Pat Robertson Defends Torture
[su_right_ad]Don’t worry about release of the Senate torture report, says Pat Robertson, since we needed to torture people to get the bad guys. Never mind that it isn’t torture that got the bad guys.
“You may be shocked at some of that, but the truth is we didn’t have another incident after 9/11 and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, he was caught, he was the mastermind, and they were rather rough with him but they learned invaluable information,” he said. “So I know it seems brutal but that’s the way it was.”
According to Sen. John McCain, “the use of ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ on Khalid Sheik Mohammed produced false and misleading information” while “the best intelligence gained from a CIA detainee” was “obtained through standard, noncoercive means.”
Immediately after his remarks on torture, Robertson accused the Obama administration of releasing “30,000 immigrant criminals” into the U.S., citing a wildly inflated figure that mostly includes people who committed traffic violations.

So says the old, dementia ridden “christian” who would likely side with the Romans, if he could get a ratings point out of it.
StoneyCurtisll December 8th, 2014 at 1:26 pm
Key words…
“dementia ridden christian”
But you forgot to add ‘charlatan’..:)

No, I just spelled it differently!

Because GOP Jesus endorses torture.
Suzanne McFly December 8th, 2014 at 1:11 pm
GOP Jesus is also a blonde, white dude from the Middle East.

I kept telling everybody the Italian Jesus in the paintings were a fake.
Suzanne McFly December 8th, 2014 at 6:38 pm
I have also and it never goes over very well, good thing I’m a tough broad.

Pretty blue eyes and curly brown hair and a clear complexion
Is how you see Him as He dies for Your sins
But the Word says He was battered and scarred
Or did you miss that part
Sometimes I doubt we’d recognize Him

Remember, god was created in man’s image.

Who carries a big, honkin gun.
Suzanne McFly December 8th, 2014 at 6:40 pm
So does Santa, I would of never believed it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
Suzanne McFly December 8th, 2014 at 1:10 pm
That’s it, Obama has to come out for torture, against healthcare, job creation, and reproductive rights then these people will come to the other side and support the policies we actually need.
StoneyCurtisll December 8th, 2014 at 1:20 pm
This old fool needs to be put out to pasture..(or to sleep)..
The report says that there was no actual impotent information gained from the use of ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’.
StoneyCurtisll December 8th, 2014 at 1:23 pm
First words in this video..(paragraphing)..
We didn’t have any more attacks after 911 because we tortured KSM..
crc3 December 8th, 2014 at 1:25 pm
…and Robertson calls himself a Christian? I really don’t think Christ would approve at all…
StoneyCurtisll December 8th, 2014 at 1:26 pm
‘WWJT’?
Who Would Jesus Torture?
crc3 December 8th, 2014 at 1:35 pm
Nobody…
Bunya December 8th, 2014 at 1:43 pm
I think the GOP has their own Christ whose name is “Republican Jesus”. They created him in an effort to justify horrible things Jesus Christ would never do.

Pat is an old faith healing atheist. He knows that it is all b/s.
Dwendt44 December 8th, 2014 at 1:27 pm
Ole’ Pat never did have a good grasp on the truth.
granpa.usthai December 8th, 2014 at 1:46 pm
hell, the white racist of the last FAILED attempt by the ‘master race’ to rule the world never saw a damn thing wrong about their crimes against humanity either. One sure way of ID-ing them -‘specially when they want to wave the US Flag and insert the names of the deities of their violent religion. Take the bunch of WHITE RACIST TERRORIST in Nevada, for example.
Hirightnow December 8th, 2014 at 2:51 pm
I’m still not sure if there’s a God.
Can we torture Pat to find out?
Larry Schmitt December 8th, 2014 at 3:36 pm
Let’s torture him anyway. Make him eat halal or kosher food. That bigot would consider that torture.
Robert Merrill Taylor December 8th, 2014 at 4:40 pm
He thinks macaroni and dheese is a “black thing”.
Carla Akins December 8th, 2014 at 5:09 pm
OMG – I had forgotten about that. I guess in the overwhelming quantity of stupid things he says – that would be understandable.
Larry Schmitt December 8th, 2014 at 3:13 pm
Of course he defends torture, he’s been torturing the American people for decades.
rg9rts December 8th, 2014 at 3:39 pm
Every day!

Same reasoning used in the inquisition

It would be easier to dismiss these as the incoherent ramblings of a senile old fart, if only he didn’t continue to spew hateful, divisive garbage from his bigoted partisan maw… a classic example of everything that is wrong with organized religion!

alpacadaddy: “… a classic example of everything that is wrong with organized religion!”
And a classic example of everything wrong with coverage of religion in this forum. It bears no relation to what people of faith are doing, but the intent seems to be to get across a false message to slime believers of various faiths.
It’s a sick thing to do, but there you have it.
Bunya December 10th, 2014 at 8:33 pm
Organized religions sell only one product – fear. You can’t see their product, they spend nothing on parts and labor, yet they make a tax-exempt fortune by selling their invisible product to the weak, vulnerable and feeble-minded.
William December 8th, 2014 at 4:35 pm
Pat Robertson is now only useful as a reference point.
Khary A December 8th, 2014 at 4:54 pm
That’s perfect.
jetwhhs December 9th, 2014 at 11:28 am
He claims to be a Christian.
Wow. How Christ like of him.
mmaynard119 December 10th, 2014 at 9:38 am
I’ve checked this out. Being forced to watch the 700 Club against your will is now considered torture by the United Nations.
