Terrorist Threats from Radical Cleric Robertson Should NOT be Tolerated |
|
Radical Cleric Pat Robertson recently made this statement in regards to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez: "If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it," - Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition. This statement by Robertson, along with his recent televised prayer that ‘there be more vacancies on the Supreme Court' (whose justices serve lifetime appointments), unquestionably meet the criteria for the official definition of terrorism:
Terrorism is: “The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence against people or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives.” (JCS Pub 1-02)
The U.S. will not tolerate terrorist threats of this nature from Radical Clerics like Pat Robertson. Our nation is currently engaged in a Global Struggle against Extremism, and that struggle is against ALL Fundamentalist Extremists including those like Robertson who make public suggestions of violence against world leaders or who petition the Deity to smite U.S. Supreme Court Justices. Robertson’s actions are extremely serious, and should not by any means be taken lightly by the U.S. Government or by the American People.

1. Robertson's Terrorist threat |

Yep, anyone of the clerics from "over there" (and let's face it, without his handlers, it is all "over there" for the Chimp in Chief) making the same remark about our leader, and whammo, CNN could not GET enough coverage of it. We'd be putting fighter squadrons on full alert! Uncle Dick would go into hiding!
The hypocrisy is just so damn ironic.
