  4. Petition To Deport Pat Roberston: U.S. Jihadist by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Dear Patriots:

    Defend democracy by adding your name to this petition
    to deport Pat Robertson to the United Kingdom for
    making terroristic threats against the democratically elected Hugo Chavez.

    The Global Stuggle Against Violent Extremism urges you to sign this petition to deport Pat Robertson to the United Kingdom where, according to U.K. laws, he will again be deported for engaging in behaviors "not conducive to the public good." :

    The list, which the Home Office says is "indicative rather than exhaustive", will cover any foreign-born national "writing, producing, publishing or distributing material, public speaking including preaching, running a website; or using a position of responsibility such as teacher, community or youth leader to express views which foment, justify or glorify terrorist violence in furtherance of particular beliefs; seek to provoke others to terrorist acts; foment other serious criminal activity or seek to provoke others to serious criminal acts; or foster hatred which might lead to inter-community violence."

    Thank you and have a Bush_Cheney_Rice_Rove_Rumsfeld_free-day,
    Kilgore Trout, C.E.O.
