Extremist Cleric Watch III

Posted by on August 24 at 11:23 AM

To be fair, some fundmentalist Christians are spanking Robertson.

Albert Mohler, President of the Baptist Theological Seminary, calls on Robertson to “retract, rethink, repent.” (Saw it first on AndrewSullivan.com) It’s too bad Mohler didn’t stop there. Unfortunately he then calls on Robertson to “restate his position on the issue.”

Huh?

Is there a more nuanced position, vis-à-vis the illegal assassination of another nation’s elected president, that Robertson could have taken? One that passes theological smell test?
