Pat Robertson said Monday on the 700 Club, "If [President Hugo Chavez] 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." Pat Robertson is a Christan Televangelist who has also had many other controversial remarks. According to CNN:

In May, during an ABC interview, Robertson ignited a firestorm with his response to a question about whether activist judges were more of a threat to America than terrorists.
"If they look over the course of 100 years, I think the gradual erosion of the consensus that's held our country together is probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings," he said.
The Bush Administration has stated that he has the right to his own opnion, but the Bush Administration does not share his views.
