Here’s an interesting wingnut concept: if you claim to be rejecting “political correctness,” then whatever you’re saying must be the truth, as they are opposites. For example: Pat Robertson rejects political correctness w/r/t the Ft. Hood killings. All clear! Therefore the truth must be this: Islam is “not a religion,” but “a violent political system bent on the overthrow of the governments of the world and world domination.” Oh right! Like those “caliphates” Mitt Romney used to teach us about.
That is the ultimate aim. And they talk about infidels and all this, but the truth is that’s what the game is. So you are dealing with not a religion. You’re dealing with a political system. And I think we should treat it as such and treat its adherences as such as we would members of the Communist Party or members of some fascist group.
Fundies in any religion are all terrible and insane and violent. Why can’t we all just agree on this? Because, because, because… Mah jeebus es better den yr jeebus. Says so in da Bubble.
Pat Robertson on Ft. Hood: Islam is ‘not a religion’ and Muslims should be treated like ‘some fascist group.’ [Think Progress]
Actually, Pat’s old buddy Charles Taylor of Liberia was pretty much of a fascist dictator. But the two of them had this arrangement regarding a gold mine. God helps them that helps themselves.
HOW DARE YOU INSULT CHRISTIANITY!11! EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT ALL MUSLINS EV REE WARE WANNA KILL EVERY 1
Give him a Werther’s Original to suck on so he shuts the hell up for a minute.
Dis here Kin Jeems Bubble beats yer durty hippy “Good News” Bubble!
This man is stuck in the McCarthy era. And it’s possibly ‘Charlie’. Senility is an ugly thing.
If we should treat Muslims as members of some fascist group, then does that mean that American conservatives should support them up until the point we’re actually at war with them (and in some cases, like Prescott Bush, even after), and attempt to push America to be more like a Muslim country?
But we can’t trust them, unlike Christians, who certainly have never tried to control governments, or take over the world. Nope, never.
I don’t want to sound politically correct either, but Pat Robertson eats placentas for breakfast.
Hey Pat, ever heard the one about throwing stones and glass houses??
And I thought Pat was in league with the Muslins on account of thier attacking New York b/c of all the geyz and what not…
Gah, isn’t this bastard dead yet? I mean, c’mon Pat, Satan’s a-waiting!
How exactly would Pat treat a member of the Communist Party?
They sure took down that blog entry about witches blessing halloween candy quickly. Why does Pat Robertson hate the truth?
He wasn’t non-discharged because of PC. He remained in the military because of the due process guaranteed in that pesky Constitution. Oh the irony.
Hey! I thought the spooge-filled, discarded, wrinkled, scum sack thread was farther on down the page?
Does Pat know what marijuana smells like? I’m guessing yes, he does.
I wish Pat would go back to pimping his Jeezus Bars and Mir-Ah-Cul Powder and just shut the fuck up about Islam. Show how many leg presses you can do, old man!
I’d love to consult the Dead Sea Scrolls’ version of the Gospel of John. Just to see if there’s a Greek equivalent for “Pat Robertson” anywhere near “Jesus wept.”
Pat Robertson also fucks dogs.
Pat Robertson? Shouldn’t he be bench pressing 7000 pounds somewhere?
Perhaps a good running mate for Palin ‘12?
red sky: Hey now, fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist Muslims are very different. One group thinks that some guy who may have lived 2000 years ago was one of god’s greatest prophets; the other that the dude was god’s son, and somehow also god at the same time. And, um, their rituals are kind of different; and one group worships on Sundays, one on Fridays, and uh… hmmm, that’s about it.
Q: If it’s not a religion how do you explain all that prayer, fasting, and the Hajj?
A: TRUE religions yell, overeat, and make their pilgimages to Walmart.
Hasan wanted out of the military and Robertson wanted him out of the military.
Therefore… Pat Robertson agrees with a Muslim killer and is against the U.S. military.
Jim Demintia: But he doesn’t marry them, like the libruls want to do. That makes all the difference.
I’m not worried, Pat, what with the 900 FT Jesus we got an’ all.
JMP: I think Pope Benedict clearly explained the differences between Christianity and Islam, that went over real well.
I hear this guy’s dating Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame! Bitch must be an archaeologist er sumpn to be diggin THIS fossil. O burn!
He does realize that Ft. Hood isn’t an actual, you know, hood, doesn’t he?
(Shit. I hope I didn’t just give Stormfront any ideas…)
What ever happened to “Communism is not a political system or and economic system but a religion”?
I’m getting too old to keep it all straight any more. I’m so confused.
Inside Pat’s brain:
Politically correct=feeling empathy
Feeling empathy=feeling bad about screwing people over
feeling bad about screwing people over=not enough profits
not enough profits=not being rich
not being rich=having to admit I’m actually a fat ugly loser
The worrying resurgance of bed bugs in some American cities can be traced directly to the boy prostitutes Pat imports from the West Indies.
Gorillionaire: He loves Oral.
Pat Robertson isn’t dead yet?
Damn you Wonkette, now I went poking around on the CBN Web site and I don’t have any eye bleach.
In 2007, 40 percent of those [newly diagnosed AIDS] cases were black women. Now, HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death for black women between the ages of 25 and 34.
One reason behind this can be traced to behavior known in the African American community as living on the Down Low or “DL.”
The term is used to describe a man in a heterosexual relationship who secretly sleeps with men. It is an issue that has many outraged….And what may be even scarier is that these men are found in all segments of the population, not just the African American community.
If only it were confined to the African American community.
According to a “pastor” who wrote a book about it, “You’ve got a third of African American men who are actually on the ‘Down Low.’” Uh-huh.
The article actually gets worse. And the asshole pastor who wrote a book about this made a video with all kinds of crazy stats, which change as the video goes on.
His explanation for this rampant homosexuality among African American men? “At the end of the day it comes from the pit of hell.” Just like Pat Robertson.

You know who else didn’t want to sound “politically correct?”
Christianity isn’t a religion, it is the longest running one book book club.
….what did….. he….. what….. i….. what…..
Guppy06: Hitler.
Guppy06: Glenn Beck?
ManchuCandidate: Only the naturally expelled ones, infidel.
Christianity is not a religion and Christians should be treated like some fascist group. But then, since fascist groups actually were Christian, that might be a bit too close to the truth.
Sooooo, the military loves Islam so much they refused to “go after him” by releasing him from service - like he desperately wanted?
Your brain wants to die, old man.
In today’s idiotic society, only a person with a such an advanced and irrational personal sense of religious persecution can claim that America is too indulgent of other people’s religion.
One of my proudest moments was giving a speech where I called ol’ Pat a bigot, with his granddaughter in the audience. I have a little fantasy that he heard about that speech.
red sky: The biggest difference to me is that the Muslims were not involved in murdering half the global Jewish population in the 1940s. The Christians however were.
PAT ROBERTSON IS THE ANTICHRIST!! HE IS THE SON OF THE DEVIL!! HE IS DAMIAN! HE IS NOT OF THIS EARTH!!
RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! PAT ROBERTSON IS THE DEVIL!
bluemoose: Is it that bad? I couldn’t watch.
thefrontpage: I would have figured the devil to be somewhat competent.
“Fundies in any religion are all terrible and insane and violent. Why can’t we all just agree on this?”
Now where would be the fun in that?
Doesn’t Pat have a direct line to Jeebus? Why can’t he get his imaginary friend to just smote these heretic losers? Maybe take out the Jews and Catholics while he’s at it.
With google, mapquest, whitepages.com, and a myriad of other internet-ish conveniences, you’d think that some fascists from this world domination thing would find Pat Robertson and his polyester clad friends and show them how dominant and fascisty they are. But no. They just insist on praying five times a day and eating tasty foods like baba ghanoush and kebabs and yummy pilafs.
So, Pat, the Muslim people who died in the twin towers–they were part of this political system, too?
Robertson: Islam is “a violent political system bent on the overthrow of the governments of the world and world domination.”
I wouldn’t know. I have never been able to get very far in reading the Holy Koran, mostly because about every other verse says that I am going to hell if I don’t believe the previous verse. I know my reaction must be bigoted or sexist or something, but there it is.
Aurelio: Infidelist speech is hate speech.
Nice to hear a republican encourage big lawsuits against the government.
I didn’t listen -along with never listening to Fox or Snowbilly. I hate evangelists. They are bloodsuckers except for that guy who wears the Nehru jackets- I think he sucks something else. I hope Pat Robertson has an aneurysm or a stroke- now.
Dude, don’t be caliphatin’.
There’s a relief. I always thought Christians believed in making everyone in the whole world Christian. I guess I was right. And now Pat Robertson has started a jihad. That’s just great.
Hey, Pat, project much?
Hey Pat, shut the fuck up you twat.
Now i’m confused: who do i want to die first? Pat or Dick or Donald?
Wait, did Pat Robertson just defame Islam?
Noonan:
I always remember watching that commercial as a kid:
“Grandpa always used to give it to me, sweet and creamy and just plain good …. the Werthers weren’t bad either”
Uh, oh.
Someone got Blinged…

I’m totes pouring some boiling oil down someone’s throat tomorrow. Clearly, I’ve been misguided all this time. God forgive me.
Extemporanus: Other than being a total asswipe for the last 70 years, doesn’t he look a little more Haggard than usual?
Robophobia: I’ll tip my waitress. You gonna be here all week?
Great Old Ones Party: Sorry man, I’ve got crickets cued up on my iPhone, at least I didn’t tell the one about Falwell, the nun, and the three-eyed pitbull.
JMP: Unlike Jesus, there’s hard evidence that someone called Muhammad was a pretty big deal in 7th century Arabia. They still have the letter he wrote to the Byzantine emperor respectfully suggesting that he convert, somewhere.
Great Old Ones Party: Robophobia: At least being Haggard is curable.
Another difference between fundamentalist Muslins and Christians- Muslins neither eat nor physically resemble swine
(Psst. Psst. Hey, did you HEAR? Jesus was a JEWBOY!!!!!!!)
This fucker needs a good stroke.
Katydid: Well, say what you will about the reasoning and factual basis. But it DOES explain “Michael Steele” or whatever his/her/its name is.
Kinda like a pig in a blanket, Pat could be onto something.
Back some years ago (8-ish? 12-ish?) when PatRo was running for President my goddaughter was in high school and had to write a paper about–a presidential candidate or summat like that, and she chose Pat Robertson to try to get a handle on him. So my best friend said mah baby goddaughter kept walking up the hallway to where the family was, shaking her head, saying “YOU WON’T BELIEEVE THIS!”
Simple solution: you consolidate all the Christian fundamentalists in some place like Texas, that doesn’t matter to anyone and besides they’re mostly all there anyway. You get Israel to help you build a big wall around it, and then airdrop all the Muslim fundamentalists in there. Stir vigorously and let it set for 10 years. All our problems will be magically solved. At the end of 10 years they either learned to live together or killed each other off; it doesn’t really matter which. We are fundamentalist-free and all the rest of us Christians, Jews and Muslims can get on with our lives.
Needs more mascara, and big hair.
doloras: True; we actually know quite a bit about Mohammad’s life for certain, while there’s no real evidence that other guy even existed in the first place.
Pat is a Muslim? Muslims are Southern Baptists? I’m confused.
SnarkyMark: Yeah, minister of religion, after she makes fundy prot’ism the state religion.
problemwithcaring: Sooooo, the military loves Islam so much they refused to “go after him” by releasing him from service - like he desperately wanted?
Your brain wants to die, old man.
In today’s idiotic society, only a person with a such an advanced and irrational personal sense of religious persecution can claim that America is too indulgent of other people’s religion.
Perhaps, you haven’t been listening to the mainstream media in say, oh, the last few days, but that is exactly the narrative that they are running with, now. That is that the military was being too PC, and that’s why the shooting happened. Yes, this is your mainstream media. If it were possible for a human head to literally implode from being offended, the blast radius of my mellon would have taken out the entire state of Michigan.
PickneyPinchback: Actually, for most of the last 1500 years, Jews and minority Christians were rather safer in Muslim countries than in Christian ones. Safer in the Byzantine Empire than in Catholic western Europe.
JMP: both believe that if you follow a million rules, G-d will make you rich, but if you break a single rule, G-d will torment you forever and ever. Muslims have the advantage that their rules are more clearly thought out and discussed. Also, Pat’s sort of Babtist have largely abandoned poor people, and people in jail. You get converted in jail to Islam, nowadays, not Pentecostalism or Baptistry.
Zhu Bajie
JMP: No, in all seriousness, Jesus was a historical person. Lots of pagans wrote about him said he was a soldier’s bastard or something. It doesn’t prove Xty “true” per se.
