CARACAS, Venezuela, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday his government would take legal action against Pat Robertson and potentially seek his extradition after the U.S. evangelist called for Washington to assassinate the South American leader.
Robertson, who later apologized for the remark, said he was expressing his frustration with Chavez's constant accusations against the administration of President George W. Bush.
"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." Chavez said in a televised speech.

Sorry Hugo...
Pat Robertson is NOT a gooberment official, and in America, a private citizen has the right to say anything he/she wants; regardless of how stupid it is.

The thug doesn't understand free speech. That's why there isn't any over in Caracas. See the
bloody photos here.

Well, hell. Allow me to call for Chavez's assassination.

The fiery left-wing critic of Bush's foreign policy who frequently charges the U.S. government is plotting to kill him, called Robertson "crazy" and a "public menace." Uhh, Hugo .... you're projecting.

There's plenty of proof of that running around out there.

So "they" are going to bring suit. Against whom?
Pat Robertson the Christian, the Evangelist, the U.S. Citizen?
From intelligence similiar to that of "InFidel Castratore of His People and Their Society" against all who call him out and expose the truth?
More fun at 11?

Well, hell. Allow me to call for Chavez's assassination. Here, here! Second that. And make it slow & painful...say 2 seconds, instead of instant.
Maybe I'll write to my Congresscritter, and ask them to introduce a resolution.

Robertson has something nobody in Venezuela has; Freedom of Speech. Tell little Hugo to go pound sand.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Pat Robertson's speech was by all means protected speech.
Then again, maybe Hugo is implying a campaign to destroy the Bill Of Rights? I wouldn't put it beyond the slime.

You folks are forgetting, this is what Jackass Jesse Jackson went down there and put in his head.
When you put two great minds like Mushmouth Jesse and buttface Hugo together this is the tripe you get.
Jesse Jacksopn should be barred from re-entering this country after leaving and posing as a representative of anything other than his cult , The Rainbow Coalition.

Whats Chavez going to do about it, send the a posse after him?
This guy should have a serious accident.
