I believe Pat Robertson IS as dangerous or moreso than OBL, not as a "violent" source, such as OBL, but as more of a different destruction.
Both are supposed religious zealots,
both are supposedly looking to start a religious crusade, but in reality their war creates for them more power, money and control over their followers
both want the world to run as they individually want it to run,
both are more destructive to their respective religion, than they are to help it,
Both use severe scare tactics to control, while promising "their true believers" higher rewards in the afterlife
Robertson uses his position to further his political agendas
Robertson uses his followers to put forth HIS beliefs over the true teachings of Christ
Robertson uses his position to keep acquiring more wealth, threaten those he doesn't like with boycotts and uses his wealth to further HIS political agenda (which is not of the true teachings of Christ)
Robertson has before this incident been known to pray for the destruction and death of MEN (Clinton is a great example).... (how Christlike is that, where does Christ say to pray for the downfall of someone you dislike simply because you politically disagree with them)
Robertson uses his resources to spread hatred, bigotry, prejudice and overall negativity (again where does Christ say "use television to destroy a man").
I could continue......
Anyway, good sarcasm however in your post.
Why ANY true follower of Christ would support this man and his biased, prejudiced, hate filled views is beyond me.
And how any politician can truly support this man and his beliefs does so only because of the power robertson weilds, and if Robertson were to ever lose his power, the politicians that smile and stand next to him would be gone in a heartbeat.
God right now must be shaking his head, asking how his prophets of love and understanding can be used to promote such evil and hatred.
