G. Gordon Liddy on Robertson's call to assassinate Chavez - Faux

[paineinthearse]

Coming up next.

All afternoon, Faux has been framing Chavez as "Washington's problem" and assassination of a head of state as a viable and acceptable policy option.

[Justitia]

1. oh this ought to be good. -eom

[CottonBear]

2. Liddy will probably volunteer to kill Chavez.

:(

[SteppingRazor]

5. He's already told his listeners the best way to take out federal agents...

(shoot for the head, I believe he said), so why not Chavez as well. G. Gordon Liddy is a cheap thug who would be blundering through a post on free republic today, were it not for the fame afforded him by Watergate. Think about that -- he's famous for being a democracy-subverting asshole. No wonder the right likes him.

6. Guess Liddy wouldn't think it unfair if a foreign Gov't tryed to kill Bush

Right? Disgree with your policy. We might take you out. But they might take your boy out too. Isn't that fair?

12. he famously bragged on his radio show about taking target practice at

pictures of bill clinton.

3. Well

If it's a viable and acceptable policy option, for the US, then it's a viable and acceptable policy option for other countries as well.

Faux might want to be careful for what they wish for.

[HereSince1628]

11. Actually, Israel made a public statement to that effect last year

I wish I could find it quick, but I'm sure it's hiding in the DU archives.

They announced that they felt assasination was a viable option even if it was undertaken in "friendly" countries.

4. Rush transcript

Faux: Mr L, Robertson said what is on the minds of a lot of people in the government, are we doing any planning?

L: CIA probably has contingency plans to destabelize, but not to assassinate.

Faux: Rummy was asked today, "we don't do it". Do we not do it because it backfired?

L: No, if we were at war with Columbia, he would be a legit target. Remember Diem? Difficult to be a political and reigious leader.

F: How much of a problem is Chavez?

L. Big, but we cannot go around the world assassinating leaders.

F: Oil.

L. Oil is fungable. Situation should be left to the markets. Intervention invites disaster.

F. What should happen to Robinson?

L: Up to his constituents.

F; Should he be chastized publicly?

L: Its a free country. But he'd should not go to Venezuala or Spain or other countries where he could be extridited. Or he could be kidnapped off the street, highly unlikely.

F: Like Muslim clerics in Italy 2 years ago (smirking).

L: Exactly.

F: Liddy, a syndicated radio talk show host.

(...and a convictec rethug felon).

7. Columbia? do you mean Venezuala or did they say Columbia?

[paineinthearse]

8. I was typing fast and don't recall

They probably said Venezuala.

I never claimed to be a court reporter!

[King Coal]

10. You did a good job, thanks.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Does anyone really listen to that bald-headed stooge?

Do you know who he voter for in 2004?

Answer here. ............................


Wrong, sorry.



Clue: He can't vote because he's a convicted felon.

[paineinthearse]

13. Unfortunately, yes

That is why we we need to keep an eye open.

[Spinzonner]

15. He could probably vote in Florida

[paineinthearse]

14. Freeper's emails to FAUX

To those on the left, think of taking out Chavez as a late term abortion. That will make you feel more comfortable.

Robinson's right, we need to take out Chavez.

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. Great idea, Freeper

Got any room on your list for a few more?

Psssst. The only glitch is they're on your side.

[paineinthearse]

19. ?

:wtf:

[oasis]

17. Jesse Jackson calls on the FCC to come down on Robertson for making

"dangerous" remarks about Chavez. Catch the Lou Dobbs replay on CNN.

[H2O Man]

18. Jesse did a good job.

When the smiling geek said Robertson has separating his political views from his religious ones, Jesse should have noted it was done in the context of his religious tv show.
