Pat Robertson now lying, blaming AP

The best part about this article is not that Pat Robertson got caught telling an outright lie, but that he's blaming the AP for misinterpretting him. Dems/Liberals/Progressives should take note. This is what the Right does - blame the media whenever there's something negative about them in the media. No matter how true anything the media writes may be, if the Right doesn't like it they just blame the media.
"I didn't say 'assassination,'" clarified Robertson during a broadcast of his "The 700 Club" Wednesday morning. "I said our special forces should go 'take him out,' and 'take him out' could be a number of things, including kidnapping."

He blamed The Associated Press for making him seem to advocate the assassination of a foreign leader.

"There are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him," Robertson said. "I was misinterpreted by the AP, but that happens all the time."

However, during the original "700 Club" broadcast Monday night, Robertson clearly mentioned assassination.

"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we are trying to assassinate him, we should go ahead and do it," Robertson said Monday.
