| Pat Robertson on College Professors: "you know some of them are killers!"
Posted: 3/21/2006 4:47:20 PM | Does Pat represent the Republicans?
Pat Robertson calls liberal professors “racists, murderers, sexual deviants and supporters of Al-Qaeda”
3/21/06
On the 700 Club on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 former Republican Presidential candidate Rev. Pat Robertson
displayed characteristic anger and frustration at what right-wingers proclaim is another manifestation of
liberalism in this country while reviewing (and hawking for sale on the CBN website) the new book by
extremist David Horowitz titled, “The Professors: The 101 most dangerous academics in America.”
Robertson waxed glowingly about the book which he says sheds light on the radical academics at
American universities claiming, however, that it is just a “short list” of the “thirty to forty thousand” left
wing professors who he calls “termites that have worked into the woodwork of our academic society and
it’s APPALLING.”
Rev. Robertson launched an attack on “radical” liberal professors saying; “They are racists, murderers,
sexual deviants and supporters of Al-Qaeda – and they could be teaching your kids!” Later in the program
he told his viewers, “These guys are out and out communists, they are radicals, they are, you know,
some of them killers, and they are propagandists of the first order…you don’t want your child to be
brainwashed by these radicals, you just don’t want it to happen. Not only brainwashed but beat up, they
beat these people up, cower them into submission. AGGGHHH!!!!’
[NOTE: The CBN website claims that “The 700 Club, has been viewed in more than 70 foreign languages,
can be seen in more than 200 countries, and are accessible throughout the year by more than 1.5 billion
people around the world.” The Virginia Pilot reports that “Pat Robertson’s television ministry continues to
ride a wave of ever-mounting contributions, which have almost doubled in less than a decade” and that
donors gave $160 million dollars to Robertson’s CBN network in 2005 - an increase of 21% over the
previous year.] | |

Posted: 3/21/2006 5:24:46 PM | | I do not care one bit what Pat Robertson says. The man is evil. I remember when he hawked that book suggesting that Vince Foster was murdered by the Clinton White House. He knew the data was fabricated and he pushed it anyway. I believe that we have a false prophet in our midst. | |

Thats the scary part, there are actually people who agree, with his twisted ideas.
It is funny how some consider a liberal professor a threat, when he teaches his students to think, to use their minds.
Unlike some political leaders,who want their followers to be mindless. | |

Posted: 3/21/2006 5:44:01 PM | | He feels strongly about how SOME liberal professors talk and act towards christian minded students. I was one of them too. When I attended a community college back in the 1970's, and I was harrassed for stating that I believed in God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and man did not evolve from an animal, a monkey. I was tricked by the professor into stating who and what I belived in. As I stated on these threads previously. He probably had the same type of negative experience at college or high school like I had. | |

Ladies, this guy has a profile of incredible substance. Here's the bulk of it for you:
"I love the great outdoors but not sleeping outside in subzero celsius. I'll need a fullsize photo from you before I will talk to you. I love symmetrical looks."
Preoccupation with symmetry doesn't make rhetoric persuasive friend, it makes rhetoric entirely dismissable more often than not IMHO. Why not ask some of your buddies in the corporate world to take a massive paycut and teach? I think even a teacher could afford a chalet like yours there man. | |

Posted: 3/21/2006 8:22:43 PM | "Liberal professors are criminals because they promote an evil agenda. Hitler didnt break any laws either. We live in a morally bankrupt society because of liberals. And, btw, I am an athiest."
Ah, the eternal comparison to Hitler. No, he didn't technically break any laws. He wormed his way into power through legal loopholes, then changed the laws so that what he did was no longer illegal. And need I remind you that Hitler was of the religious far right wing? Basically, not very far off from the likes of Pat Robertson, Jerry Fallwell, and George W. Bush.
So, you think that liberal professors promote an evil agenda, eh? Because being (and subsequently teaching people to be) open-minded, critical, and free-thinking is evil? Is it evil because it contradicts the truly evil right-wing aspirations of opression and inequality? Or does it have some other sort of "evilness" attached to you? Yes, there are some who, while not being evil (even though I call Bush and your radical Republicans "evil," I do not sincerely believe that there is such a thing as evilness. Everyone is capable of, and does, some good things, some bad things. The radical Republicans are characterized by doing an abundance of bad things, as far as I'm concerned), are stupid, for lack of a better word, and contradictory, and may insult you (as the one poster said) for your views. They do not represent the majority of academics, and are really going against the open-mindedness that is embraced by all us leftist intellectual/academic types. The majority are not like that, and I have never encountered anything like that (and I am always watching for potential biases that my professors may have).
Oh, and yes, some academics (perhaps even many) are Marxists, and do follow many of Marx's ideas. That does not make them Communists! Marx is more than just Communism; Marx was a political and economic theoretician, and Marxian views can be held by very right-wing people. One of the characteristic Marxian views is that the material aspects of life, and the processes necessary for their procurement and production, drive social life. You do not have to believe in Communism to follow this approach; in fact, I tend to equate many similar Marxian ideas with right-wing capitalist ideas. I reiterate that Marx was a political and economic (and social too, really) theoretician, and that his writings deal with a lot more than communism alone.
Anyway, I think that that is about all that I have to say. Oh, and since the above poster mentioned it, I will say that I too am atheist. And I am not a liberal per-se. Liberals are all right, but I have many problems with Liberals too (in my case, the Liberal party). I am a Social Democrat. If I were an American, I would vote for Nader, basically. And while I am still an undergraduate student at this point, I look forward to becoming a leftist professor, teaching about openness and fairness, and showing where inequality first arose, and always noting that the egalitarian societies that pre-date states and chiefdoms were much better places to be. And, in fact, human nature (if there is such a thing) is to be egalitarian. Hierarchy and inequality is a result of surpluses (usually a result of agriculture) and exploitation of the masses by a few people. Sound familiar?
Note: I did not touch the statement "Liberal professors are criminals because they promote an evil agenda. Hitler didnt break any laws either. We live in a morally bankrupt society because of liberals. And, btw, I am an athiest" and really only paid lip service to the statement "Liberal professors are criminals because they promote an evil agenda" because there really is little point in arguing against such stupid, bashful, and unproven (and unprovable) statements as these. | |

Message: this is a well known republican trick. let someone like pat robertson do the talking for them because they don't want to come out and say it themselves. Though I dont think there is any organized effort, as I presume you mean, I actually think there is some truth to this. The Democrats have their "fringe" mouthpieces also. | |

Posted: 3/21/2006 8:54:04 PM | well face it folks, we live in a society where more people believe in angels than evolution. The radical mullahs are also called holy men. I consider the likes of Robertson and Falwell to be as dangerous as the radical muslims. The mullahs and the Christian Conservatives are taking beautiful religions and turning them into right wing agendas.
I am kind of surprised that Community Colleges are becoming spring points for liberal ideas. Where do these people get their ideas. | |

Posted: 3/21/2006 9:09:40 PM | Don't forget get some of his buddies. Rev. Jerry Falwell & Rev. Franklin Graham
NORFOLK, VA. - Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson drew criticism Friday from Arab-Americans for
describing Islam as a violent religion that wants to "dominate and then, if need be, destroy." Robertson
made the comment Thursday on his "700 Club" television program after watching a segment about
Muslims' views on terrorism. Co-host Lee Webb asked Robertson why he thought Muslim immigrants
would want to live in the United States "if they have such contempt for our foreign policy."
Robertson replied: "Well, as missionaries possibly to spread the doctrine of Islam." He went on to say
that Islam "is not a peaceful religion that wants to coexist. They want to coexist until they can control,
dominate and then, if need be, destroy."
"The rhetoric is exactly the same as traditional anti-Semitism. All you can do is change the word 'Jew' to
'Arab' or 'Muslim,' " said Hussein Ibish, spokesman for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination
Committee, a Washington-based civil rights group. He said remarks like Robertson's and the Rev.
Franklin Graham's comment to NBC last fall that Islam "is a very evil and wicked religion" are a "slightly
warmed-over version of the hatred that led to the Holocaust."
Robertson, whose Christian Broadcasting Network is based in Virginia Beach, had no immediate comment Friday.
After Sept. 11, Robertson was criticized for agreeing with the Rev. Jerry Falwell during a "700 Club"
broadcast when Falwell said the attacks happened because Americans had insulted God by allowing
abortion, feminism and pornography.
Falwell later apologized and Robertson issued a statement calling Falwell's remarks "severe and harsh in
tone" and saying he had not fully understood them. | |

Posted: 3/21/2006 9:16:17 PM | | Jesse Jackson can sometimes be shameless and Al Sharpton more often is but I have never ever heard them call the other side Godless. I have also never heard them while trying to make a point say that it is the will of God to promote their point of view. I am about ready for the Republicans and the right wing to come up with a better arguement than " oh yeah, your people do it to" | |

http://www.outfoxed.org/clips_jon_dupre_wm.php Outfoxed.org has zero credibility for anything. They condemn a network for its bias while at the same time are bias. True liberals dont see it as bias because they see very little outside their own viewpoint. | |

Posted: 3/22/2006 8:34:29 AM | Dear President Bush,
Congratulations on your election victory and for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As you said "in the eyes of God marriage is based between a man a woman." I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus
18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination... End of debate.
However, I do need some advice from you regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how best to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness - Lev.15:19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev.11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.
I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
7. Lev.21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16.
Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. | |

Posted: 3/22/2006 12:52:04 PM | I entirely agree with Pat. I'd have to say four years of liberal professors in my college was the biggest waste of time of my life. Could we have some hope, some professor who teaches real values instead of the humanism, relativism, cynicism, of the humanist secular thinking?
I said never again would I attend liberal professors, and the next time I got my next degree from a conservative school that did not push the liberal agenda. What a relief to be able to be balanced instead of just liberal hogswill! | |

Um...I don't want to say that your education didn't really get you anywhere, as I really don't know, but I don't see much proof of education in this statement. You say that for your next degree you went to a conservative school, and that that was balanced? I won't enter into the argument here about whether the left or the right wing is more biased (both do have their biases, of course, and it should be clear from my previous post which set of biases I tend to prefer, and which I think tend to be less biased, overall), but to take things from an actually objective stance, I must point out a glaring contradiction in your statement.
In the first sentence, you said that you went to a conservative school. In the second sentence, you said that the school was balanced. Now, you see, to me, it seems that if you are somewhere that defines itself as being conservative, then that would imply that it is not balanced. If it were truly balanced, then it wouldn't be a conservative or a liberal school; it would just be a school. In order to be considered a conservative school, it must therefore not be balanced. For instance my school, the University of Toronto, perhaps has some left and rightish disciplines (I am fortunate enough to be in anthropology, which tends to be rather intellectual and left), but overall, the university is not considered one or the other, as far as I know. That is a where you get a balanced education. Politics don't really fit into most of my courses, but given what I have studied, I would certainly say that I have had professors who were right wing, and if I studied the more natural sciences or mathematics or economics, or anything like that, then they certainly would be right-wing. I have taken a few such courses, but they generally don't interest me.
I won't really go into this whole (very incorrect) notion that the left-wing is incapable of being unbiased and objective. And another thing. If a professor is teaching the facts, then they are teaching the facts, and like it or not, if the facts are what you would consider left-wing, then it's too bad that you would dislike them. Sure, there is a lot of room for opinion, and theory, and unproven things in a university education, but there is also the central focus of teaching factual information about the world, as we currently understand it. If relativism, evolution, humanism, etc. are facts, then get over it. And as far as I'm concerned, cultural relativity and evolution are facts. If you don't like being taught the truth as part of your university education, then don't go to university. | |

Very true two bits, Al Sharpton has the ear of not of God but of something perhaps far more dangerous, Madison Avenue.
