Caracas: Pat Robertson needs head examined

Tuesday, October 11, 2005 - ©2005 IranMania.com

LONDON, October 11 (IranMania) - Venezuela said US preacher Pat Robertson should have his head examined for accusing President Hugo Chavez of plotting terror attacks against the United States and of financing Osama bin Laden and trying to obtain nuclear material from Iran, according to AFP.

Venezuelan Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel said Roberston should be examined "by a team of psychiatrists, psycologists and shamans, because he is so irrational."

But the conservative televangelist issued a new denunciation of Chavez Sunday: "This man is setting up a Marxist-type dictatorship in Venezuela, he's trying to spread Marxism throughout South America, he's negotiating with the Iranians to get nuclear material and he also sent 1.2 million dollars in cash to Osama bin Laden right after 9/11," Robertson told CNN.

On Sunday, Rangel called the silence from the White House "strange" following Robertson's accusations and said that behind them lies "an underhanded attack" by the US government on Chavez.

"In the case of the 'reverend-isimo,'" Rangel said, referring to Robertson, "the problem is not him, the problem is what is behind him because he is the spiritual advisor to the guest of the White House," he said.

The Robertson/Chavez war is a great way to cheer yourself up. I just love it.

There's nothing in that head to examine.

It would be like "examining" an empty Chock-Full-O-Nuts coffee can.

11. Robertson is an inside look at the mind of the White House thugs
They feel exactly the same way. Robertson is just saying what they're thinking.... AND IT IS NOT FUNNY!!!!

The CIA has murdered many Latin American leaders... and have never been held accountable!

12. Marxism is giving the Poor schools, healthcare.. first time ever there.???
actually Marx had some really good ideas... ti was the that Corporate shill Lenin that was the problem..

marx was inspired by an anthropological study of the Iroquois Nation written about 1778, i believe by Joshua jones/Johnson??? about how the culture was set up in a truly natural commune-istic manner, where the old and injured were cared for and and things distributed equitably..

i met a german Marxist hitchhiking and invited him to my home for a couple of days. he was very interesting

20. maybe you missed my point..??
Edited on Tue Oct-11-05 12:12 PM by sam sarrha
lenin and Marx started a popular movenment..Lenin back stabbed Marx and started a dictatorship.. it was never communism... but real communisum got demonized by Fascist corporate interests. The cold war was never about communism.. The cold war was a farce it never existed.. it was Created by Corporate interests to acquire power and overthrow democracy and establish a Fascist State.. like what we got now...

13. What shocked and bothered me was on BBC last night. . .
During the full broadcast the coverage was fine, BUT at the "final summary of the news," they simply said something like". . . accusations by AMERICAN pat robertson." Of all the words they used to describe him in the full piece, like eccentric, evangelist, neo-con, spiritual advisor to pres; all of which could have replaced the word american to more accurately summarize the story. . . .It is almost like they wanted to give him a little credence on their way off the air, like its a REAL story. I mean they summarized as though what he is saying is the REAL story, not that this idiot is speaking again is the REAL story. How scary is that?

23. BBC said American? How imprecise. Guatemalans are American.
Venzuelans are American. Canadians are American. Jamaicans are not American. We are U. S. Americans.

Robertson originates, spreads, and perpetuates untold hate fear and fear among his followers simply by opening up his mouth.

We may never know another like him. He will, for me, epitomize everyone and everything that is horrible about Christianity.

24. Something like. . . american
since I didn't realize I would be commenting on it I don't have the exact term or even an exact quote; it may not have been american, but it was something that sounded credible as opposed to the wording they used in the full story.

18. The "faithful" own a lot of land in South America...HERE....
The Unification Church "Moon" is trying to buy Paraguay...

I think this probably has something to do with Robertson's hatred of Chavez. Just a guess...
