It is ILLEGAL to Call for Assassination, Rev Pat

MSNBC: Forget the fact that political assassination was put off-limits by Pres Ford in an executive order in the mid-70s, and that Sec of Defense Rumsfeld said that Robertson's call for assassinating Venezuelan prez Chavez is illegal: "Our dept doesn’t do that kind of thing. It’s against the law. He’s a private citizen. Private citizens say all kinds of things all the time." And forget the fact that Venezuelan Vice Prez Rangel sarcastically said that Robertson's words were "very Christian" and that the real worry is this: "Robertson is a man who seems to have quite a bit of influence in that country," and that the comments "reveal that religious fundamentalism is 1 of the great problems facing humanity in these times." B/c what really matters is what will the Talibornagains and Bush- who reportedly seeks Robertson's input on major decisions- do to counter this call for assassination? I look foward to the postivie spin that will be put on this by Bush & Co, Rush, and O'Reilley, as they all scramble to defend Rev Pat's bloodthirsty call. At least the Rev Jesse Jackson had the balls and good sense to say this (despite the fact that all other Dems are silent on this issue): "Robertson's remarks are morally reprehensible and dangerously suggestive.'' Speak the truth Rev Jesse.
