You know, I would pay cash money to see this guy give the same speech at Clydebank shopping centre.


Little Ireland? He may have a few fans.

As for the heels - it makes it more difficult for them to escape MWAHAHA!

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson called on Monday for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling him a "terrific danger" to the United States.



He's only a "danger" because he isn't a puppet of the Americans.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

I have no doubt that they will never pull him. I mean he has made so many comments. They do seem to put him on TV later and later at night.

It's a fair bet that a significant percentage of his followers are either way.

Indeed. Racial bigotry is still a very strong factor in the religious right. It's just more underhanded than it used to be.

I'm not saying he's right.

 But just because he said it, you guys are blowing up, I mean if Jaque Chirac(sp?) had called for the same thing he'd be getting a pass.

If Jacques Chirac said it I would be wondering if there's something we don't know. Pat Robertson is a clown-- a veritable court jester for the general population, and so we simply enjoy laughing derisively at his demented antics.

Eh...questionable. Most white supremicist groups have their own strange little religons that both do and do not resemble Christianity as the rest of us understand it, and tend to consider even those who are whacko-fringe but still vaguely mainstream heretical. They might like what he's saying, but they don't like the man.

I think I saw this show on TV once while I was flipping channels.  I wonder if the CRTC will tell the Canadian channel to yank the program.

You guys may not have, but we've got some laws up here that may make that comment there against law or broadcasting regulations.

I wonder where this will all lead....if to anything.

Nope, far from it. America is far better in that department. Canada prohibits all sorts of speech, as do most European countries as I recall.

As for the comments, it doesn't matter to me who made them. Advocating the assassination of heads of state, especially democratic ones, is wrong. The fact that Robertson said it only makes him a hypocrite, not to mention a lousy Christian (whatever happened to "turn the other cheeck"), but it's what was said, not who said it, that's the problem. For all that, by no means would I support censoring him or anyone else.

yes, if we censor him we would loose a valuable source of entertainment.

1.) We aren't exactly blowing up

2.) Jaques Chirac actually says intelligent things sometimes

3.) If Jaques Chirac said something stupid like that, he would most likely get flamed a lot worse by the French public then we could ever do. He isn't exactly the most popular person in France.

In Germany the Nazi party and everything Nazi-ish is against the law.

[color=66ff00]Yeah, this is the case as far as I'm aware. Hence the exodus to other countries.

Did you know that it's illegal in most EU countries to be a holocaust denier? I was reading about it on wikipedia last week.

And what are the chances of the EU adopting a "all speech is free, no matter what" clause? I'de say somewhere between zero and none. It's a shame, but recent polls show that people (not just in Europe, in Canada, Australia and elsewhere) don't hold liberty in high regard when faced with the terrorist boogeyman. I just wish people had the brains to figure out the statistical likelyhood of being caught up in a terrorist attack, and get on with their lives.

The EU thing would as much be about the lasting effects of World War 2 as any current terrorist problem.  With specific reference to the holocaust denier stuff.

I think... you'll find that a lot of surveys show people are willing to give up civil liberties for security, but they'll become very, very quiet when asked what civil liberties they'd give up.

Oh, and Lib - if Chirac said it he'd be rightly castigated.  Probably far more harshly than Robertson, because Chirac isn't a laughing stock.  For the most part.

 We're not criticisng Pat Robertson because he's a right wing Christian, we're criticising him because he's an irrational, fundamentalist, bigoted quasi-facist bawsack with no interest beyond his own self-propagandization.

IIRC, the EU has been seeking or is seeking to question people poeple with out lawyers present and to do random searches of businesses.
