Pat Robertson, a US TV preacher (;-) called for the assasination of Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela, on his 700 club TV show. This is not crazy enough on it’s own. No no, he had to bring in the spectre of the pinko commies and wahhabists, accusing Chavez of turning Venezuela into “the launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism.” This just defies belief really, but it’s especially stupid when you consider that Robertson is head of an organisation that claims to have 2 million members in the US and was instrumental in getting Bush elected in at least one state.
