Big Wide World

lol. i'm blown away by the stupidity of extremists. and nowhere is this more apparent than in the words of pat robertson. i mean, i always knew the man was a little "kookoo for cocopuffs", but my goodness, it just keeps getting worse. except now, he's getting america into more international troubles (doesn't america have enough already?). now he's saying that america would be better off assasinating the president of Venezuela so that the government can save lots of money and lives: "You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war... We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."

yes, pat has been saying insane things for quite a while but publicly calling for a political assasination of a leader? doesn't that cross some kind of sanity line in the sand?

although i think my fav most ridiculous quote by robertson was: "Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."(Rev. Pat Robertson, 1992 Republican Convention). How can anyone take this man and what he says seriously?
