1. Fuck that.
Nothing about him will ever satisfy me. Unless he happens to get fed into a mulcher. Slowly. Feet First.

2. He's a lying scumbag. Everything out of his mouth is a fucking lie.
Fuck no, his "apology" doesn't satisfy me.

4.  "I didn't say 'assassination.' I said [we] should 'take him out'"
For coffee? For a sundae? On a bicycle built for two?

6. I am shaking with MORAL OUTRAGE!

No... I am not satisfied.

8. Oh, sorry, I didn't mean assassinate him. . .
I meant kidnap him, or overthrow him. Gosh, golly, kill him? No, you've misinterpreted me.

Thanks, Pat, for that clarification. Thank goodness you didn't say that while baring a breast. Otherwise you might be penalized for these remarks.

10. Yeah, sure...
"The controversy began Monday when Robertson called Chavez "a terrific danger" bent on exporting Communism and Islamic extremism across the Americas."

Somehow Communism and Islamic extremism seem go together like Peace and george walker bu$h.

Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 05:08 PM by khashka
He's a prime example of what has gone wrong with Christianity. You gotta talk the talk and walk the walk. Talking the talk and then acting like an asshole doesn't cut it.

And no amount of "Oh, gee! I'm sorry" can change that. Playing games with semantics only increases his sin......

Khash.

15. No.
He didn't really apologize. First he lied instead. Then he said he didn't say assassinate. Then he had "qualifiers" on his supposed smarmy apology. I bet he had his fingers crossed behind his back too.

Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 05:05 PM by Iris

18. "I was misinterpreted by the press."


Apparently there's a lot of that going around. Katherine Harris was saying the same thing just last week.

Oh those poooor misunderstood nutjob wingnuts.

But, I find the trend of right wingers falling all over themselves attempting to deny and then retract their statements amusing.

25. Of course not!
It's the same old bullshit thing of apologising when you get caught - he doesn't mean it, he's just trying to smooth people down.

30. He said "take him out" just like George Jr. said "take care of anyone..."
Us crazy liberals are just flying off the handle and mis-representing everything.

He MEANT "Take him out... for a glass of wine."

And George Jr. meant "I will take care of anyone involved with the Plame leak ... by giving them a nice promotion."

We're always jumping the gun and taking things out of context.

38. I am sure he
is only apologizing b/c he "has" too! But I will say that I am glad he did even if it doesn't mean shit. I don't believe he is really sorry for one minute, but it's better than nothing. But he's a huge hypocrite.
