More Republican Sedition!

This time it's Pat Robertson calling for the State Department Headquarters to be nuked -- literally.

Robertson, who has been a frequent critic of the State Department, made the offending comments during an interview with a like-minded critic of US diplomacy, columnist Joel Mowbray, who has written a book entitled "Dangerous Diplomacy: How the State Department Threatens American Security."
...
"When you get through, you say, 'If I could just get a nuclear device inside Foggy Bottom, I think that's the answer'," he said.
"I mean, you get through this, and you say, 'We've got to blow that thing up.' I mean, is it as bad as you say?" Robertson asked.
...
Mowbray's book accuses the State Department of endangering the security of the United States by allegedly cavorting with sponsors of terrorism, negligence or incompetence in the visa issuance process and ignoring the travails of US citizens abroad.

"Carvorting with sponsors of terrorists"? More than the Bush family? More than you, Pat?

Mr. Ashcroft, I'd like to report a plot by a radical religious zealot to set off a Weapon of Mass Destruction at a major Federal facility. I'm sure we can count on you to prosecute this to the fullest extent of the law.

1. The administration response to this was...

..."his words were incerdibly unfortunate" or something like that. That's tellin' him!

2. I don't think you were serious about reporting this to Asscroft but

I think we should. It really is a lot worse that other things that I have seen the justice department following up on.

5. If this were a Muslim cleric saying the presicely same thing

They'd already have packed his ass off to Gitmo.

Can anybody say "double standard"?

8. A Repug friend of mine agreed with this exact point that I had made....

A Muslim cleric that says this gets thrown in Camp X-Ray before he finishes the sentence...

10. It's time for Robertson to be frog marched....

If you or I would have made a threat like this we would have been hauled off. Is there no law against terroristic threats?

[LittleApple81]

11. I agree. How can we report this to the justice department, officially? n/t

12. For God's sake, get your priorities straight!

Asscroft was busy locking up that dangerous desperado and overall threat to world peace and security, Tommy Chong.
