Besides being disappointed with Roberts, I'm just as disappointed with evangelical talk show host, Hugh Hewitt and other prominent evangelicals who have not, as far as I know, said one word on Roberts' remarks. I think they should have said something. Has anybody heard anybody correcting him?

Pat Robertson was right on this one. Whatever means is necessary to take out an enemy of the United States should be exercised. The Kennedys were justified in authorizing the attempts on Castro's life. It is a shame that John Kennedy backed off from supporting the Bay of Pigs invasion, stranding the anti-Castro forces without air cover after it had been promised to them. Rest assured that neither Marxists nor radical Muslims have any qualms about taking out their opponents. Consider the fate of the Romanoffs of Russia, Jan Masaryk of Czechoslovakia, or Hendrik Verwoed of South Africa at the hands of assassins who had the full backing of the Soviet and/or KGB/NKVD hierarchy. Even in our own country, we must remember that the assassin of William McKinley (Leon Czolgosz) was a leftist anarchist, as was Giuseppe Zangara, who attempted to assassinate Franklin Roosevelt. Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of John Kennedy, was a Marxist who had defected to the USSR. Sirhan Sirhan, the convicted killer of Robert Kennedy, was a Muslim extremist.

America cannot defeat ruthless Marxist or extremist Muslim enemies by being insufficiently vigilant and proactive. The Dulles brothers, John Kennedy, William Colby, Henry Kissinger, and Ronald Reagan were realistic. One hopes their 21st Century successors would be as realistic. The bottom line is that Pat Robertson had nothing to apologize for.

I still think Robertson is off his rocker.

[PISANO]

As with any conservative, no matter how many ways or how many times he apologizes, it won't be good enough.

Should not have apologized, the lefties are going to bit*h no matter what you do.

If Chavez dies of AIDS or the common cold, Bush and the CIA will be blamed anyway.

It was clearly taken out of context...and hs still shouldn't have said what he did say. though frankly, i think Chavez should have had to apologize to our State Department first.

If he called our soldiers Nazis it would have been ignored!

From my reading of the statement he seems to be saying: "I apologize that I made a statement that got a rise out of a lot of people that bash me no matter what I say."

I do like the last paragraph of the article, however:

He has suggested in the past that a meteor could strike Florida because of unofficial "Gay Days" at Disney World and that feminism caused women to kill their children, practice witchcraft and become lesbians.

The part about the meteor is definitely "out there" but the feminism part doesn't seem unreasonable.

[El Conservador]

Anyone associating and singing the praises of former Liberian president Charles Taylor lacks my sympathy.

I don't feel bad for him, really.

[Stand Watch Listen]

Hmmmmm...And I was just about to send in my love offering for Pat's 007 Club

[Stand Watch Listen]

Hmmmmm....could Pat not have just offered a non-apology that is so chic' among the liberals.

For example.."I apologize to those that may have misunderstood my statement and taken offense..."
It works for the MSM.
