...is a cancer on the planet. That he purports to speak for Jesus, you know that guy who was into turning the other cheek and forgiving your neighbor not seven but seventy-seven times and all that, makes him all the more offensive. You may have seen this already, but it's worth posting:
"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."
"I read your book," Robertson said, according to a transcript of the interview posted on his Christian Broadcasting Network's website (www.cbn.com).
"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 responded: "It is.""
The State Department didn't take kindly to the remark.
Spokesman Richard Boucher called the remarks -- which Robertson made last week on his nationally televised "700 Club" program -- "despicable" and a senior department official said a protest had been made "at the highest level."
"I lack sufficient capabilities to express my disdain," Boucher told reporters when asked about Robertson's comments. "I think the very idea, though, is despicable."
Here's an idea. Arrest Robertson and throw his ass in jail for threatening to blow up a nuclear device inside a federal building. I think that charge carries the death penalty, doesn't it?
I'm dead serious about the arrest part. If some Imam made this remark, he would be in FBI custody right now. Oh, and fuck Mowbray too. He's another lunatic but small fish; not worth my time.
