True, he deserves to be bashed hard on his weird prophecies, but he has accomplished quite a lot in his lifetime. For a man to create a conservative media empire in the middle of the liberal wasteland of media is no small feat; and his education of rank-and-file christians on political issues has been monumental over the last decades thru the christian coalition and his media pipeline. For these works he should be commended, notwithstanding the incessant hatred he's faced from the liberals and the conservatives like those on FR who follow their lead.
Pat's opinion shouldn't be discounted IMO. I find it very interesting that he's endorsing Giuliani. Huge plus for Rudy IMO.

Pat endorsed Dole in the GOP Primaries in 1996, Bush Sr. in 1992. In fact, he’s endorsed the most Socially Liberal Republican candidate in every election since Reagan - during the primaries, not just the General Election. He all but endorsed Rudy911 for President as far back as 2004 - this is no surprise. He has always believed the more Liberal the GOP candidate, the better his chances.
He opposed the Clinton Impeachment, opposes the Death Penalty, believes in Man-Made Global Warming,.........I mean seriously, the man is not a “Conservative.” You seem to confuse “Republican and Preacher” with “Conservative.”
He’s never been a very Conservative Republican, neither is his media outlet.
And for all of the achievements you point out as positives - they are all meaningless if he’s willing to sell out every principle he’s preached just because he really hates Hillary.
I think less of Pat after this, not more of Rudy911.
And I will still never, ever - under ANY circumstance - EVER vote for Rudy911. So help me God. To hell with the Grand New Party if Rudy911 gets the nod.
Pat "created" that conservative media empire on the back of donations from everyday mom and pops. He then sold that media empire (CBN) to Rupert Murdoch. He profited from it. Not the people who gave him the money to build it. Nor did it continue in operation for the stated reasons with which donations were solicited (not that that stops him from continuing to solicit donations to keep "700 Club" "on the air"). He is unethical. Period.
