Pat Robertson is a piece of shit!

[Loren Littlejohn]

I want to hire a flatbed trailer, PA, and SLAYER to play a gig outside the Westboro Baptist Church during one of his sermons.



Hmm.. That sounds like a worthy cause. Perhaps I should start a fundraiser.

FUCKING PLEASE DO THIS.

Slayer can't be that much to book.

Make sure you get them under contract to burn a bible piss on it etc... Maybe throw in a "God hates the Wesboro Baptist Church and the biggoted cunts that run it."

Sky is the limit with this.

Haha..well, I'm a christian. But I would fully support your fundraiser...
If a person ever walks up to me and ask me to hold a sign "Fags go to hell". I take the carton board, roll it up and shuff it up his ass.

Money well spent! Maybe we could pull some strings and set up a firing range. You know, just for entertainment.

Pat Robertson has been a shitbag since he started hustling shit protein shakes and telling people he could leg press 1000 pounds.

 

[JayB]

Haha still really tired , when I saw this thread I thought it said "Rob Pattinson is a piece of shit." Which is also true. BTW that video has been removed.

I hate politics. With more ferocity I despise political commentators who do nothing but insult each other and create hate on both side of an issue. Can't say I've ever enjoyed, agreed or even felt mediocre towards Pat Robbinson, but how does wishing him to a hell worse than hell help anything?

Pat Robbinson has a biblically indefensible position (not to mention illogical or practical.) Keith Olbermann is piling hate on top of pain and suffering when a "dude, shut up." would have sufficed. Even better a complete refusal to comment on Robbinson's incorrect blabber.

 

[Metaltastic]

I agree Andrew - those Olbermann and especially Chris Hitchens videos are funny and scathing and witty and etc., but however misguided, stupid, and offensive Robertson, Fallwell, and others may be, stooping to their level (not to mention giving them the satisfaction of knowing they've gotten to you) really just seems very immature.

I'm reminded of how moved I was by Obama's commencement speech at bible-humping Notre Dame's graduation (which caused a huge amount of controversy because of the whole killing fetuses thing ) From the OP of a thread I started about it:

Just watched Obama's speech at the Notre Dame University graduation ceremony, and holy fuck what a guy. For those who don't know, Notre Dame is a VERY Catholic institution, and there were a fair amount of protests by students over the fact that a guy who is pro-choice was invited to give a speech there, and of course many Catholic extremists (Randall Terry ) jumped on the bandwagon to offer their support. This attracted a lot of media attention, and I followed it from before any of the speeches started (where they were interviewing people and covering the protests) until the end of his speech, and man what a change I went through.

In the beginning, they had interviews with the extremists, and the aforementioned Randall Terry (apparently one of the bigger shit-slinging pro-life activists), and my first response was "mother fuck this asshole, he's a piece of shit, Obama won, you lost, eat shit and die". But they then interviewed Father James Martin (just some random priest I think), and he was much more chilled out and said something to the effect of "we [Catholics] need to stop being so crazy and abrasive, cuz we're alienating people and making them think we're all fundamentalists", and that was the beginning of my calming down.

But then the president of Notre Dame introduced Obama as a guy who "knows we [Notre Dame] are pro-life, but didn't turn away from people he disagreed with". Obama came up, made his unbelievably convincing speech, and left me realizing that anger and hatred on the left side is no better than on the right, and we have to work together to get along with these people, rather than perpetually wishing they wouldn't exist.

I know I've been guilty of a fair bit of fundamentalist bashing on here (though I'm HARDLY the only one ), but I really am gonna start trying to calm it down a bit and realize that the ultimate goal should be understanding, rather than just winning over the competition. I know these aren't exactly groundbreaking concepts, but it's one of those situations where you can hear the same thing over and over again and think you understand it, but suddenly at one point it just really hits home: [faggyhippymode]Can't we all just get along?[/faggyhippymode]

I understand your position however Keith Olberman is a political commentator stating his opinion on another commentator. Pat Robertson is a religious figure and political commentator spreading malicious falsehoods about a people who are suffering. So yes Olberman is beating a dead horse but beating that horse is his job. He probably wouldn't bother if soooo many people weren't continuing to watch, read and send Robertson money. If anyone here wants a frightening alternative perspective on this story I suggest you go read the comments on foxnews.com.

You can hate the whole system and hate the fact that far more people have seen the replay or Robertson's statements than saw it in the first place however, I think Christians should be very concerned with the way high profile "representatives" of your faith are representing you.

 

[Metaltastic]

I just think everyone should try to ignore him, rather than let themselves get all bent out of shape - there are always gonna be people who say offensive stuff after a tragedy; ever pay a visit to 4chan? (they of course do it for the lulz, rather than the billz/jeebus, but still, it's the same obvious attention-grabbing)

 

[spioraid]

...I think Christians should be very concerned with the way high profile "representatives" of your faith are representing you.

That's something I deal with every day dude. That's why I post on threads like this, to hopefully shed some light on matters that would otherwise be passed over. I'm a protestant, Robertson is a protestant. If I don't say anything, I'm getting lumped together with people like him.

We can debate all day, every day and twice on Sunday on religion. But when it comes down to it you need to have an argument that doesn't contradict itself. These "high profile representatives" are not experienced apologists, and many have extremely damaging doctrines and theologies that are project that aren't even based in Biblical theology.

I've got no problem saying I'm a Christian. But depending on who I'm talking to, I take a lot of taking explaining the difference between me and the Robertsons, the Osteens and the Falwells.

the way I see it, Robertson is abusing his position of power. Maybe it doesn't help to return the abuse on him, however, if no one in an equal position of power says anything about it ... just ignores it ... it allows people like him to go unchecked. Now we ALL know there are far too many stupid people in the world that prefer to just nod their heads and blindly agree when they're told something without ever feeling the need to find out if they are wrong or the source is wrong. What could the end result be here if an opposing statement is not made? .... Hordes of the brainless spewing hateful remarks about a people in most cases they've never even been exposed to or met, let alone try to understand.

Its bullshit, all of it

bible says "eye for an eye" doesn't it? Robertson deserves any and all scathing commentary that will be made about him after this asinine comment. His level of ignorance NEEDS to be brought to the forefront so that hopefully the idiots who may have otherwise blindly gone along with his statements may take a moment (hope hope) to actually THINK about what they're hearing 1st and (hope hope hope) question its validity

I'm not sure where the contradiction is unless you took my post as a personal finger wagging. My point is that as long as Robertson continues to stand as a major TV/Political/Christian figure it is the job of political critics to call him out whether or not it just exacerbates the issue.
However, no one has the ability to truly undermine Robertson besides the people he is directly and tangentially (mis)representing to the world.

My bad dude. Wasn't insinuating you personally, it was you as in a person in a debate. Point in case, Robertson.

C'mon man... these are the words of a fucking automaton. You can't help but say something out of anger about something like this; it's just fucking dispicable. And to THEN try to logicize it, and make it about the people venting their anger... that's EVEN WORSE!

 

[drew_drummer]

Hopefully not. I'm pretty staunchly anti religion.. but I wouldn't ever lump you all together. That's a dire mistake that can be costly to the cause of atheism.

 

[James Murphy]

sorry... but i utterly reject any notion that we should all "take the high road" when some chode like Robertson spews such nonsense... especially not commentators like Olbermann, whose job it is to do so.

fuck Robertson, and Falwell, and every "TVangelical" fuckwit like them, and no "free passes" in the name of holding some moral high ground somehow... as if being quite on a subject grants one the higher ground... pfff
