Robertson assassination call 'criminal,' he says
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson offered support for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday, saying a recent call for his assassination was a criminal act and the United States and Venezuela should work out their differences through diplomacy.
The U.S. civil rights leader condemned last week's suggestion by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson that American agents should kill leftist Chavez, calling the conservative commentator's statements "immoral" and "illegal."
Jackson urged U.S. authorities to take action, and said the U.S. government must choose "diplomacy over any threats of sabotage or isolation or assassination."

It's interesting that now Jackson wants the FCC to intervene and says that Robertson calling for a change in U.S. policy is criminal...

Jackson is a blatant hypocrite of the worst order. Siding with anti-US governments, puts him at the same level as the Clintons. The gutter.
If I were a black person, I would have MANY choice words for Jackson who PRETENDS that he represents Black America -- what a joke, most good black folks don't want their name associated with the professional victim/racist promoter.
Pat Robertson is no Churchill that's for sure. Ward Churchill that is.
Ward Churchill called for the assassination of innocent men and women as they sat at their desks in America's skyscrapers. Did Jesse Jackson get his panties all in a wad over Churchill's comments?
Nahhhhhhhhh.

D*mnit. I don't know why ray didn't hit him instead.
Mush mouthed ,ignorant bigot, booger eating SOB
Why aren't the sedition and treason laws enforced in this country?
Imagine it's WWII and a Jackson like POS is negotiating with the Japanese or Germans, what would have happened to this person?
Darn good point. Bitches me out to no end.
I didn't realize we were at war with Venezuela.
If you support freedom abroad you support freedom here, if you support tyranny abroad you support tyranny here, If you support a communist abroad we know damn well what you have in in mind for America. Are you listening Carter, Glover, Penn, Durbin, Boxer, Pelosi and the rest of the Red elitist vermin.
Maybe Jessuh should hang out with Hugo for a while if you know what I mean.
It's probably your imagination... The lower pair were dangerous tyrants. The upper pair are comedians who think they are dangerous tyrants.
How about George Stephanopoulos saying in the '90s that Bill Clinton should assassinate Sadam Husein? If Jesse gets Pat Robertson's FCC license yanked, he better go after Stephanopoulos's, too. [Don't hold your breath.]
Jesse Jackson can smell money a mile away. My guess he is angling to be the paid spokesman of Chavez in the US.
Nice if they come to the same end, although I'de prefer the full Mussolini for both.
Jesse Jackson wears panties? Whose?
I did not know that. I'm not surprised.
I learned here a couple of days ago that CITGO is a Venezuelan company. They definitely will not see anymore of my money.
Cute. Maybe Venezuela is at war with us.
Don't quibble, you know what I meant.
The company is owned by PDV America, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., the national oil company of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Since 1985, CITGO has sold its various products through independent marketers. Our relationship with these people is really what makes CITGO different from other petroleum companies.http://www.citgo.com/AboutCITGO.jsp
I don't remember Snuffleupagus saying that but if he did, I doubt if Jesse Jackson bothered to come up for air to say anything.
Google said the comment is from a 1997 Newsweek column that Stephanopoulos wrote titled "Why We Should Kill Saddam..."
No uproar back then. The double standard in the media should embarass them! [But, of course it never does.]
