No wonder so many countries...

...think Americans are horrible. Look at what kind of insane statements from outspoken "leaders" (I use that term loosely) make the news:

"Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested on-air that American operatives assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to stop his country from becoming "a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism."

(By they way, I took that quote and linked to the Fox News story so nobody can accuse me of listening to only "liberal" media.)

Hello? Isn't this man supposed to be a Christian leader? I thought the 6th commandment said, "Thou shalt not kill". How can a man who claims to be a foremost Christian leader suggest KILLING someone?

People like him give Americans a bad name. It's unfortunate that only the extreme people like him make the news that the whole world sees.

Mel, we most have both been typing our thoughts about this at the same time. Scarey :)

As a card carrying Republican (ok, I don't actually have a card), I was appalled by his statement. It's a disgrace for all Americans.
