Righteous or Right?

I'm so outside of the loop as far as current events go, yet I have, of course, heard of the recent Pat Robertson scandal. I have nothing to add to the conversation, but Dave Lily has put up a brief angry post on the subject that I think is worth linking to here.

"To claim authority for his own statements from the actions and teaching of Bonhoeffer left me aghast, pissed off, helpless, speechless, FULL of speech (angry, mostly swear words unfortunately), and likely dozens of other things I didn't even notice. How dare he? Where does he get off?

Bonhoeffer became involved with an assassination attempt on Hitler's life because there are some things greater than one's country. Robertson called the Chavez's assassination because nothing is."
