  • You can never hear enough of that sickening Pat Robertson...

    I'm not certain if it's Pat Robertson coming up with the line, or him merely quoting/paraphrasing a line from his guest's book (Joel Mowbray - Dangerous Diplomacy: How the State Department Threatens American Security ). In any case, why isn't he dead yet?

    I gleefully remind people that when he said in '98 that the city of Orlando would be stricken by huricanes for it's pro-gay stance (Gay Days festival and such), the first huricane of that season made a direct hit, causing a lot of damage, on Virginia Beach where Robertson is located. Likewise this season, praying Isabela would simply go away, it too struck Virginia Beach.

    Patty-boy, that's God calling...you jackass.

    US State Department protests televangelist's nuclear threat
    Thu Oct 9, 3:21 PM ET Add Politics - AFP to My Yahoo!

    WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US State Department has lodged a vehement complaint with prominent conservative televangelist Pat Robertson for comments suggesting that its Foggy Bottom headquarters should be destroyed with nuclear weapons, officials said.

    Spokesman Richard Boucher called the remarks -- which Robertson made last week on his nationally televised "700 Club" program -- "despicable" and a senior department official said a protest had been made "at the highest level."

    "I lack sufficient capabilities to express my disdain," Boucher told reporters when asked about Robertson's comments. "I think the very idea, though, is despicable."

    The senior official said Robertson had been made aware of Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites)'s extreme outrage at the tone and content of the remarks.

    "That's not the way one expresses an opinion in Washington," the official said, adding that Robertson's conduct had been "outrageous."

    Robertson, who has been a frequent critic of the State Department, made the offending comments during an interview with a like-minded critic of US diplomacy, columnist Joel Mowbray, who has written a book entitled "Dangerous Diplomacy: How the State Department Threatens American Security."

    "I read your book," Robertson said, according to a transcript of the interview posted on his Christian Broadcasting Network's website (www.cbn.com).

    "When you get through, you say, 'If I could just get a nuclear device inside Foggy Bottom, I think that's the answer'," he said.

    "I mean, you get through this, and you say, 'We've got to blow that thing up.' I mean, is it as bad as you say?" Robertson asked.

    Mowbray responded: "It is."

    Mowbray's book accuses the State Department of endangering the security of the United States by allegedly cavorting with sponsors of terrorism, negligence or incompetence in the visa issuance process and ignoring the travails of US citizens abroad.

                    I fail to see why bilious sectaries of this type have any credibility. As bad as Fred Niles in Australia and Ian Paisley in Great Britain. Oh, and just to be ecumenical, dear old JPII, as well.

                      But consider what his (and Falwell's) comments tell us about their "god". Their god uses nature to kill the innocent because of the "guilty". And they said 9/11 was a result of God lifting his veil of protection from the USA because of the ACLU and homosexuals. So, does that mean their god wanted 9/11 to happen? Sounds like it, so why would these clowns condemn OBL who, according to their "logic", was merely acting to fulfill god's plan?

                        There's an anti-Pat page somewhere on the internet...it quotes him endorsing apartheid, among other things.

                          I doubt that, but he did defend Charles Taylor claiming they just have different values over there. I didn't know Christianity was so "diverse".

                            You do realize that Pat Robertson is a wealthy businessman without a formal connection with any denomination, and that Jerry Falwell is an independent baptist member not affiliated with any of the wider baptist organizations? These guys speak for themselves, they have a loyal following who cheerfully support them, but the numbers of their followers is actually small compare to the 200+ million Christians in this country.

                            When I was a kid I used to pick up Jerry Falwell's broadcasts on a crystal set I made at home. I used to hear him praise George Wallace and Strom Thurman. He railed against school desgregation. I once heard him describe integration as "un-natural". In fact I even recorded some of his speeches. It's a pity that the reels of tape got lost with all my parent's moves. When I think about what's on them, well, they sure could come useful at times.

                              So he said the US deserved 9-11 and called for nuclear terrorism against the State Department. Isn't Gitmo supposed to be for guys like that?
