Pat Robertson: Gay community hunts people down and infects them with AIDS via special rings

Today on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson told co-host Terry Meeuwsen that gay men in cities like San Francisco attempt to spread HIV/AIDS to others by cutting them with a special ring when shaking hands. However, one could not hear Robertson make the remarks on the episode his Christian Broadcasting Network posted online, as the company once again appears to have edited Robertson’s comments after they aired.

While responding to a question from a woman who wondered if it was wrong for the church not to inform her that a man she was driving to worship services is “dying of AIDS,” Robertson admitted that he “used to think it was transmitted by saliva and other things, now they say it may be sexual contact.”

“What to say if you’re driving an elderly man whose got AIDS? Don’t have sex with them,” Robertson said, “unless there’s a cut or some bodily fluid transmission, I think you’re not going to catch it.”

“You know what they do in San Francisco, some in the gay community there they want to get people so if they got the stuff they’ll have a ring, you shake hands, and the ring’s got a little thing where you cut your finger,” Robertson said. “Really. It’s that kind of vicious stuff, which would be the equivalent of murder.”

Did he fall asleep while Captain Planet was on or something?

'faith community' has allowed him to libel, lie, defraud and meddle abroad without airing a hint of criticism. In fact, Robertson has been legitimized again and again, some of Obama's 08 surrogates were big 700 Club Stars, McClurkin and that whole 'war with gays' crowd. You'd think that people who respected their own faith would say something to opposes Robertson and his ilk. But they don't. They sit and listen year after year. He blamed us for 9-11 as well. This is not new, not just because he's old, he has always been this way and he's always been protected by the 'legitimate Christian world'.

Only to the fundies. Those of us who know Jesus is a socialist would disagree. Try saying that most places in RedNeckLand (even though it's true) and it's feet don't fail me now.

Please understand, to me RedNeckLand is not just the South or MidWest - it's anywhere crazies reign.

Extreme homophobia and violence comes from this. Read these links to see what we're dealing with. The first one very detailed and you can see what a snake he is. It's why I call him Blood Diamond Pat.

There is a picture with a racist word at the bottom, so I won't post it, but look what his lies bought him:

Just google something like 'Pat Robertson Exposed' to get more. It's horrible that people vote according to what he spews. He makes out to be the kindly grand father figure like Reagan. People who need father figures and heroes end up following fascists.
