Pat Robertson, the Voice of Christianity

You know Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition of America, evangelical televangelist on The 700 Club? That kindly looking white haired older gentleman with a soft spoken voice, smiling while spewing out the most vile, contemptible hate. Yes, that's the one! He's the guy who asked his viewers to pray for the deaths of several supreme court justices. He has also said that feminism encourages women to "kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." The same "Christian" is now calling for a man's assassination.

He said Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, one of the most outspoken critics of President Bush, must stop his country from becoming "a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism." How does one stop the opposition? Well according to Robertson death and murder seem to be the only way.

"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it," Robertson said. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war... and I don't think any oil shipments will stop... We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator," he continued. "It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."

And this douchbag actually has followers. I shudder to think that a good chunk of Americans probably agree with his philosophy. But what am I saying, Jesus did say kill thine enemy, right? Nothing about give to Caesar what is Caesar's, or turning the other cheek, or loving your enemies...

I always thought that Pat Robertson was a complete nutball and now I've got proof. That's a really great Christian example to set, isn't it? What a moron.

I remember getting buzzed with a few friends and watching Pat and his CBC News. It was hilarious. On the other hand, he has a huge following and major bucks, and that scares the hell out of me. Let's hope that the "700 Club" goes the way of "The PTL Club" with Jim and Tammy.
