Pat Robertson Assaults Judges (Again)
Pat Robertson Assaults Judges (Again)
Religious right spokesman Pat Robertson alleged on ABC’s This Week that the federal judiciary constituted “the biggest threat to America in its history.” He said the “tyranny” of the federal judiciary was a bigger threat than World War II and communism and posed a “more serious [threat] than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings,” referring to the 9/11 attacks in which nearly 3,000 Americans were killed.
As for the threat posed by right-wing fanatics who threaten and slander judges that disagree with them, well, Robertson wasn’t asked about that. Below is an American Progress chart of five typical weeks in a calculated conservative campaign to discredit American judges and undermine the rule of law, all in order to clear the way for President Bush’s radical right-wing judicial nominees.

It will be nice when the radical right wing judiciary of this country starts bringing back biblical law…then I can own those slaves I have always wanted and I can smite my neighbor for working on the sabbath….and a host of other “sins” that are all condoned by the Bible. Keep up the good work Pat…we can be killing in the name of God in no time…I’d better make time to practice with my new assualt gun that I picked up this weekend at a gun show….

May 2nd, 2005 at 3:19 pmWow, is that Acrobat file ever annoying.
May 2nd, 2005 at 7:09 pmYou should really make a thumbnail of that image. Just because you’ve changed the width and the height doesn’t mean that the file being downloaded each time the page is called is any smaller. It’s 4.5mb every time which’ll kill your bandwidth and suck up memory for your readers computers.
May 2nd, 2005 at 8:19 pmIt’s funny how when a liberal makes a comment about 9/11, the neocons jump on them. When Pat compares the federal courts to terrorist nothing. Last time I checked the only people federal judges killed are people condemed to death.

it must be getting hard to see, that far up his own ass.
