I have long ceased enjoying reading the daily news for educational value, but because it has become habit over the years I have designed other ways of entertaining myself when flipping through the headlines. One game I like to play is Find the Hypocrite. It’s fun. We’ll start with an easy one: here.
Why do we here at OMA love Christian Conservatives? Because they simultaneuously advocate the aggressive waging of war to spread psuedo-”Democracy” while preaching the assasination of democratically elected leaders — both against the clear teachings of their own professed religion. Awesome!
As a constant confrencer, do you find it hard to...

I bet HP loves the CC’s.

I’m ok with CC’s in general, but really, Pat Robertson is a nobody in the GOP. I think this is greatly overblown. Every Republican I know, including myself, whether CC or not, considers him to be a great big nobody. He may have certain followers here and there, but really, he has a very limited amount of power in the GOP. To say that the majority party represents his views is even less fair than saying that the majority of Democrats represents what Al Sharpton runs and around and babbles about all day.

Geez, OSO, if we all played that game, we don’t have to look in the papers…….all we have to do……..(every single one of us), is just look in the mirror.
And, I for one disagree with HP. Pat is ‘somebody’ with a lot of Republican voters — Republican voters that are part of the GOP……….seriously, he’s a major player when it comes to the voting realm. On another note, what he said was probably inappropriate, however, here is a question that I have:
Is Venezuela a launching pad for terrorists?

I don’t watch the 700 club, in fact, I hardly watch television, I flipped on the tube to his station shortly after 9-11 to see what he was talking about, but that was it and I don’t recall him being hateful when I watched him during that time-frame.
So, Abogado, let’s hear it from you……….map it out for us and please list all of the constant hateful un-Christian things he has said.
I will be waiting and in fact I have ‘subscribed to comments’ because I am interested in finding out what hateful things he has said.

What the hell!
Oso……this is weird! I will e-mail you what was supposed to have been posted…….I keep getting error messages after I make a post.

Abogado, it is my understanding that Pat made a public apology.

Why not spend 5 paragraphs?
Heck, everyone knows this was a controversial topic. It’s a good idea to try to get other people to understand where he is coming from, right?

“It takes no time at all to find hateful things that have come out of Robertson’s mouth. Just a cursory glance at an article on the front of google news at the moment provides a few of the more egregious examples”………….
Geez, Abogado! I went to the Japan article you provided and I see no credible source referring to his alleged quote. Dude, come on now……give me something more credible in regards to what Japan Times has written about him. Seriously.
So who’s the bigger dummy?
Pat making his comment towards Chavez and then apologizing for it…..or is Chavez the bigger dummy for thinking that our prez. is out to get him?
It sounds like a bunch of dummies to me, and it seems like the main problem you have with Pat is his stance on gays. That’s my take anyway.

I think the CC’s do have lots of pull and he is in that chain of influence. He has 63 million viewers and is no light weight. The Democrats under estimated the power of the CC last election and really is to blame for pumping them up. Anyway he is a private citizen with a show and has a right to an opinion.
If we had done this to Saddam we would have saved many lives and he would be dead. No big loss. Chavez is in bed with Castro and Castro is a murderous dictator who keeps his people in poverty. Give it some time he will step on it and the world will see Chavez for what he is. I am certain Robertson said what he did out of American interest, but I am also concerned with the killing and oppression of the opposition party there in Venezuela.
The people that come out in protest are not paid American protesters. They are real people that don’t want another Castro telling them what is pest for them.
There are those that like his brand of socialism because they are getting the peace of the pie. When the pie starts to get low you get un invited from the table. Then you start strong arming the ones that got you there and then you are the one at the top for good. Castro is teaching him well.
Several of Castro’s Generals that helped him over through Batista were executed after they wanted to have election. This guy is no better. Not as in your face as Castro but no better.
Jesus Christ was not prohibiting self defense by Christians in a manner permitted by law. He also said, “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.” (Luke 11:21 RSV). No “turn the other cheek” for burglars or looters, and by extension, every other sort of common criminal.
Maybe in Pat Robertson’s mind this hit on Chavez is protecting his home. In a broader sense you know.

What if Christian leaders issued Fatwas like the Muslims leaders that call for killing of Jews and Americans? There is no out cry for that. I don’t see the Muslim leaders making it clear that they are pro American.

Very true. Everything you said is on point.
