Jon Stewart on Pat Robertson

By now, if you've been paying attention to the news, you know that on Monday's broadcast of The 700 Club on the Christian Broadcasting Network, Pat Robertson called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

An excerpt from Robertson's rant:
-----
You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he 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.

[Read story and play video.]

How Christian of him! What a man of God! Thou shalt not kill, unless there's oil involved. Who needs justice, anyway?

So the next day Jon Stewart addressed the issue on The Daily Show. It's definitely worth checking out. [Watch the clip.]
