Gee, I guess I’m supposed to be barefoot, pregnant, married and in the kitchen! Oh wait-I’m the Anti-Christ because I’m Catholic and a feminist!
What a fuck head!
I cannot STAND this guy and what he stands for. I never realized HE was the one behind the whole Christian Coalition…this guy runs for president, and has NO IDEA what our laws are all about!
And when I was little, his stupid 700 Club would interrupt and delay my cartoons, the bastard!
Really, going after this guy is like going after dairy cows with a high-powered rifle and scope. He’s too easy a target and it’s a waste of ammunition.
Oh! I cannot stand this man! He opens his mouth and my blood pressure rises! AGH!
I just love his whole stance about lesbians and NOW. :rolleyes: And the real Christians of today being the most persecuted minority in history. Forget the Jews there, didja Patty?
If I were the ruler of the universe and wanted to only slightly manipulate events so as to ensure freewill, I might allow a gentleman like Pat Robertson to form a club whose only membership was seven hundred dollars and an obligation to watch a trying television show.
A man like this, ambitious, yet uncompromising in his ignorance of the workings of society, can really only safely exist in a few special places–most people would recognize his intolerance as vile. Mmmmm. The Bay Area is full, now that I’ve set the Zodiac free again. Let’s put him in… Virginia!
Yes! What a master stroke! I have already allowed that obese football coach fellow to ooze his molasses-like morality over western Virginia; and this fellow obviously can’t afford to be true to his ideals and avoid considered scrutiny in the northern part where people are educated–just look at what happened to Lyndon LaRouche, the poor sap. Seaboard it is. Anchors aweigh, my friend! Or, well, somewhere over that way. I’m too busy trying to top my coelocanth joke to bother to closely.
Pat? Would you like to say a few words? Heh. I thought so. You know, the real God just sort of points and says, “you die now.” It’s much more efficient that way. But I might just consider actually inventing a Hell just to give you a bit of a suprise. Run along and do your mischief, now. You know how I like to keep myself on the bestseller list.
What gets me is that smarmy little grin he always wears as he “objectively” relates the news of the day (always involving schoolyard preachers being denied their First Amendment rights, or the conspiracy to kill Vince Foster). And have ya gotten a load of his kid? He’s got the same oddly ovoid head-shape and creeping pattern baldness. He just needs to work on his “smile of contemptuous disbelief”.
Read the book The Most Dangerous Man in America - it’s a charming expose on Pat and his wackiness. He gets caught up in so many lies and stories, you’d think people would catch on - but then sheep will be sheep I guess.
I recall years back when he announced that His prayers had diverted a hurricane from his hometown (I think).
Of course, I wonder what the people whose town it Did hit thought of his “powers”.
He says Halloween is of the devil…I like how the guy at that site said, “Gee, being Pat Robertson’s kid must really have SUCKED!”
I know it’s too easy, but it just annoys me to no end. We just had Melissa Hart elected as a Rep here in PA…a big time supporter of the Christian Coalition.
As someone who is both a Christian and a Conservative, I can’t stand Pat Robertson either. He gives us a bad name and distorts the Bible. Everytime he opens his mouth I cringe with embarassment.
This man is not Christian and does not represent Christian values. He may represent some conservative values but for the wrong reasons and his applicaton of those values is misguided. Please don’t refer to his group as the “base” of the Republican party because they are not.
My dad went to the same college as PRobertson at the same time. Remembered him as a crook. Fat frat boy who ran the football pool, payouts were always much less than the original take.
Heard something on NPR a couple years ago that stuck with me. An interview with a bush pilot who discussed PRobs secret diamond mines in south Africa, during apartheid. The stuff rumors are made of but I’m not surprised by anything.
His father was one of the best senators Virginia ever had, J. Willis Robertson. Brought civil rights to a Jim Crow jerkwater repository of backwoods hate. Too bad ethics and honor don’t necessarily follow bloodlines.
About “real Christians being the most persecuted minority in history” – a bit of exaggeration, but they are. By idiots like him, and the ignorance of people who judge Christianity by people like him. (We’ve been there enough times already.)
Regarding the hurricane Vanilla spoke of: He said that God had answered his prayers and it would hit Orlando, where it was “Gay Day” at Disney World, rather than his Va. Beach HQ. Uh, guess what? It kept going north, and struck the Outer Banks and Tidewater area. I’m not sure what this says about God’s intent, but…
When I was living in Norfolk, I was on the bus going out to Chesapeake. There was this woman who had been on the bus for quite a while, and the driver asked her where she was going. She responded that she was going to Pat Robertson’s studios, and that she had taken the bus all the way from Colorado. The driver told her that she was a ways away from Virginia Beach, and that she needed to get off at the mall and take a bus to Virginia Beach, and by the way, did this woman even know where she was going and did she have a place to stay?
The woman responded that no, she didn’t have a place to stay, she wasn’t from there and didn’t know anyone from there. Pat had said on his television show (which she watched every day) that anyone was welcome, and don’t worry about a thing. Just get here.
So this woman, who was probably at least mildly mentally retarded, picks up and goes cross-country to an area she does not know at the invitation of a man she’s never met. Makes sense to me :rolleyes:
And don’t get me started on the poor people he’s fleeced over the years. “She’s got no food for her kids, and she lives in a shack, but she tithes to us!”
I believe there’s a special place in hell for people like him. :mad:
His “special place in Hell” is probably going to be in Heaven–where everyone will ignore him, St. Peter won’t talk to him at the gate, and the only places of worship are Catholic or Jewish.
Hey, haven’t we already agreed that [sub]if there’s a [/sub]god has a great sense of humour?
So this Pagan dies and goes to heaven, and she’s very startled to see St. Peter and the pearly gates and the whole number. She says, “But wait a minute, I wasn’t Christian! Don’t I get to go to the Summerlands?”
“Oh!” exclaims Peter. “You must be one of our Pagan sisters. Of course, of course.” So he leads her into heaven, and by and by they come to a beautiful grassy hill with a little grove on top, with lots of Pagans running around, dancing, singing, feasting, screwing, lying in the sun, and generally having a good time. And she runs over to join them, but suddenly she sees a little cluster of people dressed in suits and moaning and crying, watching them."
“What’s up with them?” she asks. “Don’t they like being in heaven?”
“Oh, no,” says St. Peter. “They’re rabid extreme right-wing evangelists. They have to watch you Pagans have a good time, because they’re actually in Hell.”
