Who Would Jesus Assassinate?

In Sojourner, the voice of the Christian left, Jim Wallis asks: Who would Jesus assassinate?

It's clear Robertson must not have first asked himself "What would Jesus do?" But the teachings of Jesus have never been very popular with Robertson. He gets his religion elsewhere, from the twisted ideologies of an American brand of right-wing fundamentalism that has always been more nationalist than Christian. Apparently, Robertson didn't even remember what the Ten Commandments say, though he has championed their display on the walls of every American courthouse. That irritating one about "Thou shalt not kill" seems to rule out the killing of foreign leaders. But this week, simply putting biblical ethics aside, Robertson virtually issued an American religious fatwah for the murder of a foreign leader - on national television no less. That may be a first.

And from a friend at work, a few funny messages from the Intelligent Designer:
Says God

Oh, but Christie, he was misquoted by the AP. Surely you know that. Hmmmm ... funny how the tape tells another tale. It's so hard, sometimes, to have your own satellite network.

Isn't lying a sin, too? I'm not a minister, though, so what do I know?
