Pat Robertson: Drinkers And Pot Smokers Are 'Enslaved To Vegetables'

[DonViejo]

Televangelist Pat Robertson said on Monday that marijuana users and drinkers are "enslaved to vegetables."

Speaking on his Christian Broadcasting Network television show "The 700 Club," Robertson said that addiction is contrary to God's will, because man has dominion over "all the vegetables."

Robertson continued: “Cocaine is the product of a vegetable, alcohol is the product of a vegetable, marijuana is a vegetable. And yet, people are enslaved to vegetables."

“Why would you become a slave to a vegetable?" Robertson said. "Why? Why would you do it?"

1. “Why would you become a slave to a vegetable?"

You would have to ask your viewers Pat. How can they watch a vegetable and actually send it money.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

2. In a way --

so is Pat Robertson's audience.

[Paladin]

3. So are your listeners, Pat. (nt)

[Submariner]

4. At least he didn't cast aspersions on his asparagus n/t

[HereSince1628]

5. Knows shit about evolution OR fermentation. IT'S THE YEAST PAT, THE YEASTS!!!

[Panich52]

6. Oh no! After tokin a little, I open a nice bottle of red and thoroughly enjoy

yet another product of veggies: a porterhouse steak cooked medium raw.

BTW, Pat, weren't Adam & Eve vegetarians before 'the Fall'?

[tanyev]

7. I, for one, welcome our new Hordeum overlords.

[NightWatcher]

8. says the guy who is nuttier than a fruitcake

[blogslut]

9. Says the huckster who hawks a soy and flaxseed diet shake.

Way to sabotage your brand, Mr. Pat.

[Efilroft Sul]

10. Odd, considering Pat's ACLJ was slavishly devoted to keeping Terri Schiavo alive.

Post alert coming in 3, 2, 1...

[SomethingFishy]

11. Gee, one could say the same about Pat Robertsons Followers...

[Erose999]

12. I was gonna say that buds are not vegetables but... brocolli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, I

have to hand it to the liquor officer, he's got me there.

I don't think it counts as a vegetable unless you eat it though. So pot brownies are vegetables. But if you smoke it its not a vegetable.

[lpbk2713]

13. It's well past time for this clown to retire and stay quiet.

He's embarrassing himself and everyone associated with him.

[hifiguy]

14. Since he is already a mental vegetable,

maybe he's onto something. Or on something.

And ya might wanna take a look at all the fern-level-IQ people who send you money, you senile old fraud. Talk about being enslaved by vegetables!

[bigtree]

15. yeah, man

[Oilwellian]

16. Well, my mother always said...

smoke your vegetables! LOL

[riderinthestorm]

17. Vegetables are healthy for you Pat! Didn't you ever listen to your mother?!

What an ass. I didn't know he could get any more ridiculous but I was wrong...

[Vinca]

18. Whoa . . . you couldn't make that up if you tried.

Yes, Pat, it's true. I'm a salad slave. Can't help myself. I'm just powerless when I see a big salad.

[pipi_k]

19. Those bastards

are trying to kill us all....

[Rex]

20. Because Pat, angry tomatoes are very intimindating and it is better to

do what they say...or the cucumber gets it!


BOW DOWN TO ME!

[MuttLikeMe]

21. Nah. Pat's got a point here.

I was gonna pile on, but I watched the whole thing, and I thought he made sense.

Sue me.

[Aerows]

22. I guess

I'm going to hell for reason #435,627 according to Mr. Robertson. The cabbage I ate for dinner tonight never did anything to me, but I still consumed its leafy essence.

The "I'm gay" "I'm female and unmarried" and "have not borne fruit and multiplied" are probably more important in the destination after my demise, but damn it, eating my vegetables and enjoying them were probably the last straw.

Oh Satan, you head of cabbage. Oh evil, you green bean. Oh sacrilege you bunch of carrots.

[Taitertots]

23. Someone told him about an apple pipe and he got it all wrong

"What?! They're smoking APPLES"
