We already know that Pat Robertson doesn't have any Juevos. He proved that four years ago after 9/11, when he shared the TV screen with Jerry Falwell - another mental midget - who proclaimed that God was attacking our country, "because of the gays, and the lesbians and the abortionists, and the ACLU..." Robertson sat there nodding and grinning like some leatherette Walmart knockoff of Charlie McCarthy. Later, when he briefly came to his senses, Falwell actually apologized for the remark, yet Robertson spent the time backing and filling and trying to claim that he never said anything.
Now the man is facing into his battery of TV cameras on what they have the audacity to call the "Christian" Broadcasting Network, speaking to his multi-million person audience of true believers and directly calling for the assasination of the duly elected leader of a sovereign nation! Why? He says why! Because he's "sitting on a big pool of oil." Robertson wants someone to assasinate Chavez, not because he has attacked the U.S. Not because he has advocated attacking the U.S. Not because he lives in a country that will likely become "a launching pad for... Muslim extremism," as he puts it. In Venezuela, 92% of the population are baptised Catholics!
He wants him whacked for oil!
I'm sure that if Pat were questioned on the matter he would be incapable of seeing the similarity between this "Fatwa" issued by a Christian (rather than Islamic) fundamentalist wacko (namely himself) and Fatwas issued by various Islamic (rather than Christian) fundamentalist wackos regarding the murder of everyone from Salman Rushdie to George Bush, or any other set of "unworthy" people. Not only is he a hypocrite an idiot and a coward, but it seems to me that the man has gone completely insane! Assasination is not simply a cheaper method of reducing the price of gasoline, it is international aggression, it is murder, it is ANTI-Christian, and, even though we have clearly been known to use it as a method, it is UN-American.
Robertson, Falwell , Dobson and their millions of followers have become, as Cenk Uyger calls them, the American Taliban. They are no more Christian than the Taliban are Muslim. Neither of these groups represents the "better... natures" of their chosen religious models. They are a menace to true spirituality and they are a menace to American society. We can't kill them, and frankly we can't even shut them up. But we don't have to listen to them, we don't have to give them the time of day, and we CAN send them into exile where they belong.
As best I can figure from the evidence in the picture above, Robertson has simply had so many facelifts that his brain has been sucked out the back of his head and the only remaining goal for his life is to see if he can transform his face into a mirror image of that other marvelously cosmeticized fundamentalist wacko, Tammy Faye!
Now the only thing is, I may have been wrong about Pat up above when I said he had no Juevos. Clearly he has more balls than Bush who can't even bring himself to acknowledge his lies, come clean on the real reason for our war in Iraq and meet with a lowly housewife from Vacaville who is mourning the loss of her son in Bush's War for Oil. Ol' Pat just comes right out and says it.
On the other hand, Bush's main occupation seems to be peddling around the ranch with the one guy allowed into his circle who we actually KNOW has a ball!
