Pat Robertson quiere muerto a Chávez

Ese es el problema al mezclar política con religión. El líder derechista evangélico, Pat Robertson, instó al gobierno gringo a dar muerte a Hugo Chávez(El pastor Robertson es un gran amigo del ‘amado líder’ Bush).

En un observatorio gringo de medios, se transcribe la exposición de Robertson en su programa, el Club 700:

“There was a popular coup that overthrew him [Chavez]. And what did the United States State Department do about it? Virtually nothing. And as a result, within about 48 hours that coup was broken; Chavez was back in power, but we had a chance to move in. He has destroyed the Venezuelan economy, and he’s going to make that a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent.

You know, 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. It’s a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don’t think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger and the United … This is in our sphere of influence, so we can’t let this happen. We have the Monroe Doctrine, we have other doctrines that we have announced. And without question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us very badly. We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don’t need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It’s a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.”


La misma página recuerda a algunos líderes de opinión identificados con la visión derechista de Bush hablando de asesinar a ‘malvados izquierdistas’ como Michael Moore, Bill Clinton y otros.

Desconozco cómo funciona la mente del pastor Robertson, pero en lo que menos ha pensado este abuelo que vende su nombre hasta a recetas de comida, ha sido en convertir a personas al evangelio. Sorprende el gran contraste de sus expresiones con las del papa Benedicto XVI en el reciente encuentro juvenil en Alemania. El papa recordó lo involucionado que es la doctrina de matar gente por su fe. Cualquier fe.
