I was all set to be devil’s advocate and defend Pat a bit, saying maybe his goal was to save lives because less people would die in an assassination than an invasion, but then I actually saw the footage. He only mentions that it would save money, and says nothing at all about saving lives.
You got communism on my Muslim extremism!
You got Muslim extremism on my communism!
Of course, we must pause and ask WWJK? (Who Would Jesus Kill?)
Does that make Robertson a master baiter?
Well, there went my lunch…
The guys state Republicans are helping to elect to run Virginia are both Robertson’s golden boys and water carriers, especially the AG candidate McDonnell. At least this beats praying that Supreme Court justices will die of natural causes.
Pat Robertson and his ilk are more of a danger to the integrity of this nation than Chavez and Venezuela. Sometimes it boggles the mind how un-Christian some so called Christians can really be.
Why on Earth would you do that under any circumstances, given that he’s called for the murder of another human being, and the illegal assassination of a head of state?
And that’ll stop the US from doing it becaaaa-aaause?..
It’s not the first time this year this self-proclaimed Christian has prayed for somebody to die soon. Here he asks his followers to
But not until John Roberts has been anointed:
If the choices are assassinating a head of state where one person dies, and an invasion where many more people die, it could be argued that the assassination is the lesser of two evils. On that basis I might have defended Robertson, at least partially.
But I’m not, because the third option of doing neither seems to be appropriate, where nobody dies. Plus, Pat himself only said he was for the assassination because it saved money. The fuck didn’t even give lip service to idea that it would save lives.
I suspect he’ll just take a page from Rush Limbaugh and simply deny ever making the statement in the first place.
Ah. Given that invading Venezuela because it’s run by Hugo Chavez is well beyond the galaxy harboring the solar system in which planet sanity revolves, I guess I had a hard time getting my head around that short list of options.
Psst:
It’s not an anime. It’s a live action film, and hysterically funny for its cheesiness.
Robertson is way off the deep end.
And that’s *before * you get to the part where Chavez is determined to spread communism and Islamic extremism (???) across the Western hemisphere.
The Venezuelan VP has challenged the US government to take action against Robertson for advocating terrorism. Don’t bet on it.
I agree, which which is why I specifically mentioned the 3rd option of neither invading nor assassinating Chavez.
These people apparently have some trouble grasping the idea that they are on TV/Radio, and that recording devices exist for both of these. Maybe they think they are just talking to hear themselves talk.
How could I? God commanded him to speak. To suppress his right to issue a Christian fatwa would violate the Constitution, I’m sure.
I was just thinking this very thing. “Christian” whackjobs like Robertson and his ilk will cause more damage to this country than any whackjob terrorist could ever dream of.
Read Ben Bova’s Jupiter. It’s set at the end of this century when the “New Morailty” has taken over the world’s governments (substituting the appropriate religion in each country) and clamps down on anything deemed sacrireligious.
Rush’s pill supply must be running low.
