lawnboy1977 Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Pat Robertson represents everything wrong with the religious foundation in the world, hypocrisy!! Does God want us to do assassinations or is that just Pat Robertson's ass talking?
John Adams Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Sit there and tell us all with a straight face that youve never heard anyone call for the assasination of our own President at any of your little "parties" or at any other gatherings youve attended by your left-leaning friends. 415476[/snapback] Good analogy. Spitballing with friends is about the same thing as a national figure calling for an assasination on TV. Try harder to spin this against the Democrats.
Live&DieBillsFootball Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 It is good that you are scared. He is a crackpot, but more than millions shares his worldview: an eschatology where we are in the last days before Armagedeon and the end of the world. 415296[/snapback] Including George W. Bush who is also waiting for the rapture.
UConn James Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Sit there and tell us all with a straight face that youve never heard anyone call for the assasination of our own President at any of your little "parties" or at any other gatherings youve attended by your left-leaning friends. 415476[/snapback] The most I've heard is for a wave of both-ends flu to go through the WH. Believe it or not, most people who call themselves Dems actually respect the office enough not to call for an execution. For all the talk of the lunatic left, too bad the lunatic right has carried them out with frequency over the last 40 years. That, or the thought of "President Dick Cheney" would cause a body-wide version of brain freeze.
Mickey Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Sit there and tell us all with a straight face that youve never heard anyone call for the assasination of our own President at any of your little "parties" or at any other gatherings youve attended by your left-leaning friends. 415476[/snapback] I have never heard such a thing. Not even close. I can't speak for her but the parties I got to are rarely (never) for just democrats. When I have discussed things with just a democrat or two over lunch or a drink or whatever, I have never heard such a thing said. Do you really think that is what deomcrats do? I know a lot of that kind of looney talk was a staple of the right through the Clinton years and beyond but as for the democrats I hang with, that stuff never caught on with us.

Mickey Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Good analogy. Spitballing with friends is about the same thing as a national figure calling for an assasination on TV. Try harder to spin this against the Democrats. 415539[/snapback] I guess it just would have been too hard to say "Pat Robertson calling for the assasination of a democratically elected leader is simply wrong" and then been done with the issue. Instead, even this has to be some sort of an argument. Its like when you say something seemingly uncontroversial like "It was wrong for Matthew Shepherd to be tied to a fence and left to die simply because he was gay" and the reaction you get is something along the lines of "Oh yeah? Well those gays are asking for special rights and that's wrong." Even better, "Homosexuality is wrong, it says so in the Bible."
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 I guess it just would have been too hard to say "Pat Robertson calling for the assasination of a democratically elected leader is simply wrong" 415616[/snapback] If Chavez was elected in a clean and honest election, then I'm Minnie Pearl.
Mickey Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 If Chavez was elected in a clean and honest election, then I'm Minnie Pearl. 415621[/snapback] Does that mean then that calling for his murder is not wrong?
RkFast Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Good analogy. Spitballing with friends is about the same thing as a national figure calling for an assasination on TV. Try harder to spin this against the Democrats. 415539[/snapback] Im speaking more about Deb's critiscism and blanket statement that I am of Robertson. Robertson's a fool.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Does that mean then that calling for his murder is not wrong? 415625[/snapback] Did I say that? Look, I think Chavez is a grade-a-****. Would I like to see him gone? Yes. But I hardly think that we'd ever get away with it. So it'd be better not to do it.
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 Not distracted, but definitely disturbed by the fact that this guy has a real following that actually believes this stuff. If he were attached to any other religion he'd be denounced immediately as a kook at best, as a cult leader or radical at worst.
Wacka Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Robertson is a loon. At least we on the right call a loon a loon, unlike the left. Where on the board is the left's condemning of Sheehan, Dean, Jessie Jackson, Farakan, MoveOn, et al? Mickey, the guys that killed Matthew Shepard said they killed him beause he stiffed them on a drug deal, not because he was gay. The MSM made it a cause celebre. Where was the press about the teenager kidnapped, tourtured and killed by two gay men in I believe Texas about 6 months after the Shepard murder?
RkFast Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Here is what I am speaking about. My point towards Deb is that she has nerve to a) lump all Conservatives...even the so-called "Christian" ones in with that fool Roberts and b) to be so naive as to think her side of the aisle doesnt engage in such horrid rhetoric. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ideas_opin...3p-287875c.html This article written by a Democrat, BTW...speaking of the vitriol coming from many. It was a phenomenon I saw in last year's presidential race. When a host on Air America radio advocated violence against Bush, I was shocked that some liberals applauded. One call from a 78-year-old Connecticut woman still gives me chills: Speaking of Bush, she said: "Osama Bin Laden had it right: His throat should be slit." A New York Times reporter who dared write something nice about Bush got an E-mail from a California man who said he hoped the reporter's child would be killed by a terrorist bomb. Such ugly views are hardly typical of every Democrat or liberal. But there is no denying that the fringe is starting to dominate the party. Leaders who have the courage to say "enough" need to come forward. Where are they?
Ghost of BiB Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 "That last bus bombing was...fabulous!" 415432[/snapback] And that last suicide attack ...it was just to DIE for!

I don't know how much of it was because he was gay and how much of it was because the two guys he ran into were completely pshychotic. They did what they did to him and, on the way home, got into a fight with two more guys (who were Mexican - so maybe that was reason enough). They were also drug addicts and had just about the worst childhoods you can have. They were screwed up.
SilverNRed Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 And that last suicide attack ...it was just to DIE for! 415647[/snapback] "I just LOVE your new kaffiya! Where did you get it? Mohammed and I are having a dinner party next week to talk about how to exterminate the Jews and I'd love to wear something like that!"
chicot Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Did I say that? Look, I think Chavez is a grade-a-****. Would I like to see him gone? Yes. But I hardly think that we'd ever get away with it.

bobblehead Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 The big question is "Who Would Jesus Kill?". If the Christian right tolerates this is just serves to underscore the depths of their hypocrisy (and stupidity). It will be well worthwhile to go to hell just to see THEM all burning there too. 415457[/snapback] Yet someone claimed you lumped all conservatives together here.
Ghost of BiB Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Petro-Veza has a lot more pull than the government anyway. Like all else, this will blow over. And, there is nothing wrong with occasionally using assasination to further security, if that's what it takes. Even Bill Clinton understood that. I don't think it applies here, though.
