Radical Christian Cleric?

I've never been a fan of Pat Robertson. He makes Rush look like a left leaner, in my opinion. He's borderline nuts, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks so. The really scary part is that he reaches the homes of millions of Americans on a daily basis.

So when Patty-boy gets on his high horse, I get nervous. Apparently, Pat is saying that the US should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. This reminded me of things that I've heard about over seas ... where "Radical Muslim Clerics" would call for a jihad against the American infidels. If you switch roles here, doesn't it seem like the same thing? A highly influentual religeous leader demanding for his country and/or followers to kill someone?

Granted, I don't keep up much with world politics. Perhaps Chavez is a tyrant who really needs to be removed from power. Maybe someone is or already has cooked up a plot to assassinate this man. But when a reliegous leader starts making claims like this, it's just bad.

Shit like this frightens me to no end.

And to top it all off, people who share religious beliefs with a guy like Robertson are having a hard time understanding why Chrisitians are always being made to look like the bad guy.

For a "spiritual leader" of some sort to call for an assassination is contradictory to every word they speak from the friendly confines of a pulpit.

Yeah, it sorta kinda goes against the teachings of Jesus, doesn't it?
