Pat “Idiot’s Delight” Robertson.

Drudge headline is Biblical Damage. Given the choice I still would listen to Pat Robertson over Owl Gore.

He made some sort of a comment about God punishing Haiti. Would he have made the same comment if a 8.9 hit Alaska? And they have and they will again.

Pat should get of his pompous fat A## and fly down to one of the Haiti Missions where real Christians could use some help.

Pat Robertson is an idiot - but this blogpost, as well as all the other attention - help to enable it.

Remember, he operates on the premise that “all publicity is good publicity.”

I don't think that most of the people being critical of Mr. Robertson actually have watched the video in it's entirety. Mr. Robertson was asking his viewers to donate money for the people of Haiti. His observation was that they have faced many disasters and lived under appalling conditions for centuries. He made reference to an actual historical event as to a possible explanation which anyone with access to a computer or library can easily look up.

I have tried to make light of his observation myself, but anyone who believes in God looks for reasons for natural disasters. He has shared this same type of observation in the past on numerous occasions; I am sure he knew that he would get criticism on this occasion also. I admire him for having the courage to speak his mind despite knowing what the consequences would be and also for being at the head of a very effective and efficient charity.

I think it should be “Caput capitis in recto” - ablative case is required by “in”

Pat Robertson is trotted out by the media and the Left as a nutcase who somehow is typical of those pesky Republicans and Christians, yet Rev. Wright is no problem, he’s a regular guy, and his association with you-know-who is nothing of interest, not worth reporting.

Accounts in the media yesterday spoke of Robertson being a “fire and brimstone” type of preacher. Many years ago, I was stuck home sick and actually saw some of the 700 Club shows on TV. I recall him sitting quietly, explaining the history of what was happening in the Middle East in a calm, straightforward manner, no shouting, no pulpit pounding, just talking. He wasn’t over the top in any way, was just giving historical information that I later corroborated by reading some “non-religious” sources. His version was the first time any of it made sense to me in terms of what was going on (Beirut/Lebonon) at the time).

Obviously he sounds over the top with the Haiti dicussion, but it should be easy for the media to simply present scientific data to refute his comparison between “Haiti-with-a-Devil-pact” vs. “The Dominican Republic-Satan-Free-Zone” with respect to natural disasters, famine etc. Maybe there are geograpic differences, for example. But he’s just such a prime tidbit for them to use to badmouth the Right.

Alan Speakman wins the “ten minutes of hate” award for the most politically correct slogans of hate in one blog post. Way to go Alan. You are a “smart one” now!!!

There are leaders of the black shirt mobs and there are mob members...For his lack of orginality, Allan is a mere mob member.
