Pat Roberston stirring up a storm again

[Galahad]

He is an example of why I am much more concerned with what politics has done to religion that what religion might do to politics.

 

[Laugh O. Grams]

Pat made a stupid mistake and he's paying for it. Who among us hasn't made a stupid mistake before? Anyone for Hypocrites on Toast?

Uh...yeah, I've made mistakes, like forgeting to pay a parking ticket, or rolling through a stop sign...but never have I hit the airwaves on a television show that I produce, that espouses Christian values and suggest that a foreign leader be assassinated. There are mistakes and then there are MISTAKES!!

 

[DawnCt1]

No he's not, but with statements like that, that's exactly whose cause he's serving. Those are Satanic sentiments

Satanic sentiments??!! Hardly.

 

[ThAnswr]

One more point, most of you people are unbelieveable. I've seen all kinds of statements and actions defended on the Community Board over the years but most of folks have almost no charity in your hearts.

Nope, not one itsy-bitsy bit for Pat Robertson.

That sick ******* has made many "inappropriate" comments from a smear campaign of John McCain to blaming America for 9/11 and now calling for political assassinations.

Pat Robertson also happens to be the most visible icon of the Christian Right. Cry me a river!

Anda one, anda two (hit it boys)

You can have him
We don't want him..........

It fits the definition of terrorism as well.

 

[Laugh O. Grams]

Now, about the part of him being a Christian and what he should have and should not have said, or done. He may be a Christian, but that doesn't mean he is without sin. I'd like someone to point out one God fearing person who doesn't sin. It's part of the human condition folks. We all do and say things that we aren't proud of and Pat Robertson founder of the 700 Club is no exception (and I doubt very much that he would say otherwise).

Of course, if you sin and Pat Robertson catches wind of it, he calls for your assassination on his TV show!!! Watch your backs, sinners...Rev. Robertson's got a bullet with your name on it!!!

 

[ThAnswr]

I must have been "channeling" because I didn't get to hear Rush yesterday. I guess great minds think alike!

There's a joke in here somewhere.

 

[cardaway]

No he's not, but with statements like that, that's exactly whose cause he's serving. Those are Satanic sentiments

And great minds think alike.

 

[ThAnswr]

Hmmm....

So, is the bottom line Pat Robertson's comments reflect/appeal to his audience?

Works for me!

Pat -- put down the microphone and slowly back away.

bcvillastwo, I'm a BAChristian.
Pat Robertson may be my brother in Christ,
but I still think he's a buffoon,
and worse than that, dangerous.
He's made incredible statements on-air,
knowing & expecting people to follow his lead.

This "respected" man has resorted to immature name-calling
many times, even calling Ellen Degeneres "Ellen Degenerit (sp?)."
She called him on it, laughing at him on-air,
saying, "Yeah, like I didn't hear that 100 times in high school."
As a Christian, I do not resort to name-calling,
and I don't think PR (who does have influence unfortunately), should either.
BTW, I don't support Ellen D.'s lifestyle but an influential
Christian who has maturity of years & the medium to voice his views
should be performing better - PR has really done a disservice to Christ, IMHO.

This says it all.

So far , Hugo Chavez has been democraticaly elected twice. It is the poor of his country who elected him. Did he give good on his promises ? Not yet . Will he ? dont know. But his biggest crime so far is nationalisation of the petrol industry , and that is bound to ruffle a few feathers.

There is mouvement here in Canada to nationalise our petrol industries, because most of the profit from petrol goes out of the country. I just can see Pat calling for the murderof our prime minister in the name of the free market !

Pat Robertson is doing little more than what we condemn Islamic extremists for doing. What's the difference?

 

[Tigger_Magic]

There's a joke in here somewhere.

After reading her other comments... sadly, I don't think so. I wonder if those who support Pat Robertson also supported those (not anyone on the DIS!) who suggested we could straighten out America by assassinating President Bush. What would be the difference? My memory is worse than Swiss cheese, but I seem to recall (in my lurker days) a lot of outrage expressed that anyone would "dare" suggest assassinating POTUS.

Yet someone dares support the assassination of President Chavez.

Again, it begs the question: what is the difference?

While he may have been elected democratically, he took the decidedly UNDEMOCRATIC step of consolidating all power under the executive branch of government. His highly trained police shot 3 protesting students on the streets of Caracas. He has taken to organizing youth groups, a la Stalin, et al. to rail against the enemy, the United States of America", all while building up his armies. He has met with like minded people; Castro, Iran's leaders, China and the dictator of Libya. He is buying Russian MIG's and AK-47s with intelligence suggesting that he will distribute them to his supporters. I believe he is a Castro mini me, a dictator in the making.

LoraJ -- thanks for posting that cartoon. If only this would actually happen now...

 

[tekmom]

Would this be known as a "Patwa"?
