Pat Robertson Needs to be arrested

Today, I am listening to the news.. and lo and behold I hear about Pat Robertson telling his "viewers" that the head of Venuzeula, Hugo Chavez needs to be assasinated..

"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has
come that we exercise that ability," Robertson said Monday on the
Christian Broadcast Network's "The 700 Club."
"We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you
know, strong-arm dictator," he continued. "It's a whole lot
easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then
get it over with."


um... hello.. ??
now the Bush administration is "distancing" itself from his comments.. old Rummy saying
"Our department doesn't do that
kind of thing. It's against the law. He's a private citizen.
Private citizens say all kinds of things all the time."


um.. hello???? is anyone out there with half a brain catching on?
the man made a terroristic threat on national television and the frickin best you can do is say "he's a private citizen"? If you or I would have said the same sort of thing, we would be tossed in the pokey so fast our heads would spin, and we would be lucky if we ever saw the light of day again, or an attorney for that matter.

Our own laws are at stake here, we can't say in one breath we won't tolerate terrorism, and then have some high profile person in our country make a terroristic threat and do nothing..
I am OUTRAGED! that Mr. Robertson hasn't been arrested, detained, etc..

if it were ANYBODY else.. they would be UNDER the jail by now
