Robertson is not just an ordinary Christian. He is a Christian fascist, just like Bush. They are all dangerous fanatics who aim to make the U.S a religious dictatorship and to force this upon the World.
This Christian fascism didnt materialize out of thin air. It arose on the basis of CAPITALISM, and the most powerful capitalists support it(even if they fight among themselves).
Chavez is doing a great job in Venezuela. Finally they have a President who uses oil profits to help educate and provide medical care for the people among other things.

This is just the usual response of capitalists to left-wing populists who fail to be revolutionary.
Venezuela will be lucky if Chavez's term ends with capitalism - another military coup is likely.

It is now clear for all to see that whilst capitalism is not in a HUGE 1930s style crisis, it is starting to decline, bit by bit.
The slowing down of the US and other major economies, the HUGE budget deficit in the US and the EU, the rise of unemployment in the EU and Japan, the massive cutbacks of welfare in the first world and the energy crisis that has caused most of the problems in the middle east.
Add to this the breaking away of certain thrid world nations like Venezuela and Cuba and other nations set to break away from neo-liberal capitalism and imperialism. Then we have the renewal of the anti capitalist movement in the first world, starting in Seattle in 1999.
All of these problems give the ruling class the need to create a scapegoat to divert people away from the problems we now face. Islam is now the main bogeyman and we can all see how the ruling class has used this to it's maximum potential.
However for domestic diversions we have seen the ruling class attack certain social groups that benefited from the social liberalism fo the last two decades or so.
Gays, ethnic minorities, unionised workers, homeless, drug addicts etc... are now all blamed for the 'decline' of the American nation and of it's society. This gives the ruling class it's chance to attack the welfare support many of these groups depend on, from drug rehab clinics to abortion centres for the poor etc...
This is where the Christian fascists, like Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell come in. Kill two birds with one stone is now the ruling class position on this issue.
Blame the socially disadvantged for 'moral decay' using the Christian fascists and diverting people away from the real source of the problem and then when people buy into this bigotry, cut the socially disadvantaged's welfare support, as the capitalist system now only needs to spend money on IT'S interests, like oppression (the police/FBI/CIA) and war and militarism.
Christian fascism is one of the MAJOR factors as to why such a corrupt, illegitimate regime like Bush's has a large social base of support.
The question is, how do we fight Christian fascism???

Individual terrorism would only strengthen them, as they would then see Pat Robertson as a martyr, and therefore, it would make them more militant. Individual terrorism is counter-productive to its goals, as it alienates the "liberator" from those that he/she wishes to "liberate."
Chavez is actually listening to his people, and the Venzuelan revolution continues to move forward. Every leftist should support Chavez.

Every word that a capitalist says is either a lie or a gross act of hypocracy.
Don't bother getting on the moral high ground on account of their verbal hypocracy, for they know nothing else and can never say anything else for if they speak the truth, then they will only expose themselves.
Let's just work towards their overthrow and in the meantime they can spew all the lies they want for one day they will no longer have the chance to.
[/QUOTE]Is this man a main stream commentator in america?[QUOTE]
Yes he is.
Pat Robertson is the owner of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) and the chat show, the 700 club (This is where he made his comments about Chavez).
The CBN gives REGULAR interviews to members of staff at the Pentagon, DoD, CIA/FBI and even intervied Bush cabinet members and Paul Bemmar, the US 'governer' of Iraq 2003-2004.
Pat Robertson also founded and runs the Christian Coalition (CC), a far-right fundamentalist Christian political group that acts like a PAC in the US. The CC has a multi-million dollar budget and has a HUGE influence on the Republican Party and the CC influences about 10-15% of voters in how they vote in 'elections' in the US.
Pat Robertson also ran in the Republican presidential primaries twice, although he never became a Republican candidate for President. Ironically, given Robertson's support for Bush Jr, Robertson OPPOSED Bush Sr. for not being righ-wing ENOUGH on issues like abortion.
Robertson is the spokesman for ALL of America's Christian fascist movement.

Venezuela Says Robertson Call to Kill Chavez Criminal (Update1)
Aug. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel said that calls by U.S. television evangelist Pat Robertson to kill Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez were ``criminal.'' U.S. Senators Norm Coleman and Mel Martinez called Robertson's statements ``irresponsible'' and ``incredibly stupid.''
``It's the height of hypocrisy for the U.S. to continue talking about the war against terrorism when at the same time you have someone making obvious terrorist declarations in the heart of the country,'' Rangel said.
Robertson, a television evangelist, said yesterday on a broadcast of his ``700 Club'' program that Chavez is a ``dangerous enemy.'' He said killing Chavez would be cheaper than going to war with Venezuela to remove him.
``It was an incredibly stupid statement and has no reflection on reality,'' Coleman, the chairman of the Senate's Foreign Relations subcommittee on the western Hemisphere, told reporters while on a trip to Rio de Janeiro. ``I met with President Chavez on my last visit a couple of months ago and he related that concern to me, about how the U.S. was out to assassinate him. I told him not to lose any sleep about it.''
Chavez, 51, in June said there was ``evidence'' that the U.S. wanted him dead, an act that would violate an assassination ban first signed by Gerald Ford in 1976. The Venezuelan leader has repeatedly accused President George W. Bush of backing efforts to topple his government, a charge the U.S. denies.
Justification
``This type of statement justifies the Venezuelan government's worry about preserving the life of its president,'' Rangel said. ``President Bush said yesterday that his government rejects all forms of terrorism. The reaction of the U.S. to this presumably religious man will put to the test U.S. rhetoric.''
The U.S. has alleged Venezuela is using its oil wealth to undermine democracy in Latin America. Venezuela, the U.S.'s fourth-largest oil supplier, has threatened to cut off supplies.
``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.
``We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come to exercise that ability,'' Robertson said.
Executive Orders
Ford in 1976 signed an executive order that ``no employee of the United States government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination.'' President Ronald Reagan in 1981 extended that ban to include all people ``employed by or acting on behalf of'' the government.
Following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on Washington and New York, the White House said the executive order does allow the U.S. to act in self-defense.
Robertson said that Chavez is going to make Venezuela a ``launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent.'' Killing Chavez, who is currently visiting Cuba, would be cheaper than starting a war, he said.
``We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one strong-arm dictator,'' Robertson said. ``It's a whole lot easier to let some of the covert operatives do the job and get it over with.''
Arms Purchases
Venezuela has bought $240 million in Russian arms since March, drawing criticism from U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who said the buildup poses a threat to stability in the Western Hemisphere.
``We have a lot of evidence, not just rumors, that there are people who think the only solution is to kill Hugo Chavez,'' the Venezuelan leader said June 5 in Caracas, referring to the U.S. ``We've increased our security and intelligence a lot. If that madness happens, they will regret it.''
Chavez, who became president in February 1999, was overthrown in a coup in April 2002 and regained power two days later. The U.S., which didn't immediately condemn the overthrow of the Venezuelan leader, has rejected accusations by Chavez that it helped plan the coup.
In its initial reaction to the coup on April 12, 2002, the White House, through spokesman Ari Fleischer, placed blame for the unrest on Chavez and asserted -- incorrectly, as it turned out -- that Chavez had ``resigned the presidency'' and been replaced by a ``transitional authority.''
Chavez in August 2004 defeated a referendum to remove him from office, allowing him to see out his term until after the next elections, scheduled for December 2006. The referendum was forced after the opposition gathered 2.4 million signatures.
Robertson's ``700 Club'' reaches an average of 1 million American viewers daily, according to his Web site. He ran for the Republican Party's presidential nomination in 1988.

It seems the US is using similar tactics already used against Guatemala, Cuba, and Nicaragua on Venezuela. Declaring that Venezuela is a threat to the US and that it must be dealt with. Any Latin American country that decides to take matters into their own hands and make changes that benefit its people the US refers to them as a threat. That saddest part is that a significant number of US citizens actually consider the arguement due to in my humble opinion the degeneration of education in the US. Not to mention its sanitized history that still teaches Columbus discovered America!

It never fails to crack me up how the word 'communist' is still an insult in the US. Also, it's pretty interesting how you have to be less and less leftist in order to be an enemy of the United States. Communist in the 50s and 60s; Socialist in the 70s, 80s and 90s; and now just plain liberal in the new millenium. Another decade and slightly right-of-center will be a criminal offense.

(pun not intended) There are so many right wing christians in the U.S. now, that this guy is protected from legal response. I also feel that "taking" Robertson out would be a cause for celebration, but do not see it as going very far to accomplish anything. I do not see him as ever getting a stronger following due to it. I just fear the other bible toting idiots who hang on every word of these morons.

Patria is correct. Most of the descendants of Jews/Muslims in Latin America are part of the wealthy minorities and show no real evidence that implicates them in religious fundamentalism albeit its safe to say that they wouldn't be thrilled to see a Leftist government in control.

Perhaps he meant that US imperialism will soon be on the decline, in Latin America atleast. Such radically right wing comments will only fuel the revolutionary activity in Latin america, and possibly around the world. What Robertson said is the truth of US foreign policy: if someone disagrees with the American Empire, he/she must be killed for their treachery.
This comment was especially unwise as Venezuela supplies some 8% of the US's petroleum.
With a few more nations, do you thin, perhaps, that a new socialist bloc may be created in Latin America, and Venezuela can stop trading with the US? Venezuela and Cuba already seem committed enough. PErhaps Robertson realizes, as we do, that the South American continent will soon become a hotbead for revolution...
BTW, don't expect anything better from a fascist like Robertson. In 1992, he said feminism causes women to kill their children and practice witchcraft. The man is insane!!

I think that if things go right, Venezuela will send shockwaves all over the world. There is not a single stable capitalist regime in Latin America! The US won't be happy about that, and they won't be able to defeat them by invading (they are losing to the determined popluation of Iraq. Imagine them taking on a more numerous and far more determined population of much of Latin America! They are already too divided up with Iraq to last!). Heck, with the changes going on in China, Venezuela could send shockwave that would change the situation over there into one favorable for genuine socialism. I would not be surprised if Venezuela, under the right conditions, ends up sending the massive shockwaves that the October Revolution did. With the world-wide crisises of capitalism, leaders not listening to their people (with the exception of Chavez, for the most part), etc., I would also say that if such shockwaves happened, that the international situation for socialism will be much more favorable than from 1917 to the 1920's, especially seeing how extreme forms of capitalist dictatorship (Fascism, for a great example) have been exposed and are now despised by just about anyone.

Tell me about it! That would just give the Left more fuel. The Right keeps finding itself in one difficult situation after another. They cannot resort to an extreme form of reactionary captialist government (such as how the German and Italian Bourgeoisie handed over power to madmen like Hitler and Moussolini (sp?)), given that there is no mass basis for that to happen. The masses are already in an embryonic form of anti-capitalism over here in the USA (they hate what Bush is doing, and he is doing capitalist things; he is just a figurehead of the Borugeoisie dictatorship. Their current lack of knowledge of what is really going on is what is preventing them from seeing that Bush is just a figurehead acting in the name of the problem. It is only a matter of time before they wake up and start seeing the truth. They have a long way to go in terms of realizing what is going on, but a lot has changed in the attitude of the masses in the past five years. I would argue that the attitue of the masses has changed much more in the past five years than in the thirty years that preceded those five years!

I totally agree. I believe the whole "Buck Fush" and "stop the war' and the whole anti-Bush stuff that is going on in the U.S. now is just the beginning. People are just barely beginning to see what is going on, and more and more people are speaking out... Imagine what the Left movement will be like in the future! Also, you are right, we have entered a most controversial and turbulent period of awakening in our time, comrades! This is the war of our generation!

It is amazing to see the rapid changes going on. I mean, before these five years, virtually no one seemed to even question the policies of the US government. Now the anti-capitalist feelings are starting to spread like wildfire. The US Bourgeoisie are pretty screwed right now, it seems, given that they don't have the means to invade Venezuela, and that the assassination of Chavez would more than likely just drive the masses that support him to further revolutionary action.

An apology isn't enough. If the US really is having a War on Terrorism, they damn well better have it apply to everyone, not just the Muslims.
Sadly, this won't happen, and the most you'll get out of the government is quotes like "That is against the law... we don't do that sort of thing" - Rumsfield. The closest I've heard to an "apology" was someone in the US congress I believe saying that Robertson's talk was "inappropriate". That is all though.
You have to understand, this government was elected by such followers as Robertson and his crew. Nothing will happen to him, and it will all go under "he has the freedom to say whatever he wants". However, this is complete hypocracy as anyone with a mind could grasp. Robertson DOES --scary as it is.. that's why Bush was re-elected-- have sway in the voting America. That in itself is reason enough to put him responsible for terrorist speach.

I think that it must be remembered that chavz isnt a one man band. he's the head of a mass mvoement. If they kill chavez there will be another socialist to take his place.

Yes, but he may not have the charisma or name recognition. Plus chavez's picture will be on as many billboards and t-shirts as che's. Nobody will ever forget him.
And has anyone heard that robertson prayed to god on-the-air, to smite as many supreme court justices as possible so more christians can be appointed by bush? He may not have been so blunt though.

But not like Chavez. Even the his Vice prefers him in office, he's just a man with a true virtue, that what he does for the people, he actually does instead of saying I will this. That's like trying to find another Che. Yea, there is another, but that other's believes can be faulty.

Wow, this guy is a douchebag.
I turned on to Fox News just to see what the fuck they were talking about. It's no surprise they're pretty anti-hugo. This one dude on it made a fantastical claim that Hugo gave one million dollars to Al-Qaeda.
I can't believe how much trash gets on the air.

Calling people terrorists and and demonizing foreigners is fox news's favorite passtime along with talking for hours about missing person cases and compiling evidence that all of society will suddenly collapse in a demonic-leftist deviation from the establishment.
