When Osama asks for Bush and Blair’s head - he is a nasty terrorist.
But, when Pat Robertson, the founder of Christian Coalition and a former Presidential candidate and someone who makes our rabid right wingers seem like flower power children - calls for the assasination of democratically elected Venezualan president Hugo Chavez - I am sure that he would be reflecting the patriotic sentiments. This is what he said
You know, 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 … and I don’t think any oil shipments will stop.”
Incidentally, the Christian Coalition is one of those entities that screams loudest about the sanctity of life !
It would be interesting to see the Bush Administration bring charges of ‘encouraging terrorism’ on Robertson. But, it will probably be shrugged off as free speech.
Which leads us to an interesting verb conjugation
My country has freedom of speech
yours has rabble rousers
and his incites people to commit terrorist acts.
Does this remind any one of Salvatore Allende?
Incidentally, this was Kissinger on Allende:
“I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.”
