Perhaps now, many level headed people will finally take heed of what a potential menace the “Christian” far right can be. I hope every Republican winces when they remember how Robertson addressed their national convention a few years ago.
Bottom line is this: This shit is far worse than anything the Dixie Chicks ever did, 100-fold more “unpatriotic” than anything Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore, or anyone else I’ve ever heard has said about our current dipshit President.
Where are all the great “Patriots” from these past scandals? Any one of 'em who doesn’t stand up and disown Robertson NOW, I got one thing to say to 'em… You are the most sorry, HYPOCRITCAL piece of shit wasting oxygen on this planet today, and I hope you burn in Hell right next to Pat (which is damn sure where he’ll be if some latter-day McVeigh among his flock of demented acolytes tries to follow through with some sort of attack on innocent people…)
My father has been in the State Department for over twenty years. He spends his time beteween overseas tours and working in Washington. He was in the State Department building on 9/11. There was a false alarm that day about a truck bomb being spotted near the building. I had to call my dad to make sure he was ok.
Pat Robertson wants to murder my dad. :mad:
My dad was in Nam. I wonder what Pat was doing for his country at that time.
Will this finally be the last straw. Will the political right finally disavow this lousy piece of shit? Will the yahoos that burned those Dixie Chicks CDs rise up with the same vitriol now?
I’m just waiting for Ann Coulter to say that this incident only shows that we should stop pretending Americans are civilized, invade their country, and convert them to Christianity.
Morgan Freeman was one of the first African-American Presidents, and one of the first African-American Gods, in mainstream American cinema (I say “one of the” because I don’t want to be caught by some movie I’ve forgotten).
So the Dixie Chicks can be ashamed of Bush and receive the treatment they did, but Robertson can call for the nuking of Washington D.C. and no one seems to care. Same thing with Novak; if a Dixie Chick had leaked the name of a CIA operative you can bet they’d be in trouble.
If a Dixie Chick had leaked the name of a CIA agent, the first thing I’d want to know is when the CIA had started recruiting petite fiddlers in belly shirts for its operations.
This thread has brought back lots of memories. Sure, it’s supposed to be about tearing down Pat Robertston, but it looks to me like it’s just a place for us SDMB GWU graduates to congegrate.
Damn, HumanStromboli, an RA in Thurston, I hope that included danger pay.
And, well, as far as Robertson goes - he sold his channel, right? More and more, I hope, he will be pushed towards the margins, and soon enough we will barely even notice when he talks.
Yes, please? I’d love to see “Pat Robertson Detained For Terrorist Threats” splashed across the front page of my newspaper in big, fat, bold, 300-point text.
Offhand, I don’t recall Jay Leno ever making any jokes where the punch line involved killing hundreds of people with a nuclear device…
