Pat Robertson proves once and for all that he's really the Anti-Christ

[PanzerJaeger]

Well we've a real politician here. But i will talk like a politician too. If you invade Venezuela then Argentina and all South America will turn over you (probably the rest of the world too).
Now talking like some one that hates "witchhunters", i will stay as militia (because i don't have any military training) and when i cross you on the field i will take you and torture you we backstreet boys music until you ask for mercy.

Some people in USA still asks why they are hated. Well you have gived the fundamentalist groups and the terrorist the best proof that they could ever find.

A stupid question required a stupid answer. I apologize if you took that seriously, it was just in fun.

Ah but you have to see the question from a South American perspective - The United States has indeed meddled heavily in many countries in the America's - to the point that much hostility is present.

Notice Soulforged use of the term Yankee - a term of dis-respect toward North Americans from the United States, without being insulting. There is a worse term - that is an actual insult - but Yankee is an indication of the passion ie emotional level raising on the issue.

[PanzerJaeger]

Indeed. A smiley was in order to avoid confusion.

You know, maybe the reason everyone apparently hates Americans is because they dont get our humor.

Don't apolagize maybe you're the only honest. But the question was not to be answered it was just for ironic porposes, maybe was you who didn't understand my joke.
The next time that you want to make a joke then put things like . So i understand your "humor". It's so easy to make jokes about things that will not happen to you.
Back on fun: I understand your humor, but it's sooooo bad .

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Well ... I have seen pretty much the same statement made on this board some time ago.

Does Robertson have relatives on this board, is he a patron himself? ... curious

I confess, I think he had a good idea here. (i.e. takes cover behind 4 other patrons)

[Del Arroyo]

Americans do use alot more sarcasm and subtlety than, well, at least Mexicans. I know that whever I speak to Mexicans (educated or not) I have to turn sarcasm off and say what I mean.

The Mexican sense of humor is more geared toward word play and penis jokes. I suspect this may be largely true of the rest of the Latin world.

DA

Or you're sadly right!! But it's real good, what makes more fun than sexuality.

[Productivity]

Just say to them:

Relax, don't do it
When you want to go to it.

(Not sure if anyone will be old enough to get that one )

I am not old enough to get that - yet I do

I feel exactly the same talking to Americans...

[Adrian II]

Relax, don't do it
When you want to come

Oh yes

[Shambles]

Thought it was
Relax. Go to it...
When you want to do it.

It was a song about homosexual sex.

[Hurin_Rules]

I thought Relax was about masturbation.

But I was also referring to the video: some people had been asking whether it would be a good idea for W. and Saddam to have had a duel to decide things. In Frankie Goes to Hollywood's video, Reagan and the Russian leader (its not Gorbachev, is it? Can't remember) have a big fight, so I thought the reference was appropriate.


Anyway, one more thing about Robertson's insane rant has struck me. He says Chavez is turning his land into a haven for communism and Muslim extremism. Communism AND Muslim extremism? Now that would be quite a feat. Last I checked, there weren't a lot of Muslims in Venezuela, and communism and Muslim extremism are not natural allies. The Soviets and Communist Chinese are not big fans of radical Islam, let me tell you. How exactly were Muslims supposed to flourish in a state that is officially atheist and denies the existence of God? Or was Robertson just speaking out of complete ignorance, as I suspect is more likely the case.

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

Christianity seems to be doing ok in China.

And elements of the European left and the nutjob section of Islam seem to be getting on just fine.

Yep, I was chuckling over that too. Of course he was speaking out of complete ignorance. He wanted to dismantle the Dept. of Education when he was running for President, LOL.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Shows you what a nut job this guy is when he has me agreeing with Hurin and Red Harvest. How many have been converted to Islam since Chavez took over?

[Aenlic]

It's all a plot, you see. Chavez and Castro are actually members of the Trilateral Commission and good buddies with Henry Kissinger. They're just hoping that their rhetoric will get them accepted as novices in the Illuminati and the Gnomes of Zurich; so they've cleverly enlisted the aid Islamist extremists and the spirit of Lenin to create a situation designed to make poor Pat Robertson look bad and delay the Epoxyclypse. But, Pat Robertson, bolstered by the support of a Christian Army raised with money from Superglue and Elmers will struggle on to bring about the Epoxyclypse anyway. Closely followed by the Rupture, which is when the army discovers that carrying the load of the future of humankind is rather wearying and they all suddenly develop herniated discs and limp about proclaiming "Oh! Oh! I think I Ruptured something!"

That's my basic understanding of it all anyway.

[Hurin_Rules]

And when push comes to shove, we see Robertson's true character. Man enough to admit responsibility and apologize? Not at all. Apparently, all the reporting was just part of a left wing conspiracy to discredit him:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/24/rob...vez/index.html

The problem is, of course, that his remarks are now part of the public record, and we have both the text and the context. I quote:

There was a popular coup that overthrew him [Chavez]. And what did the United States State Department do about it? Virtually nothing. And as a result, within about 48 hours that coup was broken; Chavez was back in power, but we had a chance to move in. He has destroyed the Venezuelan economy, and he's going to make that a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent.

You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it.

It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... and I don't think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger and the United ... this is in our sphere of influence, so we can't let this happen.

We have the Monroe Doctrine, we have other doctrines that we have announced. And without question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us very badly.

We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability.

We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.

Looks like he has changed his tune now though:

Still hard to tell what he is saying...he said earlier today that he didn't say "assassinate." Now he is saying he did. Wanna make a bet that a year from now it will be spun as if he never said it, and it was all just a fabrication?

It is very much like his prayer for openings in the Supreme Court. Everyone knows what he said, but that is not the story you will hear later.

[Navaros]

men like Robertson who do not have the cojones to stick by their statements and thusly cower once the "public outcry" becomes too harsh, are hypocrites who give Christianity a bad name

[Lemur]

Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.

Pretty much sums this episode up. There are plenty of people who call themselves Christians who represent the antithesis of Jesus' teachings. Wouldn't know "love thy neighbor as thyself" from "relax, don't do it."
