So sayeth Pat Robertson

As conservative journalist John Podhoretz asked, " WHEN WILL PAT ROBERTSON FINALLY JUST SHUT HIS STUPID MOUTH?"

Has anything this nutjob said made any sense?

Heee heeee, couldn't have anything to do with his age and weight. Gotta be that old retributive god of yours.

Jack Cafferty (hope I have that spelled right - the guy who does the email review for Wolf Blitzer on CNN) has something similar to say, MIB. He suggested Robertson should enter a monestary, preferably one with a vow of silence. Wolf was skeptical of that possibility.

Of course, Sharon's stroke could not possibly be due to being an overweight, out-of-shape, 77-year-old man - it must be the wrath of God.

Pat represents such strong Christian values.

Can't wait for his opinion on the Italian lawsuit about "Did Christ really exist". If there is an eartquake or volcano eruption in Italy that will undoubtably be God's retribution as well.

Someone really should revoke Pat's TV license, if for nothing else than his claim to have put Dubya in the White House. Maybe he could become Secretary of State lol.

Careful gentlemen, you're talking about a highly regarded spiritual advisor to our President. Pat Robertson is one of the select holy men that Bush turns to when he wants to know the Christian perspective on things such as gay marriage, Supreme Court nominations and matters of national security. After all, if it weren't for this man's revelations from God we wouldn't have known about the inherent evils of Barny, Tinky Winky, SpongeBob Square pants, and all of the other tools of seduction used in the homaSEKshul agenduh. Don't forget 9/11 and Katrina. How would we have known who to blame for those without good ole Pat?

We should really be a bit more grateful.

I'd like to hear his thoughts on the fires in Texas and Oklahoma. Oh and the mining accident in WV.

It is now official. Pat Robertson is a 100% genuine total idiot.

Remember Go Bar, those things are God's punishment only if the happen in states that vote Democratic

Exactly, I was about to ask if this is Texas' punishment for outlawing gay marriage. Heh, I think that would make Pat's head explode.

I thought Jerry Falwell was behind the "Tinky Winky" homosexual agenda plot, but hey, it's easy to confuse the two.

Robertson is too busy trying to get his diamonds out of war-torn Africa or making threats against democratically elected Latin American leaders when he's not advising God's own George W. Bush.

(BTW, did he have an excuse for when King Hussein of Jordan died? What about the assassination of Rafik Hariri in Lebanon? Any commentary on the thousands of Iraqis who've died so far, including about 120 yesterday?)

If there is a God, and if S/He is just, then there will be a particularly horrifying chamber in hell for Robertson. (Anybody want to imagine, given Robertson's nuttiness, what that hell would look like?)

Coming from a very conservative Southern Baptist family I can tell you EXACTLY what their thoughts are. I can hear my mother saying it as if she were here in the room with me.

IT'S A TEST OF THEIR FAITH!

When a tornado goes down main street and destroys the Baptist Church and a gay bar the Pat Robertsons of the world will say the gay bar was destroyed for its wickedness and the church as a test of faith.

Unfortunately I've heard it a hundred times. And they never let ANY facts get in the way of their proclamations. Like for example how the French Quarter in New Orleans, home of Southern Decadence and a large gay population, was the least damaged area of the city by the very storm that was sent by God as judgment on gays and Southern Decadence. The gay bars in the Qwahtah were some of the first businesses to reopen in the city.

Don't cloud the issue with the facts Madam!

They share the same brain so I generally treat them as the same person. Falwell actually made his outrageous 9/11 comment on the 700 Club in a discussion with Robertson. James Dobson actually made the SpongeBob claim. But he shares the common brain as well.

Maybe that explains their nuttery. With all of these holy wingnuts sharing the same brain none of them gets a big enough piece of it at any given time to have an IQ over 2.

I honestly don't know why the man ( idiot) doesn't run for President. I just wonder how many votes he would get here. :confused: eek! Probably, alot.

He DID run for president! Don't you remember it? He ran in 1988. Among the highlights: he wanted to ban pornography, get rid of Amtrak, and eliminate the departments of Education and Energy. He even finished ahead of VP HW Bush in Iowa, if you can believe that. Those wacky Republican voters! There was a bit of a scandal when he claimed combat service as a Marine, and it was revealed that his daddy, a right-wing US Senator from Virginia, had written letters to ensure Marion Gordon Robertson (his real name) didn't get hurt. He ended up being a liquor provisioner.

As for his wackiness, I primarily blame Yale. Had he not failed the bar after graduating from their law school, he might have undergone his conversion and would probably be a very wealthy practicing lawyer or something from Virginia.

Surrounded by Barney,Tinky Winky, Sponge Bob, Paul Lynde, and the rest of the gang with YMCA playing on a continuous soundtrack.

I'm all for eliminating Am-not-ontrack and overly bloated, overly intrusive and ultimately unnecessary federal departments; but Robertson still is two tacos short of a combination plate.

Some of the highlights of this psychopath:

About other Protestants: "You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist."

About the Christian War in America: "If Christian people work together, they can succeed during this decade in winning back control of the institutions that have been taken from them over the past 70 years. Expect confrontations that will be not only unpleasant but at times physically bloody.... This decade will not be for the faint of heart, but the resolute. Institutions will be plunged into wrenching change. We will be living through one of the most tumultuous periods of human history. When it is over, I am convinced God's people will emerge victorious." (Uttered in 1992.)

On theocracy: "There is no such thing as separation of church and state in the Constitution. It is a lie of the Left and we are not going to take it anymore."

On Christianism and the Constitution: "The Constitution of the United States, for instance, is a marvelous document for self-government by the Christian people. But the minute you turn the document into the hands of non-Christian people and atheistic people they can use it to destroy the very foundation of our society. And that's what's been happening."

On Godly fumigation of non-Christians: "It is interesting, that termites don't build things, and the great builders of our nation almost to a man have been Christians, because Christians have the desire to build something. He is motivated by love of man and God, so he builds. The people who have come into [our] institutions [today] are primarily termites. They are into destroying institutions that have been built by Christians, whether it is universities, governments, our own traditions, that we have.... The termites are in charge now, and that is not the way it ought to be, and the time has arrived for a godly fumigation."

On Planned Parenthood: "[Planned Parenthood] is teaching kids to fornicate, teaching people to have adultery, every kind of bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism -- everything that the Bible condemns."

About married women: "I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."

About Orlando Gay Pride: "If the widespread practice of homosexuality will bring about the destruction of your nation, if it will bring about terrorist bombs, if it'll bring about earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor, it isn't necessarily something we ought to open our arms to. "

About gay people (sounding like popesy benedict): "I have known few homosexuals who did not practice their tendencies. Such people are sinning against God and will lead to the ultimate destruction of the family and our nation. I am unalterably opposed to such things, and will do everything I can to restrict the freedom of these people to spread their contagious infection to the youth of our nation."

About white South Africans: "I think 'one man, one vote,' just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights."

About the Democratic Congress in 1993: "Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history."

About 9/11, uttered by Jerry Falwell, to his agreement, though he later lied and said he hadn't understood ("Thou shall not bear false witness."): The September 11, 2001 attacks were caused by "pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, lesbians, the ACLU and the People for the American Way."

About the State Department: ""What we need is for somebody to place a small nuke at Foggy Bottom."

About judges: ""If you look over the course of a hundred years, I think the gradual erosion of the consensus that’s held our country together is probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings."

About Iraq, etc.: "I think we're going to control al Qaeda. I think we're going to get Osama bin Laden. We won in Afghanistan. We won in Iraq, and we can contain that. But if there's an erosion at home, you know, Thomas Jefferson warned about a tyranny of an oligarchy and if we surrender our democracy to the tyranny of an oligarchy, we've made a terrible mistake."

About one-child forced abortions in China: "The Chinese are doing what they have to do."

To the voters of Dover, PA, after they voted out the nutty creationists: "I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city."

Ditto: "God is tolerant and loving, but we can't keep sticking our finger in his eye forever. If they have future problems in Dover, I recommend they call on Charles Darwin. Maybe he can help them."

On criticizing the WPE: "We've won the war already, and for the Democrats to say we can't win it -- what kind of a statement is that? And furthermore, one of the fundamental principles we have in America is that the president is the commander in chief of the armed forces and attempts to undermine the commander in chief during time of war amounts to treason. I know we have an opportunity to express our points of view, but there is a time when we're engaged in a combat situation that carping criticism against the commander in chief just doesn't cut it."

Oh--and now, Pat Robertson's wife, back in the 1950s. Why didn't anyone listen to HER?:

Dede: "Pat, I've tried to adjust to this 'saved' jag you're on, but you've become a fanatic. All you do is read that Bible all day and sit around and talk to Jesus. I'm a nurse. I recognize schizoid tendencies when I see them, and I think you're sick. It's just not normal for a man to walk out on his wife and leave her with a small child when she's expecting a baby any minute -- while he goes off into the woods to talk to God. God doesn't tell people to do things like that. At least, my God doesn't."

As I said, he finished second in a Republican primary in 1988. Think this country doesn't have problems?

He says all or most of these things on his 700 club show. He has millions of viewers and followers who agree with everything that you just posted. These are the people who are on the verge of running this country. It's very scary.

That's been official for a looooooooooooooong time...

Castro Street?

Is anyone else reading the subject of this thread and seeing "Sharon Stone" instead? eek!

I seriously wonder what God this man is speaking of...perhaps he has God confused with Satan. I have never heard such lies come out of the mouth of a "man of God". This man is a disgrace to Christianity. If he would only open the book he thumps so hard, he may find the truth. For the last time, Jesus died for our sins. Our sins have already been forgiven. There is no conspiricy against Jews, gays or whomever else. God loves us all. There is no weather or disaster conspiricy against said people. Humans grow old, become sick and eventually die. This is a simple fact of life. To assess blame or assign failure is NOT what God is doing. It just doesn't work that way.

Breaking news: According to CBS News, Sharon has just entered the operation room. I think he is about to undergo more emergency surgery. It does not look good.

You're absolutely right millerbeach about him being a disgrace. But don't you think Osama Bin Laden and the rest of al Qaeda would agree with Robertson on this? There are a lot of "religious leaders" who use "god" to say ugly things. It's too bad that so many people still follow someone who is so obviously hypocritical.

I wonder what Shirley Phelps thinks.

What are going to do, arrest me if I do? LOL

Fan. I did forget. Thanks for the ( horrible) reminder. wink

Even the Bible discusses the false prophets.

Aside from everything else, the moron doesn't know that termites build nests. In fact that is why they chew wood; they use the chewings for their nests. But I guess the wacko wouldn't study any godless biology.

They build intricate termite condos in Africa that can reach 20 feet high. Pretty industrious for an insect no bigger than a speck

Pat's god needs to give him some land -- preferably at the bottom of a Sago mine.

You'd think God would've acted a bit faster, so as to actually prevent the Gaza handover. And while on the subject, I don't recall anyone at Atheists of America suddenly getting stricken right after signing up. God sure is capricious sometimes.

LXN

Pat Robertson is clearly insane. I want peace in the middle east between all people. The Divine that I believe in wants peace and understanding between all peoples. No divinity struck Ariel Sharon with the strokes. Pat Robertson does not speak for GOD.

I don't mean this to be ugly--but one of these days, when something happens to Pat Robertson, God's punishment will truly be served.

Pat Robertson calls the Jews 'GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE'. Then he states that Jews who don't accept JEEEEZZZZUZZZ are going to hell. If that's God's chosen people then no thanks. He has called the Holocaust God's judgement on Jews. He is no friend of Jews or Judaims. His agenda is fascist to the core.

Suppose Sharon recovers and returns to office. What will Pat say? This has become a marketable profession, waiting for the next controversial statement from Robertson, then broadcasting it as quickly as possible to anyone who can make a buck on it. It's almost become like selling landmines to both combatants in some poor country where neither side can afford to feed the people who supply their human fodder. I wonder if he ever asks "What would Jesus do?" or whether like the current President he tells him.

From Jay Leno Monday night:

A sling club in the meat packing district, with hundreds of men lined up, and Pat Robertson getting turned on at the thought of all of them.
(then realizing that they ALL are wearing spiked armbands).

Wow, that's Hell? I thought that was a back room at CellBlock on North Halsted!

What's a sling?

One example of a sling

Pat Robertson apologizes.

My, how those greedy hypocrites will change their tune when $$$$$ comes into play.

Nice "apology," Pat. I hope Israel still cancels your $50 million plan.
