In suggesting that the Venezuelan dictator Chavez should be taken out by America Pat Robertson was merely articulating what has been for the longest time bona fide American policy against tyrants.
It was attempted with Castro -and who could say that had it suceeded it would have been a bad thing? America sought to overthrow similar dictatorships in Nicaragua and Grenada to name just two. Why all the fuss? Especially as a lot of it is coming from right wing commentators who should know better.
Because he is a christian fundamentalist some of those on the the right from the libertarian wing are uncomfortable with Robertson and this has blinded them to the fact that on this matter at least his views are mainstream republican.
