Why do people listen to these kooks?

because it's easier than thinking for themselves.

We listen to each other also. Doesn't mean we're taking everything to heart and not thinking for ourselves though.

As a spokesman for the Christian Right, Pat Robertson is neither Christian nor right. Hes' a total whacko nutcase crackpot.

He's a nutcase... he lost it a LONG time ago.



The Republicans don't want anything to do with him either... BELIEVE ME.

I expect statements like this from myself. In moderate tones and as a last resort. Overthrowing a legitimate (read lawful) and democratically appointed leader is something that should never be taken lightly, and done only to perserve the strictest set of national interests. Pressure should be applied, but assassination should be off the table. Officially (unless things have changed in the chaos of 9/11) heads of state cannot be assassinated according to US law. Which isn't to say it wouldn't happen in the event of contingencies. Rather, Pat Robertson should shut up.

He's most definetely not Christian. To promote something like realism from that fundie pulpit is just wicked. Of course I've read enough Pat Robertson quotes to know the man is (if there is a god) of the devil. So its not surprising.

[GalvestonDuck]

As a Republican, I certainly couldn't stand by him. He supports abortion in China.

And it's not the first time he's suggested assassination:

I know it sounds somewhat Machiavellian and evil, to think that you could send a squad in to take out somebody like Osama bin Laden, or to take out the head of North Korea, but isn't it better to do something like that, to take out Milosevic, to take out Saddam Hussein, rather than to spend billions of dollars on a war that harms innocent civilians and destroys the infrastructure of a country?

-- Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, August 9, 1999

Anybody remember when he said that someone should blow up the U.S. State Department?

The Official US Policy not to assassinate Heads of State is actually not a law passed by Congress but an Executive Order that must be renewed by each incoming President. It hasn't always been strictly followed-remember Reagan went after Khadaffi.

Kind of...I believe "Colonel" precedes his first name. At that time, wasn't he the defacto head of the Libyan military. That changes the rules some...

Sadly, those who are not Christian may think he is an example of the Christian faith. Oh well. That's the price you pay for freedom of speech. Ironically, now his organization is saying "no comment"!!
