  • Pat Robertson really steps in it...

    From Ross Sauer@1:123/789 to All on Wed Jan 13 19:28:21 2010
    I just wonder, doesn't Pat Robertson know what actually causes earthquakes? Seems he doesn't.

    PAT ROBERTSON: And, you know, Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel
    of the French. You know, Napoleon III and whatever. And they got together
    and swore a pact to the devil. They said, "We will serve you if you will
    get us free from the French." True story. And so, the devil said, "OK, it's
    a deal."

    And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after
    the other. Desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It's
    cut down the middle. On the one side is Haiti; on the other side is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of
    resorts, et cetera. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need
    to have and we need to pray for them a great turning to God. And out of
    this tragedy, I'm optimistic something good may come. But right now, we're helping the suffering people, and the suffering is unimaginable.

    Good Lord. Pat Robertson. The Giggling Presidential Candidate.
    Y'know people actually believe him.

    The worst parts about Robertson is that people vote according to how
    Robertson says to vote, and Robertson is a huckster who will sell just
    about anything, from his TV pulpit.

    So while just about everyone still in this echo consider Robertson to be a corrupt horse's ass, there still are many people who follow slavishly what
    he preaches, and will buy what he's selling.

    Really? People actually vote how he tells them to? How many people would that be? Obviously he wasn't too successful in doing so back when he ran for president.

    The only people who worry about idiots like Robertson are you moonbats on the left.

    So while just about everyone still in this echo consider Robertson to be a corrupt horse's ass, there still are many people who follow slavishly what he preaches, and will buy what he's selling.

    How many do you think that is? Obviously he didn't have enough followers to become president. In fact, he was embarrassed so bad how few supported him that
    he hasn't ever tried again. He has less supporters now, so your hand-wringing is unwarranted, but keep it up just the same, it's fun to watch.
