SilverNRed Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Pat Robertson must be a friggin genius. He was completely off the national radar right up until he suggested we kill the prick leader of Venezuela. I don't think I've ever cared about a "news story" less in my entire life. This crap makes me nostalgic for the reports about the missing girl in Aruba. At least that story might have something to do with my life someday if they ever find her alive, bring her back, and I meet her someday and we start dating. Pat Friggin' Robertson could do almost anything and still have zero effect on my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 CNN Thingy This guy needs a new PR person. His original quote: Nice try, Pat. 416942[/snapback] Well, to the unschooled and uninitiated, it might seem like Robertson made contradictory statements or that he flat out lied. However, if you were learned in subtleties of Intelliget Lying theory, you would see how perfectly sound his statements were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their organization and donor lists are top notch, and were given to Ralph Reed. I say this with some grudging respect, this is not too far off the mainstream. They are kingmakers.

chicot Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Here's a link, Polyanna. Article 1 You must be nuts to think any South American election outside of say Brazil, Argentina or Chile is honest and fair. 416698[/snapback] Here's a link to a press release from the Organisation of American States which had observers monitoring the recall referendum: oas link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicot Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 The mention of Jimmah Carter in the press release you cited tells me all I need to know. 417254[/snapback] I see. So "Jimmah" Carter is such a demonic figure that not only him and his organisation must be disbelieved but even anyone that dares to mention him must likewise be disbelieved. Fair enough.

Wacka Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 He sees no problems in corrupt elections in other governments, but makes statements that the 2004 election had lots of problems. He should stick to building homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I say "you", Chicot, I'm not referring to you personally, just the general "you" as in anyone who's narrow minded and bigoted enough to never read beyond the label...and make sweeping judgements based thereupon.

He should stick to building homes. 417290[/snapback] I know full well the problems some have with Carter, which is why I linked to the other organisation monitoring the Venezuelan elections. It seems to me that those who are crying foul over the results have little more to go on than unsubstantiated complaints by opposition supporters, the same sort of complaints that they rubbished when they were heard in Florida. Personally I prefer to listen to what the independent observers who were there monitoring the process have to say, rather than to those with such an obvious axe to grind. I think a more likely answer to the question of why Chavez continues to win elections is to be found in accounts like these: Terrible goings-on in Venezuela The thing is when you provide things like education, healthcare, the prospect of a better life to people who previously had nothing, they tend to appreciate that and support you for it.

Fan in Chicago Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I also like that somehow kidnapping him and I assume imprisoning him, would be acceptable to Pat. His statement is double-assinine. 416949[/snapback] Completely agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
