Oh, I See, It’s All Our Fault

“If he thinks we’re trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it... We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability.”

Um, seems pretty damned clear to me. But somehow, we’ve all just misinterpreted Pat Robertson’s call to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Hey, you can argue as to whether or not his comments were justified, but to claim — not that he simply misspoke, or that he now regrets his comments — but that somehow it’s all our fault for “misinterpreting” him is just rank idiocy.
