[Now he apologizes for the assassination crack.](http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/24/robertson.chavez/index.html) Mighty damn nice of him considering he never said it in the first place. I’ve pulled an eye muscle rolling my eyes so much at this sack of crap. ---

> [@Starving Artist](#): > > Most amusing! > > You condemn Robertson’s call for murder by calling for the murder of Robertson himself (“Same to you, Pat Robertson”), and then claim _you’re_ stunned at the hypocrisy. I’m not a Christian, and don’t claim to hold high regard for human life. I also say it’s unfortunate that Chavez doesn’t respond in kind. How am I a hypocrite? Although you’re right – I’m not really stunned at the hypocrisy. I will be stunned if he doesn’t try to weasel out of this one. How about it, Pat? Stand up and reiterate your call for the assassination of Chavez! Tell us again why this is important to the USA. What’s that? We’ve mis-apprehended your intent? What a surprise. ---

I found my new favorite quote on [this site](http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/quotes/revpat.htm): “The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.” – Pat Robertson, fundraising letter, 1992 ---

Although you’re right – I’m not really stunned at the hypocrisy. Sorry. I guess you’re not a hypocrite after all. I had indeed assumed you were a person with a high regard for life and a moral standard more or less in accordance with that. However, now that I see I was wrong and that you apparently hold no particular regard for human life in general, and that you only seem to find murder objectionable if a hypocritical Christian is calling for it, I see I was in error. I would point out, however, that: it appears to take a great deal more for Robertson to call for murder than it does for you; he appears to be much more concerned for the lives of human beings in general than you do; he only rarely feels murder is justified, whereas you seem to have a much lower threshold (to say the least). Therefore, I would suggest that even the likes of Robertson (of whom I am no kind of fan) is far superior to you in terms of overall human worth, and that the world is far better off with the likes of him than it is with the likes of you.
