A Regular Look at the Worst from the Right
Pat Robertson threatens retaliation against conservative senators who oppose Miers

Pat RobertsonOn today’s “700 Club” broadcast, the Rev. Pat Robertson responded to criticism from the Right regarding the Miers nomination and also offered a stern warning to those conservative senators who might be thinking of voting against her.

Rev. Robertson suggested that people should look at who is supporting Miers before they doubt her conservative credentials. He named James Dobson, the Rev. Jerry Falwell, Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, Jay Sekulow of the Robertson-founded American Center for Law and Justice, and himself as proof of support for Miers’ nomination from the Right. Robertson concluded by noting: “These so-called movement conservatives don’t have much of a following, the ones that I’m aware of.

And you just marvel, these are the senators, some of them who voted to confirm the general counsel of the ACLU to the Supreme Court, and she was voted in almost unanimously. And you say, ‘now they’re going to turn against a Christian who is a conservative picked by a conservative President and they’re going to vote against her for confirmation?’ Not on your sweet life, if they want to stay in office.”

9. Terroristic threats, no less

Can we arrest him for it?

[Just Me]

7. I get the feeling they've been reassured Miers will do their bidding,...

,...no matter what. The fat, white, male fundies are control-freaks,...in case you haven't noticed. I'd say Pat was given assurances that the theocracy he seeks will be fulfilled.

Even true "conservatives" worry about that kind of contol-mongering.

15. And Falwell... OMFG! Those boys just LOVE the violence!

<<Rev. Jerry Falwell doesn’t think it's “un-spiritual” to “whip” "un-patriotic" Americans. “In the name of the Lord, of course.”
During his September 25th sermon to his Thomas Road Baptist Church congregation, the Rev. Jerry Falwell examined the freedoms enjoyed by Americans and turned to the issue of what should happen to so-called “un-patriotic” Americans: “You know when I see somebody burning the flag, I’m a Baptist preacher I’m not a Mennonite, I feel it’s my obligation to whip him. In the name of the Lord of course. I feel it’s my obligation to whip him, and if I can’t do it then I look up some of my athletes to help me.

But, as long as at 72 I can handle most of the jobs I do it myself, and I don’t think it’s un-spiritual. When I, when I, when I hear somebody talking about our military and ridiculing and saying terrible things about our President, I’m thinking you know just a little bit of that and I believe the Lord would forgive me if I popped him.”>>>

Really? Really? God would condone beating someone who was not "Patriotic"???? Ummm... you nincompoop, "patriotic" is not in the Bible ya jackass. It's not even one of the virtues. it's made up.

Why do these angry old white men want to beat everyone up?? Or have them killed? WWJRO? (who would jesus rub out?)

16. I wonder what kind of promises or threats were made to get that.

If Roe v. Wade is not overturned after Bush's nominations get into the SCOTUS, Robertson and the other RW Xtian leaders who backed Miers/Roberts stand to lose a great deal of power and influence.

Whether Roe v. Wade survives or not, I think it's likely there will be a political upheaval as a result of these nominations.
