MSNBC Poll: Did Pat Robertson go too far ?

[IDemo]

By suggesting that assassinating Hugo Chavez would be cheaper than going to war with Venezuela?

[MaineDem]

1. Do you mean Robertson? (nt)

[ElectroPrincess]

32. Damn MSNBC, what a remarkably STUPID QUESTION!?!

[stevedeshazer]

40. No kidding

Dumbest question ever.

[markus]

2. Is advocating terrorism legal in the United States?

If not, when will Rev. Robertson be outbound for Gitmo?

How soon before they start advocating the murder of opponents at home? We all know where the ditry war of the 1980s in the Americas lead. Right now the US is kidnaping, toturing and murdering alleged terrorists. How long before they branch out like their trainees did all across South and Central America?

[othermeans]

6. As soon as he and Jesus get his race horses back in their stables

[Al-CIAda]

17. Diamonds, he loves to kill people over diamonds. nt

[mattclearing]

3. That's a lovely idea. I bet Al Qaeda says the same thing about Bush.

[farmbo]

4. The Delusional Faux-Christian Right. is at a mere 15% in this poll.

That 15% "No" vote should be the only 15% the Democrats need to conceed in future elections.

That 15% is Rove's only true base.

[rateyes]

5. Sad thing about that poll...

is that 15% said NO, and 3% said NOT SURE--who thinks like that?

[win_in_06]

11. Now up to 4% not sure

weird

[rateyes]

25. Welcome to DU!!

:hi:

[othermeans]

7. I think inadvertently he has wound up protecting Chavez. By

yapping about an assassination he has given credence to something that Chavez has been talking about for some time.

[Mr Rabble]

27. Yup. I agree with you on that.

This raised profile will hopefully protect him from the BFEE.

[Catchawave]

8. He always goes too far....

here's another one of his insane comments:

"Pat Robertson's Perspective," April - May 1992; "The strategy against the American radical left should be the same as General Douglas MacArthur employed against the Japanese in the Pacific . . . bypass their strongholds, then surround them, isolate them bombard them, then blast the individuals out of their power bunkers with hand-to-hand combat. The battle for Iwo Jima was not pleasant, but our troops won it. The battle to regain the soul of America won't be pleasant either, but we will win it."

===========
Nasty little sh*t, isn't he ? The above comment sounds like he's declared a jihad on liberals :crazy:

[arewenotdemo]

23. Doncha just love the Chickenhawk perspective on war?

Gets em off, to say the least.

[JAbuchan08]

30. "The above comment sounds like he's declared a jihad on liberals"

and people like Eric Rudolph have answered the call.

[MadHound]

9. That would be a big YES

But is he going to be called on his decidely unChristian call for assasination? Hell no! His syncophant followers will lap it up, the RW spin machine will make it go away, and thus even more hate will enter our nation's soul.

Christ taught that one shouldn't kill, and should practice tolerance, with no exceptions. Apparently Pat wasn't in Sunday School when that lesson was being handed out.

What is even sadder is that RWers yell out about bringing democracy to all of the world. However when a democratic country threatens their interests all the sudden they're all for getting rid of it, by all means neccessary. Hypocrites all.

[Catchawave]

10. Discussing this poll on MSNBC coming up ..n/t

[magellan]

12. Feel the love, Pat (nt)

[Mr_Spock]

13. Apparenlty we had 15% murderers in this poll

Republicans seem to favor killing their enemies - is that the game they want to play? I wonder...

[Booster]

14. Well, I'm glad to see that 81% of us thinks he went too far. The

way things have been going, I almost expected it to be even. Why hasn't Robertson been carted off to Gitmo?

[LoZoccolo]

15. 16% no, 80% yes, 4% not sure

And why did they put "no" first?

[AzDar]

16. You have to wonder....WTF would happen if a FOREIGN religious

zealot advocated assassinating Shrub??? Oh wait......

[NAO]

18. Could Robertson be Extradited to Venezuela? (Please)

He made a terrorist threat against Venezuela. Should the US bother with the International law process or should we just fire some cruise missiles into Regents University, follow by a "Shock and Awe" bombing campaign that will bring democracy to that little terrorist theocracy.

I think it is important for US Space Command to be sure to destroy all the satellites of the TBN/CBN/700 network. They need to be taken out so as to disable the American Taliban's Command, Control, and Communication infrastructure.

[Contrary1]

19. And it doesn't matter

how long it takes, how many innocent bystanders we knock off, or how many Americans die for this "noble cause".

I'm only 53. I have cataracts on both eyes, arthritis in both knees, diabetes, high blood pressure, and missing a couple body parts, but I'm sure I would qualify for enlistment, since the National Guard is busy elsewhere.

Sign me up!

[librechik]

22. I wonder if Chavez will speak out about this and call Bush on it

well, do you support Robertson's call, W?

[NAO]

26. Chavez should ask Bush why he supports terrorists in his own country

religious extremists like Pat Robertson certainly qualify as terrorists.

Besides Robertson's explicitly stated aim of subverting the secular government of the United States and installing a Christian Theocracy.

Pat Robertson is guilty of making terrorist threats against SCOUTS justices and foreign leaders, and he is openly operating a seditious organization.

[CardInAustin]

20. A poll?

How can this even be a question? How is "no" even an option?

It should read:

"Did Pat Robertson go to far?

Pick the following option

_ Yes!"

[JVS]

21. I wish he had suggested the idea before we got stuck in Iraq.

That would have saved a lot of lives.

[Imagevision]

24. Robertson wrong? - No, The US. should bomb anyone for OIL!!

sarcasm!

[Wizard777]

28. We'll know for sure when Venezuela Issues an arrest warrant.

I would favor his extradition.

[Imagevision]

29. Nominated for greatest! - we should assassinate anyone 4 oil

Bush-Blair leadership is like a bad Hollywood movie!

[marc_the_dem]

38. isn't it in the bible...

That's its okay to kill for oil.... That's the way Jesus would want it.....

[StudentOfDarrow]

31. Kick.

:kick:

[Pam-Moby]

33. Done and thanks n/t

[Check12]

34. I have an Idea

Start a campaign to assasinate Pat Robertson.
Make a detailed statement about the fact that Pat Robertson is dangerous to America. What would happen?

[Initech]

35. Robertson should lose his broadcasting license AND his tax-exempt status

For this. Really, this is way beyond conservative idiocy and more toward either conservative extremism or conservative assholishness.

[Auntie Bush]

36. I can't believe 17% are such fools/assholes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BamaBecky]

37. I bet there are more........they just haven't discovered the site yet! lol
