Robertson: our Bin Laden

[Milly]

If there was any doubt that the Christian Coalition and extremist muslim groups were just different sides of the same coin, Robertsons comments about Chavez should erase that fantacy. But saddly it wont.

If an Islamic cleric in the US called fatwa on the Saudi head of state, instead of a homegrown religious fascist like Pat Robertson, he would be disappeared to Guantanimo.

At the same time, Eric Rudolf is quietly getting a plea bargain in order to keep trial testimony out of the public discourse during the same period of time as a Supreme Court nomination.

I think the thing people need to remember about this is Robertson was a candidate in 92 for the republican nomination for president and he handed over NC to the president in the last election he is not just a religious bag of nuts he is a political finger and very active in the party. Robertson is just as active as any member of the party I would even say he is a party leader. He has been in meetings with the president in his first term several times. The president and Ken Melman need to come out and distance them self’s from these comments. I think all the Dems like Howard Dean and all of the rest of the heavy hitters get out there and point out that this is the Neocon agenda and help show the country this is what they are and the type of behavior they condone.

Fact checker: He ran for president in 1988.

I am so tired of that hate-mongering windbag. He ought to be thrown into a cage filled with blood hungry babboons.

I think the "doubt" about the religious right's equivalence to extremist muslims stems from their relatively non-violent approach to denouncing heathens and condeming social change. A new outbreak of violence against homosexuals and abortion bombings might "erase that fantasy," but more rhetoric won't.

edit- a better example would be if Robertson had called for his followers to assassinate Chavez, instead of saying the US government should, and if they actually did assassinate him or commit some other violent act against Venezuela
