More On Pat Robertson

Check
out this freaking senile old weasel! On CNN.com today there's an
article in which Robertson claims:
"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, but that happens all the time,"
Didn't
say assassination, huh? Watch this video, then continue
reading.Done? Good. It doesn't get any
clearer than that. What the hell is this old fool thinking? We have him
ON VIDEO
for Christ's sake. He's outright
LYING to
the press about his
comments."If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it," said Robertson on Monday's program. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."
If
you think I'm messing with the video, see CNN's version in the article linked
above.This moron is a complete and
utter lunatic. Anyone who supports this idiot has seriously got a screw loose.
He's called for dropping a nuke on the state department, indirectly called for
the deaths of three supreme court justices, and now this. This guy has lost his
mind, I believe literally. Someone needs to get him back to his nursing home and
crank up the meds.And to think this
man was a semi-serious contender for the Republican presidential nomination back
in '88. Very scary.Update
later in the afternoon: This guy really is some
piece of work. First we have "If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I
think we really ought to go ahead and do it." Then the very next day, "I didn't
say 'assassination'," despite unambiguous video evidence to the contrary. Now we
have "Is it right to call for assassination? No, and
I apologize for that statement." Well, gee, isn't that special. I'm glad that
one of this country's so-called religious leaders clarified his position on
assassinating other heads of state. What a jerk.
