Televangelist Pat Robertson isn't the powerful political force he once was, but as the founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, he's still an influential voice on the Christian Right. Yesterday, on his television show, The 700 Club, Robertson delivered a warning to a weary nation: Muslims are the new Nazis:

Robertson: I was thinking, you know, if you oppose Muslims, what is said? Well, you're a bigot, right? Terrible bigotry. I wonder what were people who opposed the Nazis. Were they bigots?

Co-host: Well, in that day I think they were looked down upon and frowned upon.

Robertson: Why can't we speak out against an institution that is intent on dominating us and imposing Sharia law and making us all part of a universal caliphate? That's the goal of some of these people. Why is that bigoted? Why is it bigoted to resist Adolf Hitler and the Nazis and to say we don't want to live under Nazi Germany?

Not to nitpick here, but people who opposed the Nazis were not "looked down upon and frowned upon" as bigots. This was a few decades ago, so it's understandably a little obscure, but the United States actually went to war with Nazi Germany. There was a movie about it and everything.

As you'd probably guess, this is hardly the first time Robertson has compared a large and diverse group of people to Nazis:

Here's Robertson in 1995:

"Since the advent of the head of the Justice Department, Janet Reno, things have gotten out of control. Something is going on that is just very unwholesome in this nation....this is a shocking abuse of federal power. It is reminiscent of the Nazis. Something has got to be done."

And in 1993:

"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians."

Also in 1993:

"When lawlessness is abroad in the land, the same thing will happen here that happened in Nazi Germany. Many of those people involved in Adolph Hitler were Satanists. Many of them were homosexuals. The two things seem to go together."

And in 1990:

"[T]he liberal media and the screenwriters...are the spiritual descendants of Goebbels and the Nazis. They're not just talking about kikes and Jews; they're not talking about, quote, 'n-----s.' They're talking about Christians now."

And in 1984:

"The state is steadily attempting to do something that a few states other than the Soviets and the Nazis have attempted to do, namely, to take the children away from the parents and educate them in a philosophy that is amoral, anti-Christian and humanistic and to show them a collectivist philosophy that will ultimately lead to Marxism, socialism, and a communistic type of ideology."

So as you can see, Muslims are the new gays are the new Clinton Justice Department are the new gays (again) are the new screenwriters are the new public schools are the new Nazis; it's worse than we thought.

Sharon’s stroke is God’s wrath, but I still can’t go home!

Remember Pat Robertson? The man who once urged the US to kill Chavez! Well, now he suggests that Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for the Israeli withdrawal from Gazaa. That's according to our good old friend, Pat Robertson:

He was dividing God's land, and I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the [European Union], the United Nations or the United States of America… God says, 'This land belongs to me, and you'd better leave it alone.

There you have it. Goddidit. It couldn’t be because Sharon was 77 years old (the risk doubles with each decade after age 35), and not exactly a picture of health, oh no it wasn’t that. It was God's punishment and that's what Jewish settlers evicted from the Gaza also said. Well, thanks for clearing that up Pat. So it's not only Palestinians that greeted the news of Sharon battle with death, although majority of them are unmoved as they lost hope in justice!

Anyway, lets keep in mind that the same Pat was granted a piece of Galilee land to make his ‘biblical theme park’, and that is "not giving up the Promised Land" in that sense as it is going to the American Evangelical Church!!! How can it be if it is going to Pat? But giving a piece of land back to Palestinians cause God’s wrath. Remember this leasson!

Well, I'm thinking into turning to Christianity (Evangelical in particular, and no offense here. I admire Christianity with all means) so that I can join Pat's party, and then I might get a chance to return to Palestine. You see, as a Palestinian I can't, but as an evangelical I might get somewhere!

God bless you Pat. I know now what I was missing...

TV host urges US to kill Chavez

Very interesting POV. Harini Calamur (TV producer, film maker, writer & teacher) writes:

When Osama asks for Bush and Blair’s head - he is a nasty terrorist.

But, when Pat Robertson, the founder of Christian Coalition and a former Presidential candidate and someone who makes our rabid right wingers seem like flower power children - calls for the assasination of democratically elected Venezualan president Hugo Chavez - I am sure that he would be reflecting the patriotic sentiments. This is what he said

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.”

Incidentally, the Christian Coalition is one of those entities that screams loudest about the sanctity of life !
It would be interesting to see the Bush Administration bring charges of ‘encouraging terrorism’ on Robertson. But, it will probably be shrugged off as free speech.
Which leads us to an interesting verb conjugation

My country has freedom of speech
yours has rabble rousers
and his incites people to commit terrorist acts.
