1. God talks to me too...

[Dems Will Win]

2. Pat said God told him Bush would win in a walk but now he wants to take it

BACK!

Says God was fooled and thought Howard Dean would be the Democratic candidate but now that it's Kerry, he's no longer standing by God's prediction and wants to take it back!

[Crachet2004]

6. I know who the fool is, and it isn't God...

It's anyone who listens to Pat Robertson!

The problem I've got with the whole idea of the Lord talking to anyone, is why does he always pick idiots? Why hasn't he ever spoken to me, or someone whose intelligence and morality I respect? Why is it that he always talks to people who seem to want contributions of my money? Like Pat.

Once we regain power, these bigtime evangelists are due for another big dose of investigations...throw a bunch of their lying, conartist asses into prison. I hate the way they take advantage of people. And it is long past time they were run completely out of politics.

9. Didn't they tell us that God never makes a mistake/knows everything

from the beginning to the end. So, how is it that God did not know that Dean would not be the Democratic Candidate.....oh, wait a minute.....God said Dean will be! How can we argue with this.....voters better hurry up and vote according to God's wishes! God wants Bush as President! :nuke:

3. God also talks to Andy Rooney

<snip>
"Andrew, you have the eyes and ears of a lot of people. I wish you'd tell your viewers that both Pat Robertson and Mel Gibson strike me as wackos. I believe that's one of your current words. They're crazy as bedbugs, another earthly expression. I created bedbugs. I'll tell you, they're no crazier than people,” said God.

"Let me just say that I think I'd remember if I'd ever talked to Pat Robertson, and I'd remember if I said Bush would get re-elected in a blowout."

“As far as Mel Gibson goes, I haven't seen his movie, 'The Passion of the Christ,' because it hasn't opened up here yet. But I did catch Gibson being interviewed by Diane Sawyer. I did something right when I came up with her, didn't I,” added God. “Anyway, as I was saying, Mel is a real nut case. What in the world was I thinking when I created him? Listen, we all make mistakes."

4. if there was a god

thered be no pat robertson

[zbdent]

5. Did PR explode like in Dogma?

hmm.

[truthspeaker]

7. Why would anyone believe someone who claims God talks to them?

It's impossible to prove, so there would be no way to tell the liars from anyone who is genuinely receiving information from God.

That's why I don't understand why anyone would take a candidate's professed religious persuasion into account when voting. You can't tell if they're lying or not.

8. Be safe & just figure that they are lying! Nothing they have done ......

has shown us that they will ever tell the truth about anything!

10. The LIQUOR OFFICER

Pat Robertson is a coward. What else he is, is open to question. Here's some background on his military record:

The Liquor Officer,
or,
Pat Robertson
Goes to War

EXCERPT...

Quoted below is an excerpt from the book The Most Dangerous Man in America: Pat Robertson and the Rise of the Christian Coalition, by Robert Boston (Prometheus Books, published in 1996). In this excerpt, we learn that Robertson's claims to have served in combat in Korea are a lie -- his father, a US senator, intervened to keep him out of combat. In fact, Pat served in the rear where he consorted with whores and made regular trips to Japan to purchase liquor for the rest of the officers in the rear, hence his title "Liquor Officer."

Quoted from The Most Dangerous Man in America: Pat Robertson and the Rise of the Christian Coalition, by Robert Boston, pages 40 - 42.
Revelations about Robertson's war record also dogged his campaign. In his campaign literature Robertson claimed to be a combat veteran of the Korean War. In fact, he served three miles from the front in a headquarters function ferrying codes to Japan and never saw combat.

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."

11. The Real Pat

According to Greg Pallast the only time Pat sincerely prays is when his Diamonds are being shipped. Pat loved the ousted Liberian President because he was helping Pat with his illegal Diamond trade.

12. Pat Robertson is a gold-plated turd of the BFEE

First and most importantly: A hearty welcome to DU, sunnynair!

Now to business... Pat Robertson also likes gold. In fact, the fellah's a really mighty turd of the Bush Organized Crime Family:

Robertson Takes Flak for Gold-Mining Venture
Freedom Gold has not yet mined much in Liberia, but it is already producing critical media attention for its founder.

By Chuck Fager
Christianity Today
01/21/2002

When televangelist M. G. "Pat" Robertson tried to buy into a Scottish bank in 1999, a public outcry forced the bank to cancel the deal. Now Robertson is taking flak for another business deal. In 1998, Robertson formed a $15 million company, Freedom Gold Limited, to look for gold in Liberia. In 1999, the company signed an agreement with the government of Liberia to begin gold-mining operations.

Freedom Gold has not yet mined much of the precious metal, but it is already producing critical media attention for its founder and principal investor.

The first and loudest denunciations have come from The Washington Post. Colbert King, the Post's deputy editorial page editor, has published a series of articles excoriating Robertson for the deal, and especially for the involvement of Liberian President Charles Taylor. King noted that the agreement gives a 10 percent equity to the Liberian government.

In a letter to the editor, Robertson denied that the Liberian government owned part of the company. Robertson wrote that Freedom Gold has hired 130 Liberians "and is assisting Liberians in gaining a better life." In "Christian Liberia," he added, "Freedom Gold has found freedom of religion, freedom of movement, freedom of expression, and what appears to be a judiciary dedicated to the rule of law."
