In the Name of Jesus Wipe them out...

All of them.

  • oh jesus, that's beautiful.
  • "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war"- I think Jesus said that. Always inspiring to hear the words of a man of God. If we get through the next thirty years without that guy becoming President, we can count ourselves lucky, I guess.
  • "Robertson called Chavez "a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us badly." That is from the cnn article. Give him credit for stating that we need to take out Chavez because he controls too much oil. At least he is honest about it.
  • Robertson's threats and suggestions are no different than those made by other terrorists. Comments such as this make the man a criminal in most areas of this globe. In my opinion, Chavez now has justification to invade the US to hunt down Robertson for the terrorist he is, and to condemn and attack the government of any country that harbors him. This man, the 700 club, and fundamentalist christians in general are a threat to the world. I believe that the final war will be between these people and the rest of us, and, honestly, I don't think they will win, but it will be an ugly experience for all concerned (and, yes, that would include you, and you , and you [see me pointing???])
  • Sheeeyat, I could stick me plenty of them fundy fools and still be home in time for supper...
  • I believe that the final war will be between these people and the rest of us So do they!
  • Mmm ... armageddelicious.
  • In a world where a religious leader calls for assassinations for economic reasons, and a 29-year old nun can't display her religious enthusiasm by wrapping her legs around a missionary and grinding, I ask you, WHAT CHANCE PEACE?
  • Yeah, this isn't exactly new, with regards to the Church and people who run it, per se. That whole peace, love, and Jesus shit went down real well. Now kill the infidels! I mean, the non-believers! the unsaved? the devil?
  • If it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man enter the Kingdom of God, well, Chavez is pretty rich because he's sitting on all that oil, so he's not going to heaven anyway, so really, in sending him to Hell we'd just be doing the Lord's work. Right? Good thing Robertson isn't rich. Otherwise things could get a bit sticky for him...
  • Thank God for nuclear weapons... that all I have to say. Fear of nuclear reprisal and location are the only things saving us from being invaded. (Though... if it were a Eurasian coalition, i.e. WW III: Everyone vs. the US) the end result might not be so bad, as long as you lived through it.
  • Monkeyfilter: The End Result Might Not Be So Bad, As Long As You Lived Through It.
  • Venezuelan anarchist rag El Libertario Mostly Spanish with some English content for a critique of chavismo from a less looney tune perspective.
  • Aww bollocks - El libertario. Is it me who sucks or this preview feature? OK, don't tell me...
  • >Good thing Robertson isn't rich. Otherwise things could get a bit sticky for him... Nah- Robertson says wealth is the mark of God's favor. He's got that angle covered, so you can just forget all that hippie crap about camels and giving your money to the poor. For some scary shit along these lines, google Dominionism- I'd do it, but I'm in a fairly good mood so far this morning, and I don't want to screw it up.
  • The view from the Narcosphere, a good resource for keeping abreast of imperialist shenanigans in Latin America. I'm not too up to date on internal US politics. How seriously is Robertson's constituency taken in Washington these days?
  • Two words .... CAGE MATCH !
  • Can't Pat just get this God guy he keeps talking about to do something?
  • I want Capt. Renault to be my lawyer.
  • Robertson did not explain how Venezuela was to be used by Muslim extremists. The U.S. State Department Web site says 98 percent of the population are Roman Catholic or protestant. Oh suuurre . . . bring up the facts why don't you - America hater!
  • Dear God, I don't believe you or the myriads of other gods humans have worshiped throughout our history are real as I think we made you and them in our image but I understand there is the possibility that I may be wrong. With that in mind I was wondering if you would consider taking Pat Robertson home soon? Thanks. Nomen
  • This from msnbc: 'Robertson has made controversial statements in the past. In October 2003, he suggested that the State Department be blown up with a nuclear device. He has also said that feminism encourages women to “kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.” ' Au contrare. The last lesbian infanticidal Wiccan I knew opened an herb shop on 25th street and made a killing. So there.
  • "ROBERTSON: There was a popular coup that overthrew him [Chavez]. And what did the United States State Department do about it? Virtually nothing." Project Censored: Bush Administration Behind Failed Military Coup in Venezuela Wikipedia: Alleged US involvement Someone should point out to Robertson that the "popular coup" was supported by the upper classes of the "Blondes," which in total is about 1/4th of the population in contrast to the "indians" who make up about 2/3 of the population who are the poor and working class who demonstrated in the streets against the coup and for Chavez.
  • On the of christians not behaving all that christianly... The Christian Paradox.
  • Bah. "On the subject of...". Braino. I blame my editor.
  • Cowards! They're all cowards! Let's bomb the hell out of them. Attack the Venusians before they land on Earth and attack us, the cowardly cowards!!
  • Oh - sorry, wrong cowards.
  • I think Christopher Walken should play Pat Robertson in the musical version.
  • Robertson, along with Jerry Falwell, also thought that the US deserved the 9/11 attacks. They later drew back from that stance.
  • I believe that the final war will be between these people and the rest of us Isn't that pretty much how all wars work?
  • I would rather that no one be wiped out in my name. Of those who claim to be my followers, I would suggest that the read the Gospels. The Gospels may not be perfect or complete, but they did convey the general principles that I was trying to teach.
  • JC, just wondering what you do to pass the days? Is it just you and Buddha sitting around drinking beer and playing crazy eights? Is there a deity bar that you all hand out at? Who's better at darts, you or Ahura Mazda? Oh, and I absolutely loved the sermon on the mount. Great stuff. Your fan, Squidranch
  • Make that "hang out at". Forgive me lord.
  • Crazy eights is an enjoyable game. I am not much of a beer drinker, as one of my miracles might have suggested. I liked the sermon on the mount, too. I gave it a lot of thought. Blessed are the poor in spirit, the meek, those who mourn, those who hunger and thirst for justice, the merciful, the clean of heart, the peacemakers, and those who suffer for justice's sake. It all seemed so simple. However, I was obviously wrong. Somehow what seemed so plain to me as a message was grossly misinterpreted by a large number of people. It seems the louder my name is invoked, the less the message is heard.
  • Jesus is down with loco ochos. If you're bored and need something to kill the time with, I am recovering from some nasty throat surgery. Drop by and we'll play a couple of hands.
  • One might call that taking your name in vain, mightn't one? Tell Granddad hi.
  • Nomen: Those whom the Gods love best, die young.
  • JC - so its wasn't the cheesemakers? Could you please then smite all them high and mighty cheesemakers in Tillamook Oregon then? Thanks much.
  • Look, obviously that wasn't meant to be taken literally, it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
  • What about non-dairy dairy-product substitutes? I mean, if you pay someone to kill your business partner, you've still committed the sin of murder, right?
  • That reminds me. Is it kosher to non dairy creamer with meat? Not that I would. Just curious is all. And what about that shrimp/crab substitute that the Japanese make out of pollck? K or not K?
  • My throat hurts.
  • Pill time! It's Limbaugh time!
  • Well 'ee 'as got a big nose! Big Nose!
  • Take him out does not equal assassination. Oh, ok! That explains it then.
  • Actually, he meant that he wanted to "take him out" to dinner. A nice little French place, a little soft music, some more wine... a little Greco-Roman wrestling... "let me rub those tired shoulders, Hugo..."
  • Good. I think someone should take Pat Robertson out, as well. Put that on CNN, see how he reacts.
  • what a friggin' moran.
  • Hey!
  • err, Sorry MCT. I meant Robertson. You're still a self-centered jerk and your butt smells and you like to smell your own butt. But not a moran.
  • That's okay, then, thanks!
  • MCT's ass smells like ASS!!! Not that I would know personally, but that's what I hear...
  • you want to sniff it. you all do
  • mct's ass is not all it's cracked up to be. from what I hear.
  • Okay that went to kind of a weird place.
