WHOOPS!!!!! This is a blooper the size of Godzilla. Pat Robertson really put his foot in his mouth on this one. Hugo Chavez is a horrible leader, but for a man of the cloth to be calling for an assassination is way off base.
Sometimes I think he can't decide whether he's a man of the cloth or a politician.
"a man of the cloth to be calling for an assassination is way off base."
My point exactly.
hey i got news for you- i follow Jesus--but I aint Jesus---know whadimean
Pat Robertson's just another preacher ~ in a division of Christianity that does not draw a class distinction between the professional clergy and the members.
How many would have been saved if a religious leader called for the death of hitler, stalin, or pol pot?
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"
I'm sorry, I disagree, I do not follow Pat, but what he said was spot on. Chavez is a Communist and as such an athiest and so from the viewpoint of a "man of the cloth" he is Evil. I think his point is, kill one man now or thousands later. From an Ethics viewpoint what would be your choice?
Is a man "not-of-the-cloth", like me, way off base too when I agree with him?
I disagree. Have you ever read the Bible? There are lots of stories how God, Himself went ahead of the Jews into battle. He told them repeatedly to slay the enemy.
I'm personally glad Pat said it. It's the truth and needs to be done! He's an enemy to us and many will die if he has his way about it.
God called King David "a man after his own heart.
He also considered David a man of war.
Left to his own devices, Hugo Chavez is going to end up causing as much misery, death and distruction as Castro.
We should "Pull the weed."
"for a man of the cloth to be calling for an assassination is way off base."
I agree. What a fool.
Agreed.
agree...Pat Robertson is an idiot!
This remark is the smartest thing that I've heard since the Israelis starting hanging targets on Gaza terrorists. The U.S. needs to identify its enemies, hang a target on them and get rid of them. If next in line were found to be as big or bigger of a problem, hang another target. Let the Delta Team take care of it. Why send 130,000 men when a few dozen would do just fine? This is a low cost way to implement regime change. The only reason an elected official would block this strategy is because it would make them a target and expose their cowardliness.
