Media Matters have made it their job to call people out when the flub up, say stupid things and screw up in general in the media. Pat Robertson is a good case in point. Here's there take on the Pat Robertson thing:

On the morning of August 24, Pat Robertson falsely claimed that he never called for the assassination of Venzuelan President Hugo Chavez. On the afternoon of August 24, Robertson issued a press release in which he claimed that his assassination comments were "adlibbed" out of frustration, suggesting they were not representative of his true thinking. So, which is it? Did Robertson "adlib" the assassination line, or did he never say it? What will his next explanation be? And is Robertson now admitting he lied earlier in the day in his statement on The 700 Club?

Response

This goes to show that many of these evangelical ministers are frauds and hucksters. Jerry Falwell lost his case today so you should check out Fallwell.com and see why. A young man tried to express his point of view and Falwell went after him for trademark infringement. Fortunately the 4th Circuit of Appeal felt otherwise.

In the end, as my pal Cynicus pointed out, the reason religion and government must stay separate is because you forever corrupt both and that's where we're going in this country.
