Pat Robertson uncontrite over 'nuke State' comment...

http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=60996&ran=137652

remember the little dust-up over his 'nuke the state department' comment the other day? Fundies will be pleased to know he has not backed down, only retreated to safer ground.
somebody wanna explain 'repentance' to Pat?


An uncontrite Pat Robertson called Monday for a purge at the U.S State Department, even as he also acknowledged that author Joel Mowbray had not called for the agency to be blown up.
During a broadcast interview with Mowbray two weeks ago, Robertson said the writer's latest book, ``Dangerous Diplomacy: How the State Department Threatens American Security,'' compelled him to conclude that a ``nuclear device'' should be detonated at the State Department's Washington headquarters.

Those comments, which Robertson made while hosting ``The 700 Club'' television program on the Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network, were rejected as ``despicable'' last week by a State Department spokesman. The rebuke was widely reported by the media.
``I want to correct my remarks,'' Robertson said Monday during another broadcast interview with Mowbray. ``Joel did not say, `Nuke the State Department,' so we've changed. We're not going to nuke it, we're going to gut it.''
Robertson said his earlier remarks had been an attempt to characterize ``in a laughing fashion'' the pessimistic tone of Mowbray's book.

3. He doesn't have to apologize, he is an Imperial Family Crony
Such people are bound by no laws nor ethical constraints.

The Emperor* himself has shown them how to handle being caught in a lie (ignore it, make up six new lies).

Imperial Amerika is truly through the looking glass for those of us raised in the Old Republic.

Amazing how Orwellianism tendiong towards Totalitarianism could seem so "normal".

5. In contrast, my husband had a priest visit his class today
The man spent a year and a half in jail for leaving a red-painted handprint on a wall outside of the School of the Americas while protesting US government policies. He was convicted of trespass and destruction of federal property.
