1. How the hell can this be taken "out of context"?

"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. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."

:banghead:

5. crystal clear to me

7. He also said...

"We have the ability to take him out and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don`t need another $200 Billion war to get rid of one strong arm dictator. It is a whole lot easier to have one of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."

Does this mean he's somehow against the war in iraq?

16. Tell him to put it IN context!!!

That's the only way to answer this disgusting repuke spin. Put it IN context, Patti!

2. Said they were having a "Slow news day" so they had to pick

on him. Took him out of context.
They just showed a bit of it on CNN, the look on the man's face he was talking to was priceless!!!

3. Nice try Pat, but it ain't gonna work thins time!

The MSM played that clip way too many times, and people SAW you make those disgusting statements!

4. Yeah this was "out of context."

"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."

6. I've seen the clip on television...as have millions of others.

How can the Associated Press take a television clip "out of context"?

Nice try, you lying piece of shit.

8. Typical right wing response

This is part of their play book. Oxy-Boy just did that with the remarks he make about Cindy. If you get caught making a crazy statement 1. Deny you made it & 2. Blame the 'liberal' media

15. Hi NoAmericanTaliban!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

9. The only way it could have been taken out of context

would be if the sentence that preceded that little fatwa of his was:

"Everything I'm about to say is the opposite of how I really feel and should be disregarded."

10. Robertson is out of his mind, never mind out of context

How could what he say be taken out of context? Wasn't that his stupid face on TV saying it?

Unreal.

[DUgosh]

11. "ba whaaaaaaaaaaaaa their picking on me cuz I'm a "christian" "

[tblue37]

12. Like Rush denying he said Cindy Sheehan was

lying and like Bill Burkett. He now denies he ever said it, even though everyone had a copy of it. These RW nutcases are so out of contact with reality that it enver occurs to them that other people might still have some contact with it.

13. "out of context".

Hmm...let's see. What could Rogue-son mean? That he didn't think we should assassinate Chavez? I think it's pretty clear he thinks we should do it. Robberson went into detail about how we should "take him out".

I was at work yesterday afternoon. Someone turned on the news on the Internet. We all stood around and watched Raider-son talking. We all gasped at his comments. People were just standing there, shocked and stunned. Their mouths were hanging open. "Oh my God, he actually said that?" "Wow, unbelievable". "What a jerk".

Out of context?

14. not going to work..... read this

On Monday's broadcast of the "700 Club," Robertson, the founder of the Christian Coalition and a former Republican presidential candidate, said,



"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. … We have the ability to take him out and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability."
