Christian Extremist issues new call for terror overseas
From the top story at CNN: “Pat Robertson: ‘Take out’ president of Venezuela”:
Conservative wrong-wing Christian propaganda machine Pat Robertson is calling for the US Government to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Yes, you read that correctly, the king of double speak . . . the sultan of hypocrisy . . . the man that also prayed on public television for his god to kill or otherwise incapacitate members of the Supreme Court so that the current administration could load up the bench with judicial activists has asked the US Government to kill a sitting head of state! This is a person that has stood up and voiced his strong disgust with Roe vs Wade, arguing that it is an affront to his Christian views of not harming human life . . . is himself, calling for the death of another human being. To add insult to an already injured national image, he has been a strong opponent of the death penalty . . . yet he is OK with the US Government killing a sitting head of state in another sovereign nation!
Someone must have slipped something into his sacramental wine!
So how is this any different then the terrorist threats being lobbed at the US and our allies by Al Queda? Should Pat Robertson be placed on a terrorist watch list from now through eternity . . . subject to physical searches, required to prove his identity any time he flys?
This type of Christian Extremist view is what has given the US a bad name abroad. Pat Robertson’s comments make an already difficult environment for Americans abroad, even more so.
Why do we not hear a denouncement of Pat Robertson and his views from high ranking Christian leaders around the world? Your silence speaks volumes and leads the rest of us to the same conclusion . . . that you support him and his views! Even the high ranking Islamic leaders distance themselves each time Bin Laden issues another statement, why are you conspicuously silent?
President Bush is probably quietly thanking Pat Robertson for taking the heat off of him for a bit; all the while cursing him for calling for the assassination publicly . . . foiling a plot he was probably already working on.
