All day CNN

[shadowknows69]

has used the Robertson thing to debate the validity of assassination as policy. Half of them are cheering it on.

1. Or so they report it that way

I've just heard too much to believe anything I hear on cable news anymore.

2. I'm not surprised with the way they cheered on the Iraq Invasion and all.

7. Exactly correct.

Welcome to DU, mad okie! :wave:

[madokie]

10. You got it

[Frederik]

3. Do you think the administration

uses Robertson as a trial balloon with those remarks of his? I think that may be the case. Why would Robertson suddenly care so much about Hugo Chavez?

[LSparkle]

4. At least they're still COVERING the Robertson story

Unlike Faux, which has decided "it's had enough" (humph!).

5. This works both ways

If we say it's valid to assassinate other leaders, we can't complain if they start assassinations of ours.

6. can i come to your world

it seems more real than mine lately

8. Isn't it amazing?

That's how the debate has been steered so far to the right. That tactic is used constantly- even against cold, hard, empirical facts.

'The weatherman says the temperature is 65 degrees. Joe Blow says it 10,000 degrees. The truth must be somewhere in between. We'll debate it.'

9. only 1/2

11. CNN alway leans over backwards to support RW's side.

No matter how stupid or insane they will broadcast RW spin on anything but fuck the dems if it is an administation bandwagon issue.

12. Just saw Woolfy

Do a nice piece, a total apologist.

Hell, I almost donated 20 bucks to Patrick after watching Woolf wax eloquent.
