The right wing's absence of outrage re: Robertson
So where's the 'family values' crowd now? One of their own makes an explicit statement in favour of political assassination....and nary a peep from the right. Unbelievable. Forget the fact - long known and reinforced again yesterday - that Pat Robertson has an active propensity for spewing vile, wretched and inflammatory 'political commentary', I'm more concerned with how the right-wing spin machine is reacting. With deafening silence. Has anyone from their side, someone prominently elected or affiliated, come out to roundly denounce Robertson for what he said? If so, I haven't heard it. Robertson puts his foot in it again, this time much worse than his nudge, nudge, wink, wink on camera prayer session where he was jonesing for a Supreme Court vacancy to, ahem, open up. But its stony silence from the right, stony silence instead of a loud and demonstrative repudiation. I expect as much, but maybe that's the problem: I, we, should all DEMAND more from these people. One of our own should take the opportunity during the next available MSM appearance to just light right into this friggin' evangelical quack, and into those who align themselves on the right side of the spectrum, for their complete absence of outrage over Robertson's latest papal "bull"!!!


:wtf:

2. Their outrage is reserved for ...
mothers grieving for their sons who died in a dubious war, not for psychotic so-called Christians promoting assasinations.
Right-wingers make me sick. They are the lowest of the low. Their hypocrisy has reached epidemic proportions.
