Your favorite loon (and mine) struck again today, calling Islam a religion bent on world domination and saying that muslims are motivated by Satan.
I don't know whether Pat Robertson believes in what he's saying. I don't know if he truly believed God struck down Ariel Sharon for surrendering 'the promised land'. I don't know if he really wants Hugo Chavez dead - assassinated mind you. And I'm not sure if he really thinks that the Prince of Lies is the motivating factor behind the Nation of Islam.
I'm not sure of any of these things, but I'm pretty certain that it's not the point. Patty isn't saying this out of genuine feeling, but out of a desire to ignite 'the base' and catch headlines. Unfortunately, what he's done is... ignite the base and catch headlines.
The fact is that the people most likely to be offended or turned off by statements like this aren't really the Christian Right's target audience anyway. It's a simple calculus.
My only real question: how many true believers really listen to Pat Roberts' ideas rather than watch out of some Jerry Springer-esque voyeurism? (Oh mah Gawd what's he gonna say next? And whut's he doin' with that CHAIR?)
In any case, it's all bull!

He has admitted that most of what he says is unscripted. Maybe it's a case of Old Testament Tourette's.
