12. Your vote was not counted.

Look at your results, and look at the original poster's results. I voted after both of you, and my vote wasn't counted, either.

5. I hesitiate to even play into such a vote. it is a stupid question for cn

n even to be asking.

[LSparkle]

4. What I want to know is: Who is the 20% who think it WASN'T?

Who in their "right mind" (oh, THAT explains it ... ) would say such comments were acceptable?

[Pam-Moby]

7. This poll count is not moving with the vote.

:shrug:

[depakid]

6. Do you think Pat Robertson should ever be allowed on CNN?

or any other broadcast channel?

That's probably a more relevant question....

[mom cat]

8. Thanks for the heads up! 80%Pas was off base!

[Beaver Tail]

9. Now THIS is amusing

snip

In November 2002, Robertson charged that the Muslim holy book, the Quran, incites followers to kill people of other faiths.i]


NEWSFLASH - So does the Bible

[robinmd]

10. He's a nut.

Can't for the life of me figure out why this is big news.

[A Simple Game]

14. It probably isn't big news. But,

by saying what he did, Robertson takes a little heat, but the whole country is saying; This Chavez must be a really bad person for someone like Pat to say such a thing.

The word is out that Chavez is a bad person, if and when the US gets caught doing something to Chavez, the US public just shrugs.

[NYC]

11. How do 25,000 people think it is not out of line

to call for a head of state's assassination? Would those 25,000 think it was not out of line if someone called for *'s assassination?

23. msnbc:--Well he is 75 yo and talks in a foksy manner and should not

have said it. this on msnbc by WaPost reporter--saying some Christian pastor said that.

so-this chap tried to downplay it-based it on his age and folksy talk.

[LibertyorDeath]

27. Oh well in that case

Guns at the ready.

[rniel]

21. I think it was spot on

After all why are they trying to control OUR oil. Just because it's on their land doesn't mean it's not ours.

*sarcasm*

[Judi Lynn]

22. I've read before at D.U. that CNN updates its polls only once an hour

if I'm not mistaken. It's odd, considering they're a large operation and should have better ways of keeping up.

On edit: I just checked. The total number is different:

Total: 136488 votes

Yet the percentages, 80%, 20% are exactly the same.

[berni_mccoy]

24. Not only was it out of line, but it was ILLEGAL!
