C-SPAN ^ | Jan. 14, 2010

Posted on 01/14/2010 12:10:55 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

Gibbs: "It never ceases to amaze that in times of amazing human suffering, somebody says something that could be so utterly stupid, but, it, like clockwork, happens with some regularity."

So if I support one assertion of the current administration I which I hold in contempt... Come on, you are smarter than that. If not go onto Youtube you can find some really intelligent arguments there! Jump right in!

For once I agree with the current Administration. But that contemptible fool Pat Robertson gave them all the rope needed to hang him.

I disagree with you and many others on this site. Pat Robertson need not have to bow to political correctness just because you don't like his observation.

A person has been drinking, gets behind the wheel and crashes. He is injured. If someone makes the observation that the driver did something stupid do you have a problem with it? How about if the driver hits and injures others? The drivers' actions are still stupid, and now those actions have hurt innocent people.

Let's take it to a larger scale. Let us suppose that a lazy incompetent socialist with no history of accomplishment is able to convince a nation to elect him as their leader. Let's go way out on a limb and say that the policies of this nimrod trash the economy. Would you disagree with a blanket observation that America was foolish for "making a deal" to have him in charge?

Where I'm going is rather obvious. The key question - is what Robertson said true? Did the leaders and/or the people of Haiti contract with Satan? If they did I propose that Robertsons' observation bears little difference to the items I have offered, except in the minds of you and others.

Robertson is a Bible thumper.....you know, brimstone and ash......apparently that is not PC anymore. gibbs can take his PC bullcrap and stuff it in his kings undershorts.

Short and to the point. Well said. Although I would disagree somewhat if the phrase "bible thumper" was used with a negative connotation.

LOL! Touche! No worse than I sticking up for Pat......which was my entire point. The admin commenting on Pat is pure political bravado.....we all choose are arguments, this is a debate, after all.

Please explain exactly why what Robertson said is hurtful, and why it is ridiculous.

I had a hard time following you, but rest assured I am sure the trouble lies with me, not with you.

I see a whole bunch of bible prophesy people trying to cram the headlines into a construct of prophesy as they contrive to unravel something from Danial, Revelation, whatever. I see the same silliness from Pat. Pat also makes lots of weird prophetic statements that don’t come true. He dredged up something from over two hundred years ago. Did it happen? Don’t know. Such speculation should be kept to a narrower audience. I’m not even sure that you can make a bargain with the devil on somebody else s behalf. So many things about this just can’t be verified. But he comes off as a superstitious clown. I am sure you mean well but I just wish Pat would stop adding to the list of stupid Pat quotes.

If this were Pat’s first stupid thing to say you would have a point. But it’s not.

I appreciate the reply. I think it is misplaced to judge Robertson's comments by what others have said. You have not even gone by something said about him, but rather seem to have decided that he is part of a group with a unified view that you disagree with. First of all, there are various views on the subjects you cite. Secondly, you should at least limit you disagreements to what Robertson has said himself.

So then, you do not know if it happened (a deal with Satan). Well what if it did happen? He comes off as a clown to those who don't understand the issues he is describing. I am not trying to be insulting, but I suspect you know little more about scripture than Sunday school stories. Yet you have decided that his observation is absurd.

BTW, if you have two or three of those "weird prophetic statements" he has made, in context, I would be interested in learning more about them. Thanks

Well, Gibbs, I agree that Pat’s remark was off-the-scale stupid, but just for the record, you guys say a lot of utterly stupid things as well.

Ah, yes. It is still politically correct for women to denigrate men with impunity. The contributions of the left just keep on blessing us!

Welcome to the discussion. Hows it going over there?

Wait... was the "you guys" statement for Gibbs and company or for all of us?

I think I may have just said something stupid.

I'm not denigrating men.

I'm denigrating Gibbs and Obama.

With impunity.
