Pat Robertson:
Simple sollutions for simple people:) Does anyone listen to this guy? Why won’t Republicans and conservatives slam him for his ridiculous mouth? I mean they are always calling for every Muslim to grab a megaphone a denounce violence in the Middle East. I digress because the right only agree with thier party and do not have room for dissenting views within the party.
Ok, ok, ok, ok, let me get this straight -
A Christian is encouraging murder.
That’s just fucked up.
He gives a bad name to all the good Christians out there that know that people like Robertson are bad for the religion.
White Whale,
Do a little bit of reading on right-wing blogs. Robertson’s getting rightly castigated for it.
Which underscores the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans castigate the fringe element of their party while Democrats, as evidenced by the Cindy Sheehan three-ring circus, embrace their fringe.
Brandon, strawman. Explain to me where Cindy Sheehan is encouraging or advocating the murder of anyone, exactly?
Maybe I missed that.
It’s a bit amusing–or pathetic–when Brandon attempts to equate a GOP pseudo-Christian advocating the assassination of democratically leaders with the mother of a dead US serviceman, exercising her first amendment rights.
And let’s be crystal-clear: Robertson is no fringe-figure within the GOP; he’s a leader within the party.
Really? What office does he hold?
SaveFarris: Considering he was once a candidate for the GOP Presidential nomination (even beating Bush Sr. in a couple GOP primaries) and as a leader of the GOP’s Christian Coalition–his leadership within that party is unquestionable,
Even today, we’ve seen virtually every GOP wannabe candidate for President kiss Pat Robertson’s..ummm..ring.
OK, using Jadegold’s logic, Al Sharpton is a leader in the Democratic party. Gore, Hillary, Bill Bradley all kissed his ring. And, no Democratic candidate in the primaries had the guts to call him on any of his BS, even though he was standing right there on stage with them.
Why does the Democratic party endorse a racist, anti-Semitic, riot-inciting con man?
That must make Lyndon LaRouche a leader of the Democratic Party, no?
Actually, PSU, Sharpton is a leader within the Dem party. Of course, he’s not on record as advocating the US kill democratically-elected leaders in other countries nor has he blamed 9/11 on gays and feminists. Of course, Sharpton’s following is much smaller in the Dem party as contrasted with the GOP’s widespread support of Robertson.
I think I remember the verse Robertson refers to:
“Verily I say unto thee, if thy neighbor offends thee, cap his ass.”
That’s in the Bible, isn’t it?
I wasn’t aware that Al Sharpton had called for the murder of someone. Please explain.
…to be reasonable topics of discourse…
Cindy Sheehan isn’t a fringe element. LaRouche, yes. But Cindy Sheehan? The ideological differences between LaRouche and Sheehan are a chasm apart (unless you have it on record somewhere that Sheehan, like LaRouche, thinks Republicans are literally beast-men from Hell).
If you’re going to attack the mothers of the troops you say you support, at least try to stay within the frame of reason, all right?
Would somebody enlighten me as to who the so-called Republican “fringe” is? It’s clearly not people like Coulter, Savage, or Robertson, who regularly consider death and violence against people they disagree with to reasonable topics of discourse but remain wedged in the limelight.
I’ve somehow missed the moment where the so-called liberal media gave Lyndon LaRouche his own talk shows and guest appearances galore.
