Pat Robertson, Prophet or Crazy Fool; You Decide

From Americablog, my remarks in Italics.

[Pat Robertson isn't just an old religious right leader. He's a hateful nut. A sampling of what kind of hate and quackery Mitt Romney is now embracing in his desperate quest for the presidency:
Haitian ambassador responds to Pat Robertson's remarks today about Haiti paying a price for making a pact with the devil.  {As if endemic poverty in Haiti not high enough price for vulture capitalism?}

Then there was the time that Pat said that God gave Ariel Sharon his stroke as punishment.  {What punishment for Pat, swarm of locusts or gaggle of gays?}

Or the time God told Pat that he might just send a tsunami to America.  (& said hurricane would hit Orlando, punishing whole city--guilty & innocent--for "sin" of flying little, small, rainbow flags on a few light poles.  Sheesh, a hurricane will hit FL, some prediction.  I prophesy the same.}

Or the time Robertson said it's better to just divorce a spouse with Alzheimer's.

Or the time Robertson said that Episcopalians, Methodists and Presbyterians are tied to the anti-Christ.  {Howzabout Lutherans, Pat?}

Then there's all of this: ...]

God's Judgment on Florida

Dang, maybe God really does have a mad on for Florida in general and Orlando in particular, given the historical track of hurricanes since 1852 as shown below.

Golly, even back in 1852, God knew God's true servant and prophet, Pat "The Oracle" Robertson, would call out retribution on the city of Orlando and residents for the city decision to hang rainbow flags from light poles for Gay Days.

To demonstrate my powers of prophecy, I, D. H. Hill, hereby prophesy a hurricane will hit Florida some time in the future.

OM-Ever Lovin'-G: Pat Robertson says RepubliKKKans too extreme

Wait, did lots of psychic experiments in 70's so did I read that aright?

Pat Robertson, he of God punished Florida with hurricanes because Orlando allowed flags on light poles for Gay Days, thinks the rabid RepubliKKKan base gone too far to the dark side of American politics.

Really.

Wait before allowing my brain to explode, found this at Raw Story so better cross check in case someone at Raw also has psychedelic flashbacks.

Great Jumping Jehosaphat's Ghost, Business Insider reports this also.

Others agree with me the current stable of RepubliKKKan presidential candidates have become certainly politically and quite possibly clinically insane.  Nevertheless, never ever did anyone dream Pat would agree with that.

[Pat Robertson provided a statement Monday afternoon that some may consider a “pot meets kettle” moment.

On the latest installment of The 700 Club, the televangelist the televangelist admitted that even he believes many in the Republican Party have shifted too far to the right.

“I believe it was Lyndon Johnson that said, ‘Don’t these people realize if they push me over to an extreme position I’ll lose the election?’” Robertson said. “Those people in the Republican primary have got to lay off of this stuff. They’re forcing their leaders, the frontrunners, into positions that will mean they lose the general election.”


He added: “You appeal to the narrow base and they’ll applaud the daylights out of what you’re saying and then you hit the general election and they say ‘no way’ and then the Democrat, whoever it is, is going to just play these statements to the hilt. They’ve got to stop this! It’s just so counterproductive!”

It is telling that Robertson, a man renowned for his myriad of controversial comments, believes that the party he supports needs to scale back on its fervor. These comments are significant because Robertson was a co-founder of the Christian Coalition, which became the most powerful faction of the Republican Party in the 80s and 90s.]

[We have officially entered into Bizarro world.
Pat Robertson, host of 'The 700 Club' and the man who once agreed with Jerry Falwell that 9/11 was "the fault of the abortionists, the feminists, and the gays, and the lesbians," and that Katrina was God's punishment for America's abortion policy, thinks the GOP base has become too extreme.
Here's what Robertson had to say on 'The 700 Club' following a discussion about Herman Cain's ever-changing abortion views:

"I believe it was Lyndon Johnson that said, ‘Don’t these people realize if they push me over to an extreme position I’ll lose the election? And I’m the one who will be supporting what they want but they’re going to make it so I can’t win.’ Those people in the Republican primary have got to lay off of this stuff. They’re forcing their leaders, the frontrunners, into positions that will mean they lose the general election. Now whether this did it to Cain I don’t know, but nevertheless, you appeal to the narrow base and they’ll applaud the daylights out of what you’re saying and then you hit the general election and they say ‘no way’ and then the Democrat, whoever it is, is going to just play these statements to the hilt. They’ve got to stop this! It’s just so counterproductive!"

Indeed

It is amazing to watch the GOP standard-bearers contend with the Frankenstein the have courted over the last few election cycles with their focus on social conservatism as the core of their party.]
