Jackson Kissy-Faces With Chavez
During a speech to the Venezuelan National Assembly, Jesse Jackson, noted diarrhea-mouth sufferer, acted as if there was some legitimacy to Pat Robertson's comments regarding assassinating Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez.
Jackson must have thought Robertson lived in a Socialist dictatorship like Venezuela because he called the televangelist's comments "illegal." They may have been stupid and poorly thought out, but last time I checked, political speech is not illegal in this country.
Jackson foamed that the US must choose "diplomacy over any threats of sabotage or isolation or assassination." (source) In so doing, he further legitimized Chavez' efforts to tie Robertson's comments to US foreign policy which is, of course, absurd.
