shivving chavez

* heres xymphora on chavez/robertson - xymph reckons rumsfeld is lying when he says that assassination is illegal.

* billmon has a terrific piece on robertson/chavez - in it he quotes this awesome wingnuttery from TheConservateVoice:

"I would assume . . . that Robertson has already prayed for Chavez, particularly for the latter's conversion to the Light of God. And I would also presume that Robertson has done good toward Chavez in warning him in some way that he, Chavez, will answer to Creator God at the judgment for his cruel schemes.

Then with praying for Chavez and doing good toward Chavez by warning him of his mean ways, Robertson has done all he can do as a mortal among mortals. With that, Robertson then would warn Chavez that he might be setting himself up for assassination. That in itself is another Robertson move as a Christian to caution Chavez to change his ways and so work for the good of mankind."
