It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don't think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger and the United ... This is in our sphere of influence, so we can't let this happen. We have the Monroe Doctrine, we have other doctrines that we have announced. And without question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us very badly. We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."

venezuela is apparently 96% catholic and 2% protestant. so maybe that muslim infiltration lies in that mysterious "other" 2%.

Pat is laughable as always, but I do favor assasinations over the uncountable atrocities that inevitibly occur during war.

8/23/2005 10:56:13 AM

GET EM

8/23/2005 1:18:31 PM

I love how we call it "terrorism" when Islamic Fundamentalist Clerics urge their followers to assasinate leaders....but when Pat Robertson says the same thing...we call it Right Wing Conservatism.

This guy is disgraceful to Americans and Christians. What's even worse is that he uses his Christian television show "the 700 Club" to promote his hate-filled message.

As a Christian, I'm disgusted.

8/23/2005 1:22:04 PM

I would rather Pat Robertson just do it himself. That would be one of the most hilarious acts of war ever.

8/23/2005 1:22:22 PM

Yeah, but he's always asking someone else to do his dirty work.

"Oh please assassinate the bad Venezuelan for me, U.S. government."

"Hey God, how 'bout rubbing out a couple of liberal Supreme Court justices for me?"

Exactly.

This girl I know went to Venezuela and brought back all sorts of Chavez paraphanelia, including Hugo Chavez condoms.

8/23/2005 1:49:22 PM

oh yeah
duh

8/23/2005 1:55:47 PM

Robertson is crazy. No one takes him seriously.

8/23/2005 2:10:58 PM

I don't think even a lot of Christian Fundamentalists take Pat Robertson seriously. Better to just ignore what he says than to give him the attention he so craves.

Redguard, I have to disagree man.

He doesn't have a nationally televised TV show for nothing. Obviously his ratings aren't that bad. I think a lot of Christians take guys like Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell seriously....and that's very scary.

Republicans also take Robertson seriously. He heads up the Christian Coalition...which is a highly mobilized and funded political machine. Robertson and his group have a large amount of political clout on Capital Hill, and shouldn't be underestimated. Honestly, the Republican party basically adjusted its platform just to cater to the wishes of this voter base.

But I think the major draw for that is on the senior end of the age scale. The baby-boomers and their parents are from a much more traditional tim period but younger generations gravitate towards a more moderate approach (at least they seem to in my experiences). I don't know anyone uner 60 that watches the 700 Club.

8/23/2005 2:36:59 PM

Last spring, I read a book for one of my religion classes called "Between Jesus and The Market" by Linda Kintz. The book was about the influence that the religious right has on our secular politics. It was really interesting and really opened my eyes to just how much influence the conservative evangelical agenda has on the Republican Party.

dobson for the most part just wants people to get closer to Jesus
which i can agree with
he doesn't really butt in to politics the way falwell/pat do


and sharpton is just the man

8/23/2005 3:17:32 PM

I agree that Dobson's a nice guy...wants to get people closer to Jesus, etc. And for that I commend him. But just like the rest of the religious right...he's only concerned with gay marriage and abortion. He pitched a fit about a Spongebob gay tolerance video...but says nothing about the vast social injustice issues going on around the world.

You're right though...Dobson does typically keep his nose out of the political arena.

8/23/2005 3:27:32 PM

wait
dobson did the spongebob shit?

dammit
he did
whelp
i tried
guess now its just al sharpton

Dr. Dobson? Keeps his nose out of politics?

Y'all are out of your minds. Maybe 10 years ago that was true, but he's as much of a political activist as he is a minister and author these days.

I think that he is a genuinely good guy, but I wish he'd tone down the political activism.

8/23/2005 5:07:51 PM

dangitt

obviously i haven't listened/read anything of his in probably 3 or 4 years
but back in the day he seemed genuinely cool

Now, will people be expressing similar outrage when or if the Bush Administration/U.S. Government calls for the invasion of Venezuela or the assassination of Chavez?

of course not! gotta support them fightin' men!

it's just stupid and hypocritical for pat robertson to say it

8/23/2005 6:25:33 PM

So why's he so bad?

He's a socialist, but beyond that...? People aren't disappearing under him. There's no civil war in Venezuela. He's democratically elected...
