Supremacists

If there is a MOST sickening group of the large illness that is the chest-thumping, xenophobic, American Right, it is the the group that sees America as the "Shining City on a Hill" which naturally gives it a right to do whatever the fuck it wants.

Including committing murder.

Robertson is just the public voice of those who believe that ANYTHING in America's political interests, short or long-term, is okay, even if it runs counter to what we as a nation purport to stand on.

In the post World War II era both parties were rife with this thought. The Democratic Party to its credit, and political detriment, purged itself of this line as being acceptable at about the same time the Dixiecrats went to the GOP.

The Washington Post has the rundown.

The sad fact is that many right-wingers detest Robertson's language, but more than approve of the idea -- the idea of killing for imperial purposes as being moral.

How is that morally superior to the idea killing on the basis of race, religion, gender, or orietation?
