Pat Robertson is at it again, lobbying for the future assassination of Hugo Chavez

From Hannity and Colmes (video: here)

COLMES: Would you feel better going back to the original comment, that if he were assassinated the world would be a safer place?

ROBERTSON: I think South America would. He has got hit squads. He's a very dangerous man.

COLMES: So you're not taking back the comment. You believe assassination of Hugo Chavez would be in the best interests of the world.

ROBERTSON: Rather than going to war. One day, we're going to have to go to war, I'm afraid, if he continues his policy. You know, but I don't know. I wrote him a letter. I apologized to him.

COLMES: But wait a minute. If you say you apologized to him, what you just said seems to contravene that, because you just now said . . .

ROBERTSON: I know. I know.

COLMES: . . . you think it'd be better if he be assassinated . . . You want him taken out?

ROBERTSON: Not now, but one day, one day, one day . . .
