We are on bad terms with Venezuela, which is what makes Robertson's comments asinine. But the comment was targted towards an enemy state, led by a guy who just spent his weekend with Fidel Castro denouncing the U.S. as the biggest terrorist nation in the world.

It shows that Robertson is an idiot (which we knew), and that he lacks tact. it isn't the same however as a citizen of this nation saying we should, he should, or somebody should kill an American official. You'd probably be arrested, and then you'd probably get sent home if you made some random comment about a British diplomat, or someone.

However, this isn't the first time Robertson has done this, come to think of it. He also told CNN in 2004 that God told him Bush would win in a blowout. He told the press that Bush told him there'd be no casualties in the Iraq war. I think he said something about blowing up Saudi Arabia, or something. He called Islam a scam ripping off Jewish faith.

To put it shortly-- both comments were made by blowhards who like attention.
