Didn't Pat Robertson say...

[demosincebirth]

last year that God had talked to him and told him that GWBush was going to win in Nov, by landslide? Seriously!

[wryter2000]

1. Yup, he sure did

Either God's a fool, which I doubt, or Robertson is hearing voices.

[jjmalonejr]

2. Seriously.

[oasis]

3. That's when Dean was ahead in the primaries and trailing Chimpy in

head to head poll match ups. After Kerry won in Iowa and New Hampshire, Robertson changed his tune. He said something like "God talks to me but I don't always interpret the message correctly".

[Vickers]

4. But....would that mean THEIR God is bigger than OUR God?

:shrug:

I don't get it.

Love,

Robertson cures people people from his TV show...

...but had to go to a surgeon to treat his own prostate cancer.

What would you buy from this man?

6. WOW! I got a post with no number!

7. A dead heat between that post and #4. The times are same.

5. Pat Robertson is an AWOL drunk himself.

9. Thanks for a very detailed account on Robertson's ducking out of combat.

This should be "shouted from the rooftops".

[Octafish]

12. You're welcome, oasis! Pete McCloskey (R-Calif.) was source...

... for the story, back in 1988. At the time, Marion "Pass The Loot" Robertson was running for president as a “Combat Veteran.” McCloskey (R-Calif.) was a just-minted USMC second lieutenant platoon leader on the same transport as Chicken Pat. McCloskey said most of the officers on the ship laughed when Pat bragged he would get off. It was no joke. Pat got his sea bag and waved bye-bye from the dock. Most of the Marines went on to get wounded and killed in combat. McCloskey recovered and went on to run for President against Nixon in '72, proving there is such a thing as a good Republican.

10. that is a great site!

thanks, I hadn't followed that mess.

[Octafish]

13. Anytime, lunabush! Pat is a world class turd of the BFEE.

Pass The Loot Pat likes to make money just like the rest of the BFEE off of war, as well as through oil, gold and precious minerals and gems. From an great vintage Washington Post column, here's a Memorial Day sampler:

Bunkum From Pat Robertson

By Colbert I. King
Saturday, December 1, 2001; Page A25

Yesterday The Post published a letter from Christian Coalition founder Dr. M. G. "Pat" Robertson, responding to columns I have written concerning his pursuit of gold in Liberia. It's easy to become so preoccupied with the details of Robertson's letter that his main point is missed. As I understand his proposition, yours truly has done him wrong: Freedom Gold, Robertson's private, for-profit company, is digging for commercial grade ore in Liberia so that he might be in a better position to lift the fallen, find the lost and bring the sinful into righteousness.

But a word of caution. Robertson's letter should not be received without reservation: It contains some assertions that -- How shall I say this of a televangelist? -- are at variance with the facts.

The first misstatement appears in his first sentence. Robertson said I have twice written columns about him and Freedom Gold. That hurt my feelings. I've actually written four. In addition to the two columns cited, there was also "Pat Robertson: His Liberia Deal" and "Pat Robertson's Gold" .

SNIP...

Another Robertson curio: He stated that Liberia doesn't own stock in Freedom Gold or have any profit interests in the company "at this time." His company's own July 20, 2000, press release states: "Freedom Gold Limited concluded a Mineral Development Agreement that was signed by the president and key members of his Cabinet on May 18, 1999. . . . The agreement provides the Government of Liberia an equity interest of ten percent of the company." And this: "After securing the agreement, Freedom Gold paid the Government of Liberia the surface rental fees required in the license." What's more, Robertson's Freedom Gold point man, Joseph Mathews, confirmed the arrangement in a phone interview and stated that the Liberian government is collecting exploration and rental fees from Freedom Gold.

11. Seems they're ALL

drunks..I recently read an article re Ridge being shitfaced!

[Octafish]

14. Alcohol helps people forget bad things, especially bad people.

Not that Ridgde is bad. His boss may not be smart enough to be evil. The straw boss, on the other hand, is hands-down evil. Busted twice for drunk driving, too.



DICK CHENEY'S YOUTHFUL INDISCRETIONS

When news of George W. Bush's drunken driving arrest surfaced during the final week of the 2000 presidential campaign, Republicans tried to dismiss it as one of those "youthful indiscretions" Bush had steadfastly refused to discuss. Of course, when he got popped in Kennebunkport in 1976, Bush was 30 years old, hardly a kid.

Vice President Dick Cheney, on the other hand, could actually argue that his two DWIs came when he was young and reckless.

Court and police records obtained by The Smoking Gun show that Cheney was convicted of drunk driving twice during an eight-month period in the early 1960s in his home state of Wyoming. The two convictions came when Cheney was 21 and 22 and resulted in fines and a brief suspension of his driver's license.

On November 2, in the wake of the Bush DWI discovery, a Cheney spokesperson told reporters that the vice presidential candidate also had a rap sheet. But the Bush-Cheney campaign refused to provide any further details about the DWI busts. So TSG will now handle that chore.

8. Yes he did. n/t

[amjsjc]

15. Yet another great reason to vote against Bush...

Because proving that God does not talk to Pat Robertson is a beautiful thing.

[lanparty]

16. I wasn't aware that ...

... Pat Robertson and Rev Sun Myung Moon conversed on a regular basis. I thought Moon just ran a propaganda rag for conservatives :shrug: ;-)

[thebaghwan]

17. Pat Robertson is a total waste of space. Anybody who would waste their

time giving him any credibility is an idiot.

[gratuitous]

18. True enough

But you know he mentioned God's handicapping of the race with a definite goal in mind. At the time Patty the Greek posted God's Odds, it was supposed to bolster the "faithful" and discourage anyone opposing Bush the Great and Powerful. It also got play in the national media, most likely for the same purpose.

Now, it looks like the foolishness it always was. We need to remind the 700 Clubbers in our lives of this bit of stupidity at every opportunity.

[oasis]

19. Kick

[BlackVelvetElvis]

20. He also said that FLA was going to get hit by a major hurricane

because of the gay thing. Didn't happen. Instead, VA Beach (700 club HQ) gets nailed by hurricane Isabella last fall. I wonder what god was trying to tell him????

[AwakeAtLast]

21. God tells me

not to listen to Pat Robertson!

[Cleita]

22. God talked to me today and asked me, why are all those crazy

guys saying I told them those things? See, anyone can talk to God can't they? The Bible told us so.

[MrPrax]

23. Here's what George said TODAY!!!

since Pat ain't Prez, it might be more important to worry about the Scriptures according to Saint Shrub

Some highlights...

"And I suspect we'll find there was quite a bit of cynicism, and people were just flat dubious that people in the Far East—who had a religion that was foreign to most Americans—could conceivably self-govern in a democratic style."

"At home, the job of a president is to help cultures change...But I can be a voice of cultural change."

"It recognizes the rightful relationship between hearts and souls and government. Again, my job is to try to distill things down so that average people can understand it."

"The role of government is to help foster cultural change as well as to protect institutions in our society that are an important part of the culture."

Q Do you have a particular message for Pope John Paul II, whom you will be meeting with shortly?

No. I'm there to listen. I will respond. If I would even dare give him a message it would be, "Hold the line." …

"But I never apologized to the Arab world."



"I think that they want to drive us out of parts of the world so they're better able to have a base from which to operate. I think it's very much more like an … "ism" than a group with territorial ambition."

Q More like a what?

An "ism" like Communism that knows no boundaries, as opposed to a power that takes land for gold or land for oil or whatever it might be.

24. Whhaaat???

"..distill things down so that average people can understand it."

Does distill mean "mangle the English language"?

[calimary]

25. "Distill" probably has a special meaning for him

every afternoon when he packs it in after a "hard" day's work.

My husband saw a clip of him on TV the other night and blurted out - "he's drinking again."

[camero]

26. he predicts hurricanes too

and all of them tend to go to him.
