There was a clip of him saying this (from the 700 Club I suppose but there was no on-screen logo or anything) on the BBC News tonight.
​
When I lived in the States in the 80s and early 90s I used to laugh at people like Pat Robertson. These days I find them a little scary.
​
Actually I find them a lot scary
​
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Actually in the clip shown on the BBC he said:
​
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.
​
Neither murder or take out (but I know he did use take out later on).
​
According to ABC News and others Robertson has just apologised.

Re: Not murder but "do it"
I think you misunderstand.
​
I know he meant murder - or assassinate to be pedantic - but he didn't say the word murder.
​
I was being picky in response to Brad being picky. I used to watch the 700 Club occassionally back in the '80s and '90s when I was in the States - if he's even more looney now it must be hilarious (if you ignore the dark scary side of his ravings).
​
The most amazing thing in all this is that Brad posted two replies to me which I just about understood
​
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
