    Pat Robertson= Osama Bin Laden?

      As many of you know, there has been a controversy whirling in the political realm this week. A few days ago, Christian Broadcast Network founder and televangelist Pat Robertson called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on his broadcast; a storm erupted immediately following his unexpected tirade. With that action, Robertson just emulated Osama Bin Laden in that he called for murder without actually being the doer.
      Bin Laden is a terrorist who does not murder people himself but orders his crazed followers to do so. Robertson did exactly that as he stated on his show, "If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him [Chavez], I think we really ought to go ahead and do it." He, the influential man that he is, claims that we should kill a person breaking the "Thou shall not kill" principle. His Television show ratings amount to about 1 million viewers a day so obviously many people look up to him. The only thing that really worries me is their position in society. Osama Bin Laden is a "political" figure rather than a religious one though he attempts to justify his atrocious actions through Islam (which does not condone his immorality). Pat Robertson on the other hand IS a religious figure who often intervenes politically. All I am saying is if people globally, including myself, call Bin Laden a terrorist, why can't the same thing apply to Pat?

    Your argument lacks common sense.
    Pat Robertson does not hide in the deserts behind an MK47. He does not record videos of himself calling for the deaths of innocent men and children (infidels). He does not spend millions to make and train an army to overthrow governments. Your logic sir is very inconclusive. If you cannot see the difference between a real terrorist and someone who is frustrated with Dictators (because that is what Hugo Chavez is. a Thug an a Criminal) then you my friend are morally bankrupt.
    Even if he was serious, I know i wont lose any sleep when someone calls for the death of a Dictator.

    Pat Robertson is exactly like Osama Bin Laden, and in many ways, he's worse. Unlike Bin Laden, he seems to be prone to running off at the mouth before he thinks. Bin Laden seems to have a plan, Robertson seems to want nothing more than to be noticed. The guy is a terrorist and I would love nothing more than for him to get yanked off the air and blacklisted from all broadcasting over this.

    It may be true that people sholdn't be saying that they should kill someone else, but before you call Pat Roberson a terrorist you should look who is he saying should be killed, cause if i'm right you don't know anything about Chavez and what is happening to Venezuela. Bush started a war which is literally ordering people to be killed, but because saddam is a terrorist you say bush is the "good guy". Then when Pat Roberson says Chavez should be killed, they say pat is a terrorist. Chavez is a comunist he is turturing people because they don't agree with his views and if you say Pat Roberson is the same as Bin laden then you are an idiot.

    There is a big difference between the killing of people and the claims of killing people. Furthermore the guy is just nuts =P. People might listen to him but what is questioned is the influence of those people and the influence of Robertson himself on the people who make decisions like this.

    Still, disturbing

    of course the same thing can be said of Mr Robertson.. it can be said of anyone who orders people killed in the name of their own aspirations.. my concern though is was Mr Robertson being serious.. if so, we in America need to be concerened about why we allow such individuals to get such popularity.
