Pat Robertson is Insane (Feds are mad)

[Mari333]

Makes a complete arse out of himself once again:

Christian evangelist regularly condemns the State Department as a rogue element he says consistently undermines U.S. policies and the principles of freedom.


"It's like an entrenched bureaucracy that has their own agenda, and it doesn't comport with the will of the American people. How do we get rid of them?" he said during the June interview.


In a July broadcast of "The 700 Club," Robertson accused the State Department of supporting Muslim rebels who opposed the Liberian government headed by Charles Taylor.


Robertson, a Bush supporter who has financial interests in Liberia, said he believed the State Department has "mismanaged the situation in nation after nation after nation" in Africa.


"So we're undermining a Christian, Baptist president to bring in Muslim rebels to take over the country," he said during the July broadcast. >>>>>

1. Absolutely nothing will be done to him

He is a major * contributor and the representative of a great many voters that are all Repugs. The State department will bluster and moan, and then the story will disappear. Next thing we know, he'll be getting an award from *I for meritorious service to the nation (probably at the * library, right here in freeperville).

Edit:closed the paranthetical comment

2. Wait ...

<<"So we're undermining a Christian, Baptist president to bring in Muslim rebels to take over the country," he said during the July broadcast.>>

I thought Shrub was Methodist. Did Robertson drink from the wrong pitcher of Kool-Aid?

3. They should arrest him for making threats against the State Dept

Throw him in the same cell as Rush....they would make lovely room mates.

4. Please...

I visioned 2 beached whales with your post.

5. He was talking about Liberia's thug president, Charles Taylor,

Robertson's co-investor in the diamond or gold mine bizness.

11. Didn't Shrub get thrown out of his church?

I know both he and Blair were thrown out of the Bethlehem Christian church for life.

6. Over on another board (Rush vs Reality group)

A poster sent this message to The Homeland Security Website:


I've sent the following to the Dept. of Home Security:
http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/contactus

Pat Robertson is advocating blowing up the State Dept. with a nuclear bomb. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm... I really think he was being sincere. I believe that he has breached the Homeland Security Agency intended purpose and it's Patriot Act. I'm not being flippant here, I'm really concerned. The likelihood of his fanatical followers to use a nuclear device is non-existent, but a Oklahoma type device is readily available. I think it's incumbent of you to interview Robertson and get a public retraction.
If you decide not to enforce the Home Security legislation please tell me why. I'm being serious here. I have no axe to grind with Robertson. I believe that, as a public figure with a large fanatical audience, that he needs to be treated just like some fanatical Islamic extremist Imam that would advocate the same.
Thanks for your prompt consideration,

I also sent it directly to the Justice Dept.

[e-mail].

...Wally...just think about the T-shirt opportunities if I'm harassed or go to jail...L.O.L.!!!!

He even got a reply:

12. "i'm being serious here"?

That's the funniest damn thing I've read in 'bout a week or so.

8. How many Reich wing fundamentalists are so mentally unstable that

they may start shooting up the State Department? Fortunately for Robertson, two of those mentally unstable Reich wing fundamentalists are Whistle Ass and Ashcroft. The media should force Whistle Ass to respond to this.

9. Consider how much influence Robertson has on the WH

W will have to cover up for another one of his terrorist friends. Robertson has too much influence with the Bu$h family and this misadministration for W not to have to protect him.

The Christian Coalition And George Bush

WASHINGTON (Aug. 19, 1997) -- It was no secret that Pat Robertson supported President George Bush in his re-election race in 1992. But the full story of just how the Christian Coalition worked behind the scenes is only now coming to light.

CNN has obtained previously confidential documents that tell the story how Robertson hand-picked more than 30 Bush campaign leaders, of how the Bush campaign got advance information on the printing and distribution of 40 million Christian Coalition voter guides favorable to Bush, and of how Bush even raised money for the Christian Coalition itself.

In April 1992, Robertson sent the Bush campaign chairman a 10-page list of "persons I would like to see as Bush campaign co-chairmen."

Bush strategist Mary Matalin got right on it. By convention time, Robertson's hand-picked people were nearly all in place.

10. Whatever happened to 'separation of church and state'?

Geez, you'd think these guys automatically assume God votes Republican.
