Ambassador to Vensuella is on CNN NOW slaming Robertson!
Said he isn't an ordinary US citizen and heads about 2 millions followers. He's asking for the US to condemn Robertson!

1. I'm very curious how this will play out
Lets see if shrub can put his money where his mouth is and condemn Robertson as the hate-spewing gasbag he is.

3. The only people who really listen to Fat Blubberson are his mindless
Christo-Fascist bots.

5. Couldn't believe how strong his language
He demanded that the Bush administration publicly condemn Pat Robertson in the strongest language possible. And to respect and see to the safety of their president.

6. Robertson Should Be Put In Jail For His Comments, They Were Reckless and
in violation of US Code and anti-terror laws.

Robertson essentially yelled "fire!" in a crowded movie house, and that's where his right to free speech ends.

12. Robertson speaks in terrorist terms, kill to get rid of what he doesn't
agree with.

8. Ed Schultz just played some of it.
The ambassador was linking (rightly so) Robertson with Bush and how much he was instrumental in Bush's reelection.

9. The Ambassador is to be a guest on Wolff's show at 5PM est.
I suspect he will be just as forceful with Wolff as he was in his Press Conference.

I wonder how ShrubCo is reacting to all this? If they comdemn Robertson's remarks, their RW will be pissed, and if they don't the MSM is not going to let this go!

13. He's calling for Bush to come out of hiding, end his vacation
Edited on Tue Aug-23-05 02:46 PM by SpiralHawk
and say the decent thing: Robertson crossed the line.

Bush must rebuke Robertson. He has violated in spirit one of the Ten Commandments by threatening and encouraging murder: Thou shalt not kill. Ain't no exceptions.

This is not just a USA-Venezuela issue, it is global. The world will watch.

To fail at this much-needed public rebuke, as Bush has failed at everything else, will leave him morally bankrupt - altogether -- in the eyes of the world. All he will have left is his fear and hate-filled domestic 30%

17. If there is anything but silence from lil georgie*
On this matter I'll fall over, this while it's not his base of haves and havemores, it's the storm troopers and while it would appear that the decent people in America are finally awakening, he needs these 30% too much to say anything bad about one of their leaders.
