In Robertson's Tirade Against Chavez
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 07:51 AM by SHRED
He claimed that Communism and Islamic Fundamental Jihadists would reside together in Venezuela.
How the hell would these two groups ever get along?
What an idiot.

He also said Chavez has "ruined" the Venezuelan economy.
Further proof that Robertson has go off his meds.

2. He doestn't think strategically, he thinks theologically
All these groups are bad and are existentially in league, along with the devil and gays. Whether they are strategically working together is a reality-based question and not his concern.

Therefore

Jihadis = commies = Saddam = whatever the next target is = bad.

3. Robertson and the RW are closer to the jihadists than Chavez is
the RWers and the jihadists are natural allies against the commies.

4. Trigger words for his followers
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 08:03 AM by southpaw
The words 'communists' and 'muslim fundamentalists' immediately trigger a defensive, condemnatory reaction from the followers of Robertson. They need not make sense in any sort of context.

His god is the dollar, the yankee dollar.

6. When Robertson says "communist" ...
... he isn't talking about followers of a specific ideology. It's just a buzz word he uses to indicated "every other group I don't like but am too lazy to list individually right now."
