A propos Pat Robertson, Robin Payne calls this to my attention:
Domestic terrorism is the unlawful use, or threatened use [emphasis added], of force or violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States or its territories without foreign direction committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.
Mr. Robertson is no terrorist: he is, to be sure, an aspiring fascist theocrat, a delusional idiot, and an evil man. Yet his comments--comments!--might qualify as "domestic terrorism" (according to the FBI, and incorporated, I take it, within an Executive Order) which is one indication of how far this country has gone off the deep end.
