Crap Throwing Monkey Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Pat Robertson watch: BBC Link:Rev. Robertson Speaks Again 629325[/snapback] On the one hand, I tend to dismiss Robertson as a fanatic who represents his own narrow viewpoint the vast majority of us don't share and recognize is whacked. On the other hand, we tend to accept as representative of Islam those whose narrow viewpoint the vast majority of Muslims don't share and recognize is whacked. Pat, want to take a wild guess at how you're making us normal Americans look in the world's eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Pat Robertson is to the left what Cindy Sheehan is to the right. Everytime they open their mouth and prove what 'tards they are, someone has to point it out and give them the attention they crave. Maybe if you just ignore them, nobody would notice them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy Sheehan would have dissappeared long ago were it not for the FOX news and Drudge infatuation with her. I hardly see how Robertson with a satellite for a pulpit is less dangerous than a crazy woman who has to beg to get arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tells me more about him than it does her. Maybe not a real bright move on his part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevez is not an enemy of the U.S.? Sheehan has also met with leaders of the Communist Party and other groups who are an Anti-US as one can get.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Please. Pat Robertson is an idiot. Fortunately, he's also totally harmless...unlike the radical islamic imams who urge the youth to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 I guess I can see how somebody could see Cindy Sheehan as morally repugnant, I haven't paid too much attention to what she does. I am more interested in Robertson simply because he is overtly using a religous platform which I have an academic interest in. By my original question, I was really wondering if anyone understood this as a coherent world-view that many American's share. Is Pat Robertson dangerous? I don't know. I think his world view comes from religious apocalyptism that many Americans share and therefore represents part of an influential block of politics that filters candidates based on this predisposition to see world events from the perspective of a religious revelation that may often go unstated. I tend to be dismissive of Sheehan and just more curious about Pat Robertson and James Dobson, etc. Because it is much more broadbased and public.

Mostly, because no one cares about anything unless it hits their life and wallet. For our demographics, it usually doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
