When I said “take him out” I just meant “take him out”

The big news story is that Pat Robertson called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Yeah, so? As far as I know, that’s only a problem if you’re talking about our president. So what’s the big brouhaha? Well, the same people who think that Robertson is a joke as a political leader are suddenly referring to him as a viable political leader and they’re saying that he’s stating U.S. policy.
Yeah, so?
How can a Christian call for the murder of another human being, they ask. Hey, it was just a suggestion. Sure, loving your neighbor is a good thing — unless, of course, he’s a crazy Venezuelan commie who hangs out with Fidel Castro.
My only beef is that Robertson denied he said anything about assassination. I can’t defend that because I saw the appearance and heard exactly what he said. He did say the “A” word.
So? Liberals talk about assassinating George Bush all the time. They said it about Reagan, too, and a few of them actually shut up when it almost happened. We just have to make a decision here. When we talk about freedom of speech and freedom of expression, do we want it for everyone or a select few?
This cuts both ways. Both sides will have to get used to hearing what they’d rather not hear.
