My LTTE made letter of the day in the Tampa Tribune.
I didn't think it was published yet, since it's not on their website. But a friend of mine called and said it was the featured letter. I picked up a copy, and there it is.

Best of all, the didn't edit the shit out of it like they did the last few. Here it is.

God’s Consigliere.

So now God’s Consigliere, radical cleric Pat Robertson, wants to put out a contract on the democratically elected President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. How much more outrageous does this hypocritical charlatan, and fraud, along with his Underboss, Jerry Falwell, have to get before the IRS revokes their tax exempt status.

President Chavez has earned the wrath of the Bush Administration and the Oil Industry for daring to increase the royalties on Venezuelan oil to pay for education and medical care for his citizens. He has been elected twice, survived a coup attempt, and won a recall election.

Mr. Robertson on the other hand has made a handsome living, hustling old ladies out of their Social Security checks, and cozying up to bloodthirsty dictators, such as Liberia’s Charles Taylor, with whom he partnered in a diamond mining venture. Taylor also allegedly supported Al Queda with his diamond business. Robertson and Falwell also get to sign off on President Bush’s Judicial and Supreme Court nominees.

The bible says “Love thine enemies as thyself”. Robertson says “Whack them”. These guys are setting the cause of Christianity back 1,500 years.

10. Congrats!
And I love the visual of Robertson, with eyes squeezed contritely shut, praying out loud on the 700 club "Whack them, Dear Lord, whack them."

Updating "smite"?

20. I use that one all the time!
I've had a few items published that mention radical clerics Dobson, Falwell & Robertson.

It puts them on the same level as al-Sadr.
