Pat, Pat, He's an Evangelical Maniac

I don't have much to say regarding Pat Robertson's recent suggestion that the U.S. assassinate Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, other than to ask if Pat pays any attention to the stuff he advocates via his Christian Broadcasting Network. For example, on his website, you will find the following spiritual advice from Luke 6:31-36:

"Love your enemies! Do good to them! Lend to them! And don't be concerned that they might not repay. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to the unthankful and to those who are wicked. You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate."

I know Bill Clinton struggled with the meaning of seemingly simple words such as "sex" and "is". However, I'm fairly certain that assassination falls outside of any reasonable definition of "love".
