Pat Robertson - Flip Flop of the Week
'If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. " - Pat Robertson, August 22, 2005

"I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted by the AP , but that happens all the time," - Pat Robertson, August 24, 2005.

1. Standard RW response
"I was taken out of context". Why am I not surprised?

2. What if you actually heard the word "assassination" when you saw the clip?
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 12:16 PM by terrya
Did millions of people "misinterpret" what that lying sack of shit really said?

Hmm. So now Pat Robertson says he's been victimized, and is blaming his problems on others. Isn't that the kind of thing he's been known to claim is the hallmark of liberals and minorities?

We shouldn't assassinate him, but rather kidnap him. Great.

12. "take him out" can mean a number of things....
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 12:32 PM by truebrit71
...like what I wonder?

..."take him out" to the ballgame?
..."take him out" to the movies?
..."take him out" to dinner?
..."take him out" to the countryside and smash his head in with the blunt end of an axe and then call it suicide?

Robertson is a lying motherfucking tool and the only thing that makes me smile is the thought of the 'shit-my-guts-out' look on his face when he finds out that there really IS a hell, and he has a reservation in the "Buggered by Rabid, Wild Animals" suite booked for eternity....

17. Robertson might "take him out" to one of the pits in his diamond
mines.

Robertson has no problems with actual dictators, like Mobutu, who can make him money.

22. Right, ask a SEAL or Spec-Ops trooper to "Take him out" & guess what?
A 500 lb. laser-guided bomb end up on top of "him".

18. What was it Robertson said?
ROBERTSON: There was a popular coup that overthrew him . And what did the United States State Department do about it? Virtually nothing. And as a result, within about 48 hours that coup was broken; Chavez was back in power, but we had a chance to move in. He has destroyed the Venezuelan economy, and he's going to make that a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the continent.

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. And I don't think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger and the United ... This is in our sphere of influence, so we can't let this happen. We have the Monroe Doctrine, we have other doctrines that we have announced. And without question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us very badly. 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.

19. Where is Agent Smith?
Why isn't Agent Smith and the office of Homeland security busting down Pat Robertson's door and extraordinarily rendering him?

He clearly fits the definition of a terrorist. Is this another example of Bushler hypocritically harboring a terrorist?

:shrug:
