CBN Exposes Liberal/Muslim Plot to Destroy Humanity
Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network is predictably jumping on the wingnut bandwagon, arguing that there is a vast conspiracy between liberals and Muslims to “destroy freedom, capitalism, democracy, American and Israel” because we just hate humanity so much. The equation of secularism and Islamism is beyond ridiculous.

Wait. There’s a leftist in the White House? I don’t see him. Is he hiding behind all the centrists?

@2 You just don’t speak wingnut. By “leftist” they mean “anyone to the left of Mussolini.”

The fundies need someone new to hate.
That gay target is sort of winding down.
It’s going to be the Moslems, who are an even smaller minority. And the atheists of course.

If I wanted to conspire with a group of misogynists who strive to oppress gays, freeze elderly people to death in the winter, create a hellish theocracy based on a book of unspeakable cruelty that would kill everyone who is not like them and take the world back in time to the 1100s, I’d become a Republican.

That makes no sense. Everybody knows Mussolini was a leftist.

The number of Moslems in the USA isn’t known too well. the US census has no religion questions.
It’s usually estimated at around 3 million.
Hard to imagine a somewhat hated minority of 3 million Moslems is going to do much to a nation of 315 million, most of whom are…xians. I suppose the fundies can add innumeracy to their list of virtures, the inability to count.

raven, you’re forgetting that Muslims, like union members, are homeopathic.

Raven@4:
They haven’t given up on the gays. They’ve just incorporated them into the vast secular Muslim conspiracy.
Shariah law = Mandatory gay marriage.
Fifthdentist@5:
Ironically, most people in the 1100s were better off under Muslim rule.

Modus@8,
If Muslims are homeopathic, does that mean when there none of them left in the US, they will rule everything?

d.c. wilson, I was referring to the Christianist 1100s. But point taken.

It’s true cause everyone knows how much moslems embrace atheism.

They never drop a hate target. But they do shuffle the priorities sometimes.
When they get really desperate, they can always hate each other.

Of course. A disgruntled ex-socialist, who consciously designed his political philosophy to be the opposite of socialism, what else could he be but a leftist?
Jonah Goldberg reminds me of Humpty-Dumpty in Through the Looking Glass-words mean exactly what he says, neither more nor less, regardless of how anyone else understands them.

When they say “destroy humanity,” I think what they mean is “our weakened Xian hegemony won’t have the dominating power of ye olden days, and that sucks and blows because our donations will go down.”

Besides all the complete lunacy, does this idiot really believe we’ve never had a political prisoner in the US?

It’s all part of the game by Robertson and the other fundy leaders to sow fear and the consequent hate in the gullible and low information sheep that make up their flock. Then rake in the money when they ask for donations to “stop this heathen assault on good Christians.”

@20 – to people who want Christianity to be the one and only state-sponsored religion in the US, liberals and muslims are natural allies – both oppose them.

@21- To people who want a fundamentalist Christian theocracy in the US, liberals, Muslims, Buddhists, Catholics and liberal protestant denominations are all conspiring together.

You really have to wonder if any of these folks ever read the bloody, gory European history of Christian, on Christian violence, in the name of Christianity.

As a leftist, not only do I want to destroy “destroy freedom, capitalism, democracy, American and Israel”, but also apple pies, grandmothers, baseball and baby jesus.

Robertson has proven, time after time after time, that he is a false prophet. And Holy, Correct, Complete and Eternally True Word of God is quite clear about what should be done with false prophets.

Do you think the Christian viewers recognised the hyperbole and laughed at Jamie Glazov’s ridiculous claims, or did they experience a masochistic thrill as they contemplated their eventual demise at the hands of their enemies?

I have a coworker who is a shi’ite from southern Lebanon. She and I coincidently had family get-to-gethers at the same restaurant at adjoining tables right after Christmas.
My wife’s oldest brother was with us at the restaurant and he seems to have Fox Geezer Syndrome. He felt it necessary to mention the Black Panthers and thought that we needed to wait for another President for an economic recovery. My back was turned to him when I was chatting with my coworker for which I am glad. My wife had stern words for her brother when she thought he was criticizing my friend and her family. So the evidence is out there that liberals and muslims are in cahoots.

The fear of Muslims outbreeding christians comes from Europe, where
1. The Muslim minority is slightly bigger
2. Muslims are seen by the upper-class as the most dangerous fraction of the plebs, like the blacks and latino are in the US.
So in the end, this fear is merely the product of the European Upper-Class fearing that the plebs will outbreed and eventually overthrow them. The funny thing is to see american wingnuts who claim to hate everything coming from Europe ended importing in the US a very european cultural product.

I’ve seen people pretending to be progressive using that line of thought,
Basically, they claimed that since Sharia law was patriarchist, it was advocated by men who despised women, therefore, these men could only love and respect other men, therefore Sharia was a gay conspiracy and Muhammad was probably a Gay Supremacists trying to subvert the virility of medieval christianity.
I’m not kdding: there are people who invented something even more stupid than tbirther conspiracies.
