Televangelist Pat Robertson is recovering after suffering an embolic stroke.

In an online news release, The Christian Broadcasting Network, which Robertson founded, says he was rushed to the nearest stroke center Friday after a family member recognized the onset of symptoms.

The release says that within minutes of receiving clot-busting drugs, Robertson was awake, responsive and able to move all his limbs.

The Virginia-based network says 87-year-old Robertson is alert and expected to make a full recovery.

Well, only the good die young, they say. The bad just keep nastying on......

[Laffy Kat]

1. Keeping my mouth shut. nt

[keithbvadu2]

2. PR has nothing to worry about

His son will raise him from the dead.

[LiberalFighter]

3. For how long?

I wonder who paid for his health care?

[Dustlawyer]

74. I remember being in a doctors waiting room and the TV was on the 700 Club.

Pat’s assistant was reading letters from viewers when she read one from an elderly man who had sworn to God 20 years before that he would let God take care of his health and no longer see doctors. The man’s adult children were concerned because he was now having some serious health issues and wanted him to see a doctor. He asks Pat should he listen to his children and go see a doctor and break his vow to God, or continue to leave it up to God?

Pat responded that God would take care of him and there was no need to see a doctor.

I went to the front desk and explained what we in the waiting room had just seen and they changed the channel.

I wish Pat would have taken his own advice!!!

[doc03]

4. Well what would he say if it was a Democrat? It's god's punishment for something

I suppose. Well he supports a lying, money laundering traitor. Maybe god doesn't approve?

[longship]

5. Alert? Right!

And probably still railing about demons and succubus and things like that.

What's the difference between stroked out Robertson and the one from the past several decades? Nothing as far as anybody can see.

[MFM008]

6. Must have come on the

Heels of # Dow666.

[rusty quoin]

7. Well thank GOD the money hoarding billionaire preacher is okay.

It gives him some more time before he has to face HELL.

It is not my wish. He’s the guy who chose MAMMON. These are the rules he has accepted.

[Permanut]

8. They took him to a stroke center?

With doctors, and sciency types and nurses and medicine?

That is not what Pat Robertson's Bible instructs in a case like this.

James 5:14-15
"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."

This is all so confusing.

[jmowreader]

14. The amount of oil needed to anoint Pat Robertson would cause worldwide energy shortages

I think he's going to have to settle for real medicine and not faith healing.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

18. Permanut, as a Believer, the Bible is NOT that Bitch's book

There's NOTHING confusing about this. The fact is this, HE'S A FUCKING HYPOCRITE & DESERVES EVERY-FUCKING-THING he gets. Fucker is such a HYPOCRITICAL, RACIST BIGOT that honestly, he realistically couldn't even take the Scout Oath with a straight face...SMDH. Whether you are a believer OR an Athiest/Agnostic, GOD/THE UNIVERSE/KARMA is a heartless #itch & it's "people", (BARELY). that have the reason why there are GROWING numbers of people who have been repulsed by religion & ESPECIALLY churches, (which includes me!).
I have a private belief I respect ALL people, as long as what they believe DOES NOT hurt others. F&ck him & the gold plated, overweight, burger eating, trainwreck of a TRAITOR & the CRAVEn GOP he rode in on. May they ALL have embolic AND haemorraghic strokes, with negative outcomes.

[Permanut]

21. Point taken..

Guilty as charged for being snarky. Disclaimer: I'm a member of a Lutheran church, but I'm a pretty poor ambassador for the church. Joined so I could participate in their programs of feeding the sheltered and homeless, which are pretty awesome, by the way.

You've captured my feelings about Robertson exactly; a creepy huckster hypocrite.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

59. YOU my dear Permanut, are following the path that Christ told us to follow

As a Black woman, I cannot stand by and watch this crap happen... Listen, as far as what kind of Ambassador you are for the Lutheran OR ANY other church, YOU ARE THE PERFECT kind of Representative because U R there to HELP your fellow brothers & sisters& the church, HELL, Society needs more Ambassadors like you, flawed I'm nondenominational BUT my Baby is Lutheran, (mom was Bohemian German) & Roman Catholic, ("dad" is Czech). WE pray together & try to follow the teachings of Jesus. Doing the best I can but not always perfect.
I'm SO disgusted by these rightwing, "SUNDAY MORNING CHRISTIANS", who have the F$%#^ng nerve to try to beat everyone and their brothers over the head w/their PERFECTLY new Bible, (because they NEVER crack it unless they're in Church &?or Sunday School-you Never know when someone's watching...PHARISEE MUCH?)& cut the OBVIOUS liar breaks, left, right & center even when there's UNIMPEACHABLE evidence from everywhere except Peoria that he's a pervert, a liar, a serial sexual deviant, unfaithful to ALL his wives, a FAILURE at business & EVERY-DAMN-THING else, has EPICLY HORRIFIC CREDIT, (which is the WHOLE reason we're at this juncture in history because NO bank outside of Russia will give him anything but a cup of used spit because he PRIDES himself in NOT paying loans back-hence, POOTIE-POO) & the laughing at EVERYTHING America & FREE DEMOCRATIC SOCIETIES hold dear...

I know it's not right to wish ADDED harm onto a old man BUT from my vantage point, the more he suffers, THE BETTER. This is the SAME CREEP who BLASTED Michelle Obama for wearing a sleeveless dress BUT turned around, pointed to the Bob Guccione "flotus" PHOTO, claiming that her NAKED ASS was the beauty of God's creation...WHAT THE WHAT??!!

I have been telling my husband that the verses in the Good Book that talk about Judgement Day in Matthew 7:22-23 which says in summary, {'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'}, now make perfect sense. I now understand why & what will happen. "RACIST, TREASONOUS, HATEFUL, IG'NANT AS HELL without THE COMMON SENSE GOD GAVE A GOAT, GREEDY AF "idjits" WILL be amongst those, walking on their lower lips trying to justify things to the Creator who will tell them, in no uncertain terms TO BOUNCE.

So, I believe that if there were more Folks like you, who doubtlessly would refuse to stand by & just stand silently while they show their WORLD CHAMPION hypocrisy, the world would be such a better place. Right glad tameetcha, BTW...

[pangaia]

78. But being a good person and helping others

certainly does not require one to be "a believer," does it?

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

80. Absolutely not.

But being a believer requires it.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

100. Oh GOD NO!! In fact. some of the most EVIL & PERVERSE humans on the

planet have been so called "BELIEVERS". We believe that people who treat others as would like to be treated are MUCH better in Gods eyes than the Pharisee types who go around pounding on their chests , bopping every person they see who are NOT like them, ( as a rule) BUT is only a disciple on the way TO church but NOT on the way HOME from worship. SUNDAY MORNING Xtians are DISGUSTING AF.
I was ALWAYS taught that to have a good heart, to treat another the way you want to be treated & MOST importantly, to lay one's ife down for another is what we should ALL aim for. My mother, grandmother & aunts pounded into my head that alot of these Bible thumpers are going to be SHOCKED & AMAZED when the people that actually are granted admission into Heaven will be.
From the time I was a small child, my mother taught me that God will appear in the racist stereotype these types most hate. I'm going to make sure to stock up on popcorn, gummies, jujubes & clear sodas. It's goingto be hoots!

So NO, lovely human, NO I don't believe that in order to be admitted one has to go to church, believe what they teach, etc, especially when God has been used to justify abuse...NOPE. If that's true, then indigenous people from all over the world, including BUT definitely NOT limited to native Americans AND the slaves who were abducted & brought to these shores would be in hell and & DEFFINETLY don't believe that.

And in the end, IT'S NOT MY JOB nor ANYONE ELSE'S JOB to JUDGE another Human beings, outside of FRANK CRIMINAL ACTS...period.

[Permanut]

93. Just getting back on this..

Thank you for the kind words, The_REAL_Ecumenist. And your post is delightful. Just adding another two cents to what I said about being an ambassador. I have a very poor grasp of the theology of Lutheranism, or most other denominations, for that matter. Keep on posting; your spunk is a wonderful spark here.

[SunSeeker]

28. I like your spunk.

[AZ8theist]

58. Hear Hear!!!

Great post. I agree with you 1000%

That piece of shit can't die soon enough.

[DRoseDARs]

33. Should have taken him to a potter's field and left him to die.

Few deserve a miserable, lonely death. Rev. Pat Robertson would be one of those few.

No, I will not apologize. Fuck him and the evil he has spewed his entire life.

[WestIndianArchie]

44. Amen

[lastlib]

47. "Reverend", an honorarium to be construed VERY loosely in his case.....

I likewise have no wish for recovery for him. He is truly an evil POS.

[pdxflyboy]

9. OOHH Well....

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

10. I hate to be the FIRST to say, (OF MANY, I suspect) that as a believer, you CANNOT

do & SAY the Sh!t the things that this "person" has, LYING, Promulgating & MAKING MONEY from being a GREEDY HYPOCRITE & expect things to work out for you. Whether you are a believer & look at this as a slap from God or not & believe in KARMA,(I list myself in both columns, GOD & KARMA), serves PAT "Your Azz is going to split hell WIDE open" ROBINSON right that this has happened to him AND he deserves this & OH so much, much more...
THOTs & STARES go out to him....

[MLAA]

11. There is good news and bad news in this statement: he had a stroke but is recovering

I will you decide which is which 😬

I ask that we all take 10 seconds of hysterical laughter & Schadenfreude & please send out your most earnest THOTS & STARES to him for poetic justice & gratitude to the Creator for slapping his hypocritical azz down...

15. If he wants to get better he'd better send himself a donation. n/t

22. Nicely done, Judi Lynn.

[weissmam]

16. DOG

[tclambert]

17. Obviously the fault of the gays.

God is punishing America because of our immoral ways once again.


"Robertson was awake, responsive, able to move all his limbs, and blame the sin of homosexuality for his malaise."

[FuzzyRabbit]

19. My mother taught me that

if you can't say anything good about someone don't say anything at all.

So here is what I have to say about Pat Robertson:

[get the red out]

56. I second that

My Mom always says the same thing.

[TNNurse]

73. You beat me to it, though we said "nice" not good.

Anyone not saying anything ugly about Robertson exhibits more Christian values than he does.

[JohnQFunk]

20. So Pat Robertson wakes up one morning to find himself dead and at the

… Pearly Gates.

Naturally, Saint Peter is standing outside, clipboard in hand.

Robertson walks toward Saint Peter, saying "Saint Peter! Saint Peter! It's me, Pat Robertson!"

Saint Peter looks down at his clipboard, then looks back at Pat. "I see you succeeded in making a killing in the investment market while simultaneously scaring old people with your crackpot television show, making the poor poorer, and making your rich friends richer. Have a nice day!"

St. Peter pulls a lever next to the podium, and Pat finds himself falling for what seems like an hour, only to land on his butt in a pool of flame with a large, red creature towering over him.

"Marion Gordon 'Pat' Robertson, I have been waiting a long time to meet you in person!" exclaims Satan, grinning from pointy ear to pointy ear. Before Pat can utter a word, The Prince of Darkness has shackled him to an emaciated, hideous crone that Pat recognizes as Phyllis Schlafly, and exclaims, "You are condemned to wander the burning, sulfurous, Stygian depths of Hades for eternity with this horrific woman chained to you! Now go!!"

And so Pat and Phyllis wander the burning, sulfurous flamescape for several days, agonized by the flames, horrified by their fate…

…until, one day, Pat and Phyllis run into their old buddy Jerry Falwell — who is chained to the still amazingly gorgeous Anna Nicole Smith!

Pat and Jerry exchange pleasantries, chat about the good old days, lament their eternal condemnation, and then go their separate ways.

But Pat, who had done everything in his power to conceal his rage over Jerry's eternal companion, is livid.

As soon as he is out of Jerry and Anna Nicole's eyeshot, he begins to walk at a frantic pace toward where he met Mephistopheles, dragging a miserable Phyllis Schlafly behind him.

The moment he sees The Devil, Pat begins ranting angrily. "What in the wide, wide world of Hell is going on here? Yes, I'll admit I was a completely underhanded scoundrel, but Falwell gets to spend eternity with a major babe even though he was a far more evil opportunist, an unreconstructed bigot, a thief, and a criminal scumbag…"

"SILENCE!!" shouts Satan. "The manner in which I have decided to eternally punish Anna Nicole is none of your concern!"

[KY_EnviroGuy]

48. K&R. LOL, a good one and I predict...

Pat and Jerry will start a new megachurch in hell......with toll-free contribution lines of course.

[PJMcK]

53. Very creative!

Well done!

[MontanaMama]

23. The Universe

will shake this out on the back end. 🌀

[Lint Head]

24. So Gawd made him have a stroke.

[LompocDem]

25. One of these days I'll quote Moms when he finaly goes...

Moms Mabley Quotes

They say you shouldn't say nothin' about the dead unless it's good. He's dead. Good!

[radical noodle]

26. I have nothing good to say about him

or his recovery.

[SunSeeker]

27. How can they tell?

[3catwoman3]

29. Sorry to hear that...

...he is recovering. This charlatan is way overdue to meet his maker.

[spike91nz]

30. Wouldnt be great

Wouldn’t be great if the stroke cured him of his religious delusions?

[onetexan]

34. LOL doubt it

but i don't doubt the stroke was a result of selling his soul to trump. Next one won't be so mild and there will be no recovery.

[Ccarmona]

31. Live, Die, I could give two craps.

Evil deserves to suffer.

[longship]

32. Pat's trip to Hell...

He's hit with another stroke, a massive one. He doesn't survive. Instead of heaven, he is cast into Hell.

In the entry line ahead of him is another guy. Satan approaches and says to the guy, "Welcome to Hell. What will it be? Death? Or Chi-Chi?" Not much of a choice, the guy chooses Chi-Chi, whereupon demons grab him stuff him into a flaming barrel which is then rolled off a rocky slope into a deep lake of boiling shit, the guy screaming in agony all the way.

Now it's Pat's turn. Satan says, "Welcome to Hell. What will it be? Death? Or Chi-Chi?"

Seeing how bad Chi-Chi is, Pat chooses death.

Satan smiles and responds immediately. "Death it is. But first... Chi-Chi!!!"

[PJMcK]

54. The Aristocrats!

Great joke, longship!

[Hulk]

35. No comment.

Much far better people than him have suffered terrible health issues....so I have little sympathy left for this disgusting man.

[RandySF]

36. Darn

[Dopers_Greed]

37. He's recovering?

Guess God doesn't exist after all

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

38. I was taught to never speak ill of the dead

Fortunately, that racist, misogynistic, homophobic, small-minded asshole hasn't died yet, so...

[dchill]

42. Good one!

[Jarqui]

49. Maybe it's God's way of saying he's an asshole ...

[Raine]

39. No comment nt

[jmbar2]

40. OK, now I really don't believe in god

That bastard should have been smited real good by now.

[Hekate]

41. Biting my tongue here

[mobeau69]

43. In case he doesn't make it, as Christopher Hitchens pointed out about Jerry Falwell,

"If they give him an enema that can bury him in a match box."

I miss Hitch.

[forgotmylogin]

45. Thoughts and prayers!!! (n/t)

[mahatmakanejeeves]

46. I hope that, in line with current CDC guidelines, he rejected any science-based treatment.

Thoughts and prayers, of course, even though this ******* has done everything within his power to see to it that I get nowhere in life.

Stocks drop six hundred, three score, and six points, and then this? Hmmmmmmm.

Televangelist Pat Robertson is recovering after suffering an embolic stroke.

50. A brilliant medical team saved his life.

And a imaginary Deity will get the credit.

[samnsara]

51. He is in my 'thoughts and prayers'

[JackInGreen]

52. And the Lord said...

Wtf are you doing Jesus, put it back or let your halfbrother have it but don't let that filthy thing track mud into this house.

[PJMcK]

55. Let's see if this is my first "post removed"

Fuck Robertson. The sooner he's dead, the better our world will be.

[paleotn]

62. Can't argue with that.

My sentiment, exactly.

[dalton99a]

75. Amen to that

[Vinca]

57. It must be God's punishment for something.

Those who carp loudest are usually the guiltiest.

[paleotn]

60. Recovering?

that's a pity.

[FarPoint]

61. My empathy does Not rise to the occasion.

Let him live just shut him up....I don't care how Karma does it .

[brooklynite]

63. I'm sure God will intervene; he prays for miraculous healing all the time.

[enid602]

64. signs

How could his family 'recognize the signs' of a stroke? He's always like that.

[malthaussen]

65. Too bad. n/t

[keithbvadu2]

66. Bring in the big guns

[Cold War Spook]

67. I believe in God,

but I do not have a religion. I cannot belief in hell. I believe we are all God's children and he would not punish one of us for all eternity any more than we would. I have a VA chaplain, I don't even know what is his religion. So why do I have a chaplain if I don't believe in religion? I had a question about if you stop taking your meds, is it still suicide. Some day I hope to go to Heaven, but only if I can takes my dogs. Why did I write all that? Since there is no hell where do bad people go. I don't know but I belief it is a place of learning.

[bitterross]

68. I wish I could think of something nice to say.

But my mother always said that if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all.

[milestogo]

69. Pat Robertson is has done a lifetime of damage to the gullible.

[packman]

70. Even God didn't want him

I love modern science, modern health-care and upmost respect for doctors - but, seeing how they all conspired to save that worthless POS, I may have to temper my admiration .

[nwduke]

71. Classified

as a stroke of luck 😏

[Fritz67]

72. I wish death on no one.

That being said, when the day comes he does pass from this world, I will not be mourning him.

[Nitram]

76. God clearly wants him to shut up and suffer.

[Motley13]

77. That's too bad, I mean the recovering part

[stonecutter357]

79. prayers do work .

[magicarpet]

81. May the Lord come-eth....

And the Lord take-eth
And then hand-eth off this religious Nazi
To the effing devil.

Robertson is a Christian Fascist masquerading as a man of God who supposedly respects the teachings of Jesus. Robertson is a demon who hides behind the buy-bull while wrapping himself in the shroud of the clergyman - but is nothing more than an evil religious charlatan.

[Faux pas]

82. I hate to say it, but I will...

who the HELL cares except for his sheeple?

[erronis]

83. Can't he just do a "Laying on of hands" on himself?

I used to get a kick out of watching some of those holy-roller shows with the cripples/invalids being wheeled up to the shaman and miraculously cured by a hand pressed to the head and an exhortation to something or the other.

Of course with a stroke he may need some help getting one of his hands up there.

However, speaking in tongues may come more naturally.

No, seriously - I wish him god-speed - out of here.

[rtracey]

84. he is

He is a disgrace, and a shyster. I hope he recovers just enough to feel the wrath of GOD and he can no longer communicate his filthy words of hate. Better yet......naaa I wont go there
