I heard an interesting discussion of Pat Roberton recently on N.P.R. "Democracy Now". It seems that Pat Robertson has been using his television network and shows to endorse and promote one Robert Mugabe.... The President of Zimbabwe.While Robertson is integrally connected to the radical "Christian-Coalition"and it's Neo-Con fascists, the Bush administration has pubically denounced Mugabe....placing him on a "black-list", citing "opression, human-rights abuses, violence, corruption, and mis-management". Robertson has, on his television shows praised Mugabe...who in 1996 married his "private-secretary", who is 41 YEARS YOUNGER, AND WHO BORE HIS TWO "OUT-OF-WEDLOCK" CHILDREN! Mugabe has, for long, been the target of scandal for the corruption and greed surrounding Zimbabwe's natural-resource sales..(specifically gold & diamond mines) It is blatantly obvious that he and his corrupt government have "pocketed" the vast majority of the proceeds of these mines, while his citizens live in poverty. One might wonder WHY Pat Robertson would endorse such a "despot"?? The truth is, that Pat Robertson is PARTNERS in some of these same mines, WITH Robert Mugabe!!!Add to this, the fact that Robertson's"Religious" organizations (tax-exempt), are the NUMBER ONE RECIPIENT OF FEDERAL MONEY FOR "FAITH-BASED-INITIATIVES"!!! Millions of dollars are given, tax-exempt-status is granted, while Pat Robertson promotes his business -partner on "public-airways", and advocates the assasination of a South-American president!! Increasing evidence has surfaced, that Pat Robertson is a DANGEROUS FANATIC, (BESIDES BEING CORRUPT AND HYPOCRITICAL)....
