I think Pat Robertson needs to re-read the Ten Commandments.

Ibudin · 08-23-2005

I read that as well..what a freaking idiot.

Noted that yesterday. It's an extreme statement, but not out of character for the "Christian" political leadership in the US (Robertson, Falwell, Veira, Dobson, etc.).

Interesting. Fuller quote (emphasis mine):

Quote:

You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don't think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger and the United ... This is in our sphere of influence, so we can't let this happen. We have the Monroe Doctrine, we have other doctrines that we have announced. And without question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us very badly. We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.

So, it's not human rights violations or genocide or crimes against his own people that has Robertson's Depends in such a twitch so much as a "huge pool of oil" that Chavez might threaten to withhold from us.

Christian Hypocracy at its best! No wonder nobody takes them seriously...

Ok, to whoever wrote that, fair enough.

If only that were true. Been around the dinner table in, say, Jacksonville, Florida lately? I have, and it wasn't pretty. These 'extremists' have a lot more clout than you or I would like to think...

That's because these "Christian Political Leadership" people are scum con artists as well as.

In Canada this nut job would have been arrested for promoting hate crimes by noon today.

Robertson's star is setting, but he still retains considerable influence over his flock. Also, the current crop of extremist leaders learned their trade from Robertson and Falwell and have taken it a large step further into the political realm. Enabled by Bush, Frist, DeLay and others, extremism has become a force that cannot be dismissed. If you're not taking them seriously, you're not paying attention.
