Robertson: Chavez remarks misinterpreted
Broadcaster says 'take him out' didn't mean assassination

Wednesday, August 24, 2005; Posted: 1:40 p.m. EDT (17:40 GMT)

(CNN) -- Conservative religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said
Wednesday that his remarks about the removal of Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez were taken out of context and that he never called for the
killing of the Latin American leader.

"I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take
him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including
kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from
power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted by the AP [Associated
Press], but that happens all the time," Robertson said on "The 700
Club" program.
