Pat Robertson, who recently called for the assassination of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, has a long history of wildly irresponsible, absurd, or just downright paranoid comments. This page has a good collection of them.

RAVING ROBERTSON
Aug '05, calls for assassination of Venezuelan President
Summer '05, holds televised prayer asking GOD to remove more Pro-Choice Justices. Also takes credit for the retirement of O'Connor, saying it was a result of his Summer '03, 21-day, televised fund raising prayer vigil, asking GOD to remove Pro-Choice Justices.
May '05, insists that the US Federal Judiciary and the Supreme Court poses a greater threat to The United States, than Bin Laden and the 9-11 Hijackers.
Oct '04, on the Paula Zahn show, he reveals that he spoke to GOD before the Iraq invasion, and that GOD told him that "it was going to be A, a disaster, and B, messy." He relays this "conversation" to Bush, but Bush says that he also talked to GOD, and that GOD to him that there wouldn't be any casualties.
Oct '03, is condemned by the U.S. State Department after saying "If I could just get a nuclear device inside Foggy Bottom [U.S. State Department], I think that's the answer,' and you say, 'We've got to blow that thing up.'"
Sept 13, 2001, joins Jerry Farwell in blaming GOD for the 9-11 attacks; saying that GOD could have stopped them, but that GOD choose not to do so, because GOD was mad at "the Pagans, and the Abortionists, and the Feminists, and the Gays and the Lesbians."
Attacks Buffy the Vampire Slayer, saying: "Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice withcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 1/8/92
"When I said during my presidential bid that I would only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm. `What do you mean?' the media challenged me. `You're not going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that those who believe in the Judeo Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?' My simple answer is, `Yes, they are.'" --from Pat Robertson's "The New World Order," page 218.
"You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist. I can love the people who hold false opinions but I don't have to be nice to them."--Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, January 14, 1991
"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history."--Pat Robertson, 1993 interview with Molly Ivins
(talking about apartheid South Africa) "I think 'one man, one vote,' just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 3/18/92
"NOW is saying that in order to be a woman, you've got to be a lesbian."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 12/3/97
(talking about Planned Parenthood) "It is teaching kids to fornicate, teaching people to have adultery, every kind of bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism-everything that the Bible condemns."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 4/9/91
"There is no such thing as separation of church and state in the Constitution. It is a lie of the Left and we are not going to take it anymore." --Pat Robertson, November 1993 during an address to the American Center for Law and Justice
If this guy doesn't frighten or appal you, I'm not sure who would. This man is sick, dangerous--and evil.
Thank you and a big hat tip to Al Rodgers.
