gamavor Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Pat Robertson, far-right televangilist and basic Republican nutcase, called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chaves on Robertson's "The 700 Club" show on the U.S. Christian Broadcasting Network yesterday. While seemingly not a very Christian sentiment, it's hardly surprizing coming from a Republican spokesman who has in the past, along with fellow far-right whacko, Jerry Falwell, blamed the ACLU, pagans and gays for 9/11. If such talk wasn't so dangerous we could simply see it as more whacky entertainment coming from the flat-earth people, but the fact of the matter is that the present government in Washington really DOES want Chaves gone. The White House and their rightwing extremist friends in DC have, as you probably know, attempted to remove Chaves in the past. Robertson's inflammatory over-the-top preaching adds more fuel to the fire. And, of course, Chaves IS sitting on some very big oil reserves and we all know what that means in terms of geo-politics. As in the past, Robertson will perhaps backtrack or offer some sort of vague apology, but that's merely part of the man's game. He makes such controversal statements initially to inflame the reactionary extremist elements in U.S. politics. Retractions garner much less notice. In the final analysis it's simply more bomb-throwing from the rightwing Republican pulpit; more inspiration for the zombies. God help us all. http://216.17.145.112/newswire/display/4812/index.php PS: Hugo Chavez is the democratically elected president of Venezuela.

phantom22 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 What is the essence of the behaviors of a true Christian and how does this guy measure up? For that matter how do all the top dogs in DC measure up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamavor Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 You tell me? It is 'your' country and your brand of "Christianity"???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom22 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I was raised in the same faith as Hillary Clinton after the age of 7 (when I lost my innocence). Robertson's brand of Christianity is not Christianity at all. Read the 10 Commandments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanetsi Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Trust? Televangelists are not to be trusted. It is a false form of Christianity. They've contorted the Faith to their liking. They've taken every step they could to make God an American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom22 Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 These televangelists are not the America I grew up in. They have made a pact with the Jewish neo-cons and with this pact they have hijacked America. I was born and raised in small-town America. I was raised in an odar Protestant church. Our minister was truly a holy man, who honored and respected our family altough we were the only family whose roots were outside of Northern Europe. He even read books on Armenians to understand us better. I am old enough and was aware young enough to know that there is something very amiss in America today.

Zartonk Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) It is a false form of Christianity. They've contorted the Faith to their liking. It's not a form, Vanetsi jan. It's a preverse misuse. Edited August 30, 2005 by Zartonk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
