Pat Robertson Steps Over The Line

RedState.org
By: Doverspa · Section: News


Pat Robertson called the liberal judiciary a more serious
threat to America than Al Qaeda and the Sept. 11 terrorists.

"Over 100 years, I think the gradual erosion of the consensus that's held our country together is probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings," Robertson said on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

"I think we have controlled Al Qaeda," the 700 Club host said, but warned of "erosion at home" and said judges were creating a "tyranny of oligarchy."

Confronted by Stephanopoulos on his claims that an out-of-control liberal judiciary is the worst threat America has faced in 400 years - worse than Nazi Germany, Japan and the Civil War - Robertson didn't back down.

"Yes, I really believe that," he said. "I think they are destroying the fabric that holds our nation together."

If Republicans start to lose moderate voters it will be because of outrageous comments like these from Mr. Robertson. I often hope to see Democrats denouncing their fringe figures like Michael Moore when they go off the deep end and with those demands comes a responsibility to shoot down one's own extremists. Fortunately, we still keep our extremists outside the party structure while Democrats have started putting theirs in charge.
