1. Um. Yes. Many, many times....

when Robertson said it, it was all over the news the next day.

3. I believe the OP means have they mentioned it...

in context with all the anti-Chavez bullshit they have spewing today. And the answer is nope, they missed that.

4. i meant now during this media bashing he's taking.

sorry. i guess you're not watching cable at the moment.

6. Oh! Hee hee. Nevermind.

No, I'm not watching TV. Still at work, alas.

2. Isn't he Pro-Life? n/t

[htuttle]

5. No

I can't call somebody who supports both capital punishment and the war in Iraq (not to mention assassinations) "Pro-Life".

He seems to be just 'Pro-Fetus' (and probably just 'Pro-White-Fetus' if you pressed him on it).

7. He's obviously pro-death.

I think there is another motive for him wanting to kill Chavez. What is Chavez's take on the Missionary groups. Some are sent down by oil companies to soften up the native people into signing away the rights to the oil even if that person doesn't have the right to speak for the tribe.

8. the bush administration *tried* to assist in his assassination

they almost certainly assisted in his kidnapping. and in the typical american spirit of destroying democracy around the world, immediately recognized the replacement coup government. or they tried. obviously, as we all know, a populist revolt scared the right-wing motherfuckers into releasing him. the bush administration, obviously, was not pleased. they had fully expected, and sincerely hoped for him to be assassinated.

and that's because we are really all about democratic reforms as some fucking CNN tool just said about fearless leader. i assume they *must* mean we are much interested in reforming any population which gets any ideas about having a little too much actual democracy.
