In an article in this morning's Washington Times (via Drudge), Pat Robertson has this to say about Muslims in the United States: "I have never advocated ferreting out Muslims in America. They are citizens like I am. But if they are funneling money to Hamas, organizing terrorist cells or holding anti-American rallies, they ought to be deported."

Huh? I was under the impression that we were arresting people who finance and organize terrorist activities, not giving them bus fare home. And while organizing anti-American rallies is certainly odious behavior, how (and to where) do you deport American citizens for exercising their constitutionally protected freedoms of speech and assembly?

It's yet another example of how 9-11 has turned American politics on its head, I guess; I don't know whether to criticize the good Reverend from the left or the right.
