Oooh, Pat Robertson's on HardBall!!!!!!!!1

[Jacobin]

He just said Gawd told him that the Iraq war would be messy and probably be lost!!

How interesting.

on edit: Wasn't it naughty of Pat not to tell Bush* what Gawd told Pat?

[PretzelWarrior]

1. Did god also say what side he's on? cuz if he is on USA side...

and we lose...what does that say about God?

[Jacobin]

6. He's kinda goin around in circles at the moment

He then says "we'll prolly win it in the end" and Islam is a violent religion and "everyone supports the Prezdint, at least all PATRIOTIC Murkins".

Very enlightening NOT

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

18. That he doesn't like gays and the ACLU.

You see, every death of every soldier would then be the fault of the gay community, and by extension those who support the gay community, the ACLU, the liberal media. The logic is quite clear (sarcasm on): God punishes the soldiers for the sins of the liberals.

Duh.

[Jacobin]

21. My head is spinning

I do enjoy listening to these nutballs as they lie and talk through their sick smiles and spew their venom.

They are truly evil incarnate.

[quaker bill]

19. Not much really

Remember, "God's chosen people" were defeated, enslaved, and then spent 40 years in the desert...

These people should actually read the bible before claiming that they are "chosen by God". Often, as reported there, it can be quite a painful experience...

[merh]

27. Do you mean "be careful what you ask for"? (eom)

[alvis]

2. That's great.

God's really keeping Pat up on current events.


Edit:
Did God say "probably". I would expect a little more confidence in a prediction from God.

:eyes:

[Jacobin]

12. In these troubling times, one must hedge what Gawd tells us.

Cause, we don't know what Gawd has promised Smirky.

[frankly_fedup2]

3. Oh really!

Ever since he "concurred" with Jerry every Jew is going to hell Falwell, I have not paid much attention to either.

Really never paid much attention to either anyway. I feel a preacher who lives better than their parishioners, something is not right there.

[Leilani]

4. Is God sending conflicting messages?

He told Dubya to go....

[merh]

5. He said God told him that? Apparently that is not what God

told weed boy. Some body is confused or maybe they both are.
:shrug:

[Jacobin]

9. What I don't understand is:

If Gawd rang up Pat and told him this important bit of intelligence, why the heck didn't Pat run down to the WH and tell Smirky, like RIGHT AWAY!!.

I mean, doncha think it would have been important for Smirky to know what Gawd told Pat. And if he told them both something different, they could've like called him up and said HEY, WTF, are ya with us or agin us!!

[stepnw1f]

7. Clever Way To Smack Bush In The Face(nt)

[Booster]

16. God, please......

have Dubya lose this election so Robertson's faithful followers can see just what a phony this man is. I know, I know, they would never believe it, but remember God told Robertson that Bush would win. Maybe he and Bush are talking to different Gods. This man Robertson is certifiably insane and shouldn't be allowed on ligitemate TV shows.

[AntiCoup2K4]

26. I'm not sure which God it is Pat is talking to....

..But I'm reasonably certain that the one Junior communicates with has horns and a pointy tail, and looks kinda like ------>:evilgrin:

[stepnw1f]

38. And....B* is Too Dense to know the difference. (nt)

[Jacobin]

17. oooooh, Pat just said

"we didn't elect Smirk to be cheap theologion".....

Ouchy. They are very jealous of their mutual relationship with the BIG GUY

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

8. Funny..god told me Robertson's a fuckin' asshat

[Renew Deal]

15. Me too

It must be getting around. O8)

[Selwynn]

40. You got that too? I thought God only speaks to ME!!! DIE NOW!!!

[Amaya]

10. How fun

Didn't god also tell Pat that * would win the election by a landslide?

[Submariner]

35. But was God under oath ..........

...to himself....never mind, I'm all of a sudden confused.....head explodes.

[gratuitous]

11. Is the Almighty still handicapping the election?

Does Pat still hold that God will deliver Bush a landslide?

[quaker bill]

23. Perhaps God will create a landslide...

And perhaps the landslide will prove really disappointing to Pat.

[Jacobin]

24. Oh, yes

But now he says its not gawd, but the ECONOMY doing so well that's gonna tip it.

:wow:

[arcane1]

13. we just need to say 'god bless america' more

oh, and take care of those e-vill homersexshuals, too!

and the aclu
feminists
people for the american way

all those who tried to secularize america


funny, God saying we will lose the war of good vs evil... yet we fight this war in his name... :eyes:

[SalParadise]

14. didn't "god" also tell him that....

bush would win the 04 presidential election in a landslide?

Maybe it's satan talking to him - he lies a lot, no?

[Jacobin]

20. oooooh, she just brought that up and he's backing away like a crab

Now its the ECONOMY.

One more gawd prediction down the drain.

[tishaLA]

22. Campbell Brown is not bad on this at all

And much better to look at than Tweety. She didn't let old Pat get away with his lie about stem cell research--"you just inject a few cells into the brain and it cures Alzheimers? There's no proof of that". Yeah. Whatever Pat.

[bluedog]

30. I like Campbell

she is a WH reporter and This is her chance to get to the core of the questions shes been wanting to ask..Loved her when she grilled Dan Barlett.

[Sparkly]

32. Yeah, she had him sputtering

At first when she let him ramble on and on, I was impatient. But she came back and smacked him down.

[Sparkly]

31. That was incredible!!

I just had to come here to see if anybody else heard it!! Unbelievable! Are these people as stupid as they seem or are they feigning stupidity?

[bluedog]

33. Maybe Campbell and Gregory

could have their own hard hitting talk show......anythings better than Imus and Tweety ect.........

[69KV]

25. Pat Robertson lost the 1988 election

That would mean that "God" isn't on Robertson's side either.

[Jacobin]

29. Couldn't we convince him to run again against Smirk?

:bounce:

[69KV]

41. If only he would

as an independent. Roy Moore should jump in too. The more (right wing spoilers) the merrier.
:evilgrin:

[Wind Dancer]

28. He is disgusting!

I can't even watch this "so-called interview" anymore. He is a disgrace to people of faith everywhere, another one with the God Complex.


:grr:

[RebelOne]

34. I can't stand the man, but I did not see where he bashed Clinton.

In some ways, he was very complimentary.

[Jacobin]

37. He bashed him

Said he was like the pied piper and used his considerable charm to make people do things they shouldn't. Said he lies constantly for bad purposes.

[ithacan]

36. do they put online a transcript of this?

I'd love to read it!

[Poiuyt]

39. I can't believe this guy has any credibility at all

A man of God saying that assassination is alright? Isn't there a Commandment about that?

[Octafish]

42. Pat's a COWARD and a former liquor officer.

US Representative Pete McCloskey of California, a good Republican, related the unctuous TV preacher Marion “Pat” Robertson once was a US Marine officer when he got the call that maybe his life was too important to risk on the battlefield.

The greasy turd was leading a platoon of US Marines to the fighting in Korea in 1951 when he decided to call his daddy, then a very, very conservative and Democratic Senator from Virginia, to get him pulled off his troop transport ASAFP.

Robertson told the other officers he would be saying “Sayonara!” when the ship pulled into Yokohama, its final stop before heading toward Korea. The other officers thought he was joking, but when the ship shoved off, there was Pat (and another 2nd lieutenant) on the dock, waving bye-bye.

Most of the officers and Marines went on to get wounded and killed. PTL, at least a couple remember the Truth.

The story was repeated in 1988 when Robertson ran for president as a “Combat Veteran.” The source of the story was Pete McCloskey (R-Calif.), one of the surviving USMC officers who was on the transport.

Here's a great resource on the subject:


THE LIQUOR OFFICER

Or PAT ROBERTSON GOES TO WAR

Excerpt...

Former GOP congressman Pete McCloskey of California, who served in the same unit as Robertson, claimed that Robertson had relied on his father's influence to get him out of combat duty. Robertson was so rankled by the charge that he sued McCloskey and Representative Andy Jacobs, an Indiana Democrat who also circulated the charges, for $35 million.

McCloskey insisted that Robertson was on a ship headed for combat until his father used his influence to have him removed. According to McCloskey, Robertson later boasted that he had used his father to "get him out of combat duty."

The libel suit turned out to be an embarrassment to Robertson. During depositions, Paul Brosman, Jr., a retired university professor who served with Robertson in Korea, backed up McCloskey's claim and went even further, asserting that the televangelist had consorted with prostitutes and had sexually harassed a Korean cleaning girl who worked in the barracks. Brosman's deposition asserted that Robertson once feared he had contracted gonorrhea from a prostitute and was "very relieved" when he discovered the problem was a urinary tract infection. Brosman added that he had never personally seen Robertson with a prostitute and said some of his remarks were based on "scuttlebutt" he heard from others.

The trial also established that Robertson's father did indeed send a number of letters about his son, on Senate stationery, to Marine officials. In one the elder Robertson expressed concern that his son had not been adequately trained to be a combat officer.
