Televangelist Robertson calls for assassination of Hugo Chavez
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
There is a wealth of information about the human rights violations and various infractions of Chavez - Basically, he's a flamethrower-using, dissident-squashing dictator.
Details of the "Venezuelan free press" and the "democratic civil rights" imposed by Chavez can be obtained from any major humanitarian organization.
I don't give a fuck whether or not you like the US or US policies. Chavez is not a bold and brave leader by any means. He is just as willing to jail you for speaking out or use a huge political, judicial, and military apparatus to keep dissent down.
Whether or not he is socializing resources or appealing to the poor is another matter entirely. Any person who jails people for disagreeing is a cunt and a fuck. Grand notions of Chavez's Marxism do not erase his history, just as with most of the other parties and rulders in power in S.A., of human rights abuses.

He's more than just a average citizen; he is the founder of the Christian Coalition, an organization of 2 million plus people which was vital in catapulting Bush to the Republican nomination of 2000 and pumping millions of dollars into both election campaigns, and not to mention he was the republicans presidential candidate in 1992.
"Human right" group lead by Jose Vivanco, is a puppets led by the US policy, in Venezuela. Vivanco stated it was ok for groups in his country to accept foreign money to fund the opposition. Bush and his regime thinks its ok to do this in other countries, but what big of an out cry it would make in the US, of a political party did the same thing.

sure, but he's still not a member of the government. It was a stupid thing to say, and he shouldn't be saying shit like that. However, he still has the right to say it; it isn't illegal. If a covert operation was carried out, and Chavez was executed that would be illegal. But Robertson saying he should be killed isn't.
@ Coldblooded, I'm by no means a fan of Rumsfield, I was just stating that with this subject I hafta agree.

So if an islamic religious leader, for example, were to get on TV and call for the assasination of the president of the united states, or any country for that matter, it's ok because he's a private citizen?
Advocating terrorism and enciting others to it is ok as long as you're not actually doing the terrorism yourself? What's up with this Osama guy then?

Yeah I got that DVD and I've sent copies to several members of the siccness. You can also download the video on the sticky "VIDEOS..." thread, the last link I posted, www.chomskytorrents.org
@Jae iLL,
I have no idea if what he said is illegal or not, I’m simply arguing that he is a lot more than a normal citizen (based on the fact he leads the Christian. Coalition, he is a staunch Bush supporter, pumps millions into the Republican Party, etc.).

As far as I'm concerned, yes, that's ther perogative. Just like when ICE-T (who had a lot of influence on young minds) released the song cop killer. I think he had the right to say what he wanted to say. Sure, perhaps he was a bit more justified in his reasoning than Robertson, but it's still his right in this country at least.
Osama? I have nothing against Osama Bin Laden.. I have no reason to believe he was even behind those towers falling on Sep. 11th. I heard of him before bombing those towers, and he admitted it. However, I have no reason to believe he did it this past time. As far as him calling for the removal of US troops from the Muslim holy lands, I have no problem with that either... so I'm not sure what you mean

Its not like this dude went out and said, "700 club viewers go wack that fuck head"..He made a suggestion to the U.S. to go and take him out...He is allowed to say that..The only argument for the other side is, maybe his comments might trigger some anti-american sentiment and may comprimise american security...But i believe that he should be able to say whatever he wants, If he was residing in Venezuala then there would be a problem.
