20 years ago, Pat Robertson wrote a book blaming Jews for the "New World Order..."

[Archae]

He also claimed "they" were behind the killing of Lincoln.
He admitted to not having any evidence, but he made the claim anyway.

You think he gave up his Jew-hatred? Fat chance.

Pat Robertson: 'One Little Jewish Radical' Has 'Terrorized' Our Cowardly Military

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 9/18/2014 12:55 pm

Pat Robertson is not pleased by the Air Force’s recent decision to make the words “So help me God” optional in the oath of enlistment, a result of the controversy over an airman in Nevada who was not allowed to re-enlist after he omitted the line. The “700 Club” host reacted to the news today by criticizing the Air Force as cowards for “caving” to the “little Jewish radical” Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, whom he said is “terrorizing” the military:

3. He supports Israel now so he has had to temper down the Jews=New World Order rhetoric.

I bet he has switched to Liberal Conspiracy/UN=New World Order now.

Why Evangelical Christians Support Israel

4. 14 years ago, most Right Wingers shared those views of his regarding Jews.

I remember because I was on some of political sites that were dominated by Right Wingers. I tried to reason with them, but the bigotry was palpable.

Then, suddenly there was a shift and they began supporting Israel.

I imagine if someone could back to the early days of Fox, Limbaugh et al they would find similar sentiments from the Right.

I also remember Bush Jr stating after his election that he wasn't interested in the US being involved in the I/P situation. Clinton had been very involved. That is what I was discussing with those Right Wingers. Their reaction was 'great, why should we be wasting time on these people, let them fight it out among themselves'. I pointed out how important an issue it was that peace talks continue. But to no avail.

The sudden change in their attitude was remarkable. I also remember Bush being 'yelled at' by Sharon for his remarks, and amazingly, the man who wouldn't back down about any of his policies, changed his mind.

5. Not really.

The RW are very good at compartmentalizing anti-Semitism and support for Israel, and Jews from that side are very good at ignoring the anti-Semitism.

Reprinting something I posted in January 2013:

Pat Robertson predictions from Jan. 1991: how'd his "special link to God" serve him?

I was cleaning out some old papers and found some notes I'd jotted down while watching Pat Robertson on his 700 Club show (back then I'd occasionally monitor Robertson and other politically active RW religious figures**cough**nuts**cough**)

The date on it is 2 Jan 1991, so just over 22 years ago. At the time it was halfway through Poppy Bush's presidency, 5 months after Saddam Hussein had invaded Kuwait, and a little over 2 weeks before "Operation Desert Storm" (i.e., while military assets were still being moved into place).

Pat "special link" Robertson's predictions and comments:

- Short war with Iraq
-low interest rates, prime rate to 7%, stocks plummet
-by September, vibrant stock market out on a limb
-Bush reelected
-collapse in '93
-God is holding off disaster so that evangelicals can get the job done
-people of God support CBN (Robertson's cable network-JHB), high increase in donations
-if we leave Saddam, we must garrison Saudi Arabia indefinitely. Must attack Saddam or he will ___(must have dropped the word that followed-JHB). We Are Americans and must act like Americans, not back down to some tin pot dictator

Considering the lack of opposition from the then-nearly-collapsing Soviets, the short war wasn't all that tough to predict, though I think he had in mind weeks not the "100 hour war" that resulted (as long as you don't count our presence in Iraq for the next 10 years). I haven't looked up how the interest rates, prime rate, and stock market fared. I think his "special link" glitched on the '92 election, and gee, somehow we didn't collapse in '93. As for the rest, the only rational response is to point at him and laugh one's fool head off.

7. Note Robertson's spin there: what the AF did was _restore_ the optionality of the phrase...

It had previously been optional, but someone deliberately changed the wording of the regs to make the phrase non-optional. The latest change reverts how it is handled to the earlier situation.

That person has a name and an ass, and should be handed both. The former on walking papers.
