Pat Robertson - Flip Flop of the Week

[The Ghost]

'If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. " - Pat Robertson, August 22, 2005

"I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted by the AP , but that happens all the time," - Pat Robertson, August 24, 2005.

1. Standard RW response

"I was taken out of context". Why am I not surprised?

[terrya]

2. What if you actually heard the word "assassination" when you saw the clip?

Did millions of people "misinterpret" what that lying sack of shit really said?

[Imagevision]

3. I just herad that after seeing him say assassinate him earlier!

Robertson must have received "the word" over night from the "higher source" himself...!

[pauldavid]

4. assassination and kidnapping

Both time tested techniques of radical religious terrorists.

5. Robertson obviously was recently told; "retract it asshole!

[brentspeak]

6. "I was misinterpreted by the AP, but that happens all the time."

Hmm. So now Pat Robertson says he's been victimized, and is blaming his problems on others. Isn't that the kind of thing he's been known to claim is the hallmark of liberals and minorities?

16. Nominated for the greatest! Robertson lost sleep over this

now denies the video...what a chump!

7. Lying m*therf*cker!!!

:grr:

Isn't lying a sin?

Look who I'm asking.....this walking turd wouldn't know Jesus if He walked up to him and kicked him in the nads....

[safi0]

10. So he said

We shouldn't assassinate him, but rather kidnap him. Great.

[TankLV]

11. Oh - nevermind! That's obviously "better"!

sarcasm off

[MadisonProgressive]

14. We HAVE to kidnap him first!

How else will we be able to torture him and then kill him??

[ironman202]

8. LIAR! HYPOCRIT! DAMN YOU TO THE HELL OF YOUR OWN CREATION!

[HeeBGBz]

9. Lying evil dog

Back pedal now because your ass is in the hot seat.

[truebrit71]

12. "take him out" can mean a number of things....

...like what I wonder?

..."take him out" to the ballgame?
..."take him out" to the movies?
..."take him out" to dinner?
..."take him out" to the countryside and smash his head in with the blunt end of an axe and then call it suicide?

Robertson is a lying motherfucking tool and the only thing that makes me smile is the thought of the 'shit-my-guts-out' look on his face when he finds out that there really IS a hell, and he has a reservation in the "Buggered by Rabid, Wild Animals" suite booked for eternity....

[Kurovski]

17. Robertson might "take him out" to one of the pits in his diamond

mines.

Robertson has no problems with actual dictators, like Mobutu, who can make him money.

22. Right, ask a SEAL or Spec-Ops trooper to "Take him out" & guess what?

A 500 lb. laser-guided bomb end up on top of "him".

[Imagevision]

13. Robertson? The video clearly speaks for itself, now he's desperate!

[Arugula Latte]

20. What are you going to believe, a man of God or your own lying eyes & ears?

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

[bnr65432]

15. is kidnapping better

it does the same thing except you get a hostage

[southpaw]

18. What was it Robertson said?

ROBERTSON: There was a popular coup that overthrew him . And what did the United States State Department do about it? Virtually nothing. And as a result, within about 48 hours that coup was broken; Chavez was back in power, but we had a chance to move in. He has destroyed the Venezuelan economy, and he's going to make that a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent.

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. 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.

19. Where is Agent Smith?

Why isn't Agent Smith and the office of Homeland security busting down Pat Robertson's door and extraordinarily rendering him?

He clearly fits the definition of a terrorist. Is this another example of Bushler hypocritically harboring a terrorist?

:shrug:

[Contrary1]

23. Because that technique is reserved...

for Non-Republicans and/or Non-Christians.

[MsTryska]

21. tut tut tut...Silly Pat....

Not only is "thou shalt not kill" a commandment, so is "thou shalt not bear false witness".
