I'm sorry Pat, but you lost it. Is it time to retire?

Judging by the media and FR response, it would seem that way.

And if he was "misinterpreted," why do you defend his advocating killing Chavez. Mr. Robertson did not call for the killing of chavez-nor did he advocate the immediate completion of an assassination. He did, however, point out that chavez himself has already accused the USA of plotting his assassination..that is where the misinterpretation came about.
Chavez was asking for it....and no U. S. Citizen should apologize for exercising freedom of Speech..and no U. S. citizen should apologize to a two-bit dictator like Chavez!
I understand there are certainly those do not have the brains necessary to figure out that Robertson has no power to make what he says happen. Including the obviously dimwitted chavez.
Now, so far as my defending what Robertson said..Chavez is a worthless piece of foreign poop that should be scooped up as soon as possible by ANY means. In other words..I agree with the thought. Chavez says we're going to......why not?
OOOPS..Maybe I need to apologize to that chavez character..even though he is a murderous dictator, he seems to have some advocates of his own that wont like what I say..isn't that right Types_with_fist?

Should we just now have preachers bow to their most base emotions, feelings, and desires to stand in the pulpits calling for the deaths of world leaders? God tells us we should not commit MURDER. But God has also called for killing whole towns down to the last goat..and the wiping the dust off of your feet when you finish...
Todays candy-bar, 1960's Jesus freak 'Christians"..do not understand about fighting EVIL, indeed, KILLIG EVIL. Too bad..I guess we now must roll over like yellow dogs and offer ourselves to allah and atheism..allow dictators to amass arms against our country (like chavez is doing)just so long as we dont (gasp!!!) kill anybody.
Geez!

I see. Because I believe it is wrong for a pastor -- a purported believer in The Lord Jesus Christ -- to advocate the murder of a foreign head of state it MUST be because I'm an advocate for Chavez and his rule of Venezuela. I wouldn't be an advocate for ANY dirt bag or weasel. So, naturally, I would not be an advocate for Chavez or Pat Robertson or... you.

What exactly has Chavez done, that would earn the death penalty? I haven't been able to find anything about him murdering or torturing people, just that he has pissed-off the US a lot and keeps bad company.

So, what does that tell you? That we should not be killing 2 year-old children unless God tells us to do it?

Robertson now says that he meant sending an elite assassination squad against the Teletubbies.

I am tired of playing word-twister with the uninformed.
You and others obviously miss the point as well as any of the foreign potentates you defend.

No. For you the ends justify the means. If you believe the world would be a better place with someone not living in it, killing the person is acceptable, as God has previously told us to destroy entire towns down to the last child and goat.

The only one who is playing "word twister" is you, who has not only claimed Robertson didn't call for assassination but has also insinuated that others like me support Chavez.
Both are lies.
Nobody -- nobody at all -- is defending Chavez. I haven't seen that anywhere on this site.
Go ahead and explain to us "uninformed" folks how Bible scripture (be sure, of course, not to even mention the New Testament) declares that we should kill people we disagree with. Tell us how to eradicate "evil."
While you're at it, tell us how we are advocates for "foreign potentates" because we disagree with some jerk on the tube.

I recall repeated arguments on the evolution threads that there is no basis for considering murder wrong, indeed no basis for any kind of morality at all, in the absence of God. Seems like the presence of God isn't much of a deterrent either.
