homophobe, get another certifiable homophobe for free! Oh I forgot, Canada wants Phelps.
From the BBC:
"I announce that my government is going to take legal action in the United States... to call for the assassination of a head of state is an act of terrorism," Mr Chavez said in a televised speech.
"If the US government does not take action that it must take, we will go to the United Nations and the Organization of American States to denounce the US government," Mr Chavez said.
Mr Chavez, who has frequently charged that the US are plotting to kill him, said Mr Robertson was "crazy" and "a public menace".
The Venezuelan leader has said that US President George W Bush will be to blame if he is attacked.
A week ago, Pat Robertson told viewers of his influential TV show, the 700 Club, that the US should act on Mr Chavez's recurrent complaints that the US was allegedly trying to assassinate him.
The two nations have recently broken off co-operation on combating illegal drugs, though America still buys Venezuelan oil. The nation is the world's fifth-largest producer.
