Hard to tell if this has been diaried, since the search function is down, so...
A month or so back, leading uberfundamentalist mullah Pat Robertson called for the assasination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Robertson's fatwa caused an immediate shitstorm, which made him backtrack and pull a Bill Bennett ("I was misconstrued and taken out of context" ).
Jump down to see what Mullah Pat is up to now...
Looks like Pat forgot the media asswhipping he took earlier, because
he's back at it again:
PROMINENT US TV evangelist Pat Robertson has accused Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez of giving Osama bin Laden $US1.2 million after the September 11 attacks and of trying to obtain nuclear material from Iran...
..."The truth is, this man is setting up a Marxist-type dictatorship in Venezuela, he's trying to spread Marxism throughout South America, he's negotiating with the Iranians to get nuclear material and he also sent $US1.2 million in cash to Osama bin Laden right after 9/11," Mr Robertson said.
...Asked how he had obtained information on Chavez giving money to bin Laden, Robertson said: "Sources that came to me. That's what I was told."
I ask you - how do we fight this crap? How do we reconcile such bullshit with a base of a couple of million hardcore 700 Club believers who won't listen to a word of reason, but hang on every word that Mullah Pat preaches?
