Pat Robertson, like most conservatives, is obsessed with repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), and fantasizes about Americans staging a coup to overthrow President Obama. House Republicans have already voted to repeal Obamacare 37 times rather than do anything constructive to help the nation. And it seems every conservative has used the words ‘revolution,’ ‘coup,’ ‘overthrow,’ ‘revolt,’ ‘war,’ and ‘violence’ to express their desire to see President Obama toppled one way or another.
On Wednesday, Pat Robertson ventured into the same territory on the 700 Club, saying that Americans need to act like Egyptians and overthrow President Obama and stop Obamacare, his landmark legislative achievement that provides health insurance to millions of Americans, makes prescriptions cheaper for seniors, stop insurance companies from denying people health insurance, and lowers the cost of health care.
Needless to say I doubt the full force of our Nations laws will now be directed at this Fundaloon despite his calling for open insurrection over the airwaves.
Threats and promoting the overthrow of our government should be taken seriously. This man has used the airwaves in the past to cause grievous harm to millions of LGBT's in the form of stochastic terrorism, the fact he now feels confident enough to openly call for rebellion is chilling. All those that do not fit into his narrow viewpoint are now at risk as his followers enact what they see as right as displayed by his leadership.
