OT - Pat Robertson?
 

While we're on the subject of Chavez...

What about that dipship Pat Robertson? First he says very plainly something
to the effect of the US government should murder Chavez, then has the nerve
to claim he was misinterpreted. So, to make it sound better, he claims
"take him out" could also be interpreted as "kidnapping".

I feel so much better about an evangelist who proposes our government kidnap
foreign Presidents, than about one who sanctions murdering them.

*rolls eyes*

Should Robertson be arrested? He's stated terrorist threats, publicly. Or
does Homeland Scrutiny only arrest foreigners who utter terrorist threats?

The man needs to be arrested, to show the world that Bush is not a supporter
of terrorism, and that we are capable in our government of living by our own
stated example.

His dog made him say it. Or his god.

Robertson is a civilian, not a member of the military or a government
official, and he needs to be castigated, not prosecuted. He is, however,
a strong supporter of Bush, and Bush needs to make a public statement
saying that Robertson has made a grievous error in judgment.

Several civilians have been detained under the Patriot Act for merely
donating money to a suspected terrorist charitable institution, or partner
of such.

Why does him being a civilian make him more special than other civilians?

I wonder if "God" came to him in a dream and suggested he say that Chavez
needs to be murdered. But, if that was all well and righteous, why deny it
later?

It seems he's not being entirely steadfast, for a religious man.

Now, even if you don't consider him saying someone ought to kill Chavez to
be criminal, what about suggesting a kidnapping? Isn't that conspiracy to
commit a felony?

Or maybe the regular laws don't apply to friends of Bush.
