The politics of assassination

Thanks, Faith! That's the funniest thing I've read so far this week! Imagine - poor Pat, all "persecuted" clear down to the bank.....And I don't think the buffoon is worth a bullet, nor would I ever wish one on him. He deserves complete inattention from all of the media.As to the OT: assassination is just as morally repugnant as waging war. Someone like Hitler, Pol Pot, or Idi Amin might have justified the economy of assassination. Chavez, because he is left of center? Because a rabid reactionary TV huckster "doesn't like him?" No.

And wasn't in under the "U.S. friendly" Pinochet, after Allende, that the Chilean Secret Police ran live, starved rats up into prisoners' colons?

Anyone who says the things Robertson said after 9/11 has shown he has no character to assassinate. He's a jerk, wealthy from living off the poor that are too mentally captive to "religion" to see through his BS.

While we're quoting Lincoln:"My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures, have become clearer and stronger with advancing years and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them."
-- Abraham Lincoln, to Judge J. S. Wakefield, after Willie Lincoln's death

.....killing all the perfectly innocent children (or just the male ones) of some neighboring nation whose land you'd like to take.Yeah.
