The Jihadis want to enslave the world. Roberts wants to free Venezuala from a communist.

Pat Robertson was acting in his capacity as a television commentator and offered his opinion that the United States government should consider lifting it's 30 year old ban on political assassination against a sworn enemy of the United States. How many of us have opined that the IRS should be abolished, that the federal judiciary should be reined in, that members of the left should be prosecuted, that the United States should invade Syria, North Korea or Iran, etc. So how is this any different than Robertson offering an opinion.

A Muslim imam orders his armed terrorist followers to kill innocent civilians, and they do it.

I would say this is a huge difference.

The difference between Pat's statement and Immam s calling for Jihad........

Let's see.....Pat is calling for the death of ONE MAN who happens to be a Communist and will eventually have to be dealt with and the other [Jihad] is calling for the systemic killing of all men, women and children of any faith including non-Jihadist Muslims, with the ULTIMATE GOAL being the complete annihilation of all Christians & Jews on the face of the earth, and the complete obliteration of WESTERN CIVILISATION.

Let's see I would guess the MSM would think that to be about a wash, with only a slight edge of outrageousness given to Pat's statement.

The followers of the Inman will take him serious and strap on a suicide vest and go out and kill some innocent people (we have evidence of this occurring). I doubt if any follower of Robertson will do the same, but then you knew that.

Also, if you have not done so, read the statement in the context it was made.

The Iman is using hundreds of young men as human bombs; Pat Robertson is one man stating an opinion. Do you take 'Onward, Christian Soldiers' literally?

The MSM plays the imam's comments unedited with translation, while telling us what Robertson said in their own words. Put it in it's proper context, it wasn't as big a deal as the media made it out to be. I've always thought Robertson was a nut, but I have to say, the media made a big deal out of nothing. Most of Robertson's worldwide audience aren't going to take it upon themselves to assassinate some repugnant thug dictator.
