Pat Robertson warns of bestiality wedding cakes: ‘What if somebody wanted to marry his dog?'

[DonViejo]

TV pastor Pat Robertson warned on Thursday that the government could force Christian florists and bakers out of business if they did not cater to weddings where men marry dogs.

After a Washington state judge found on Wednesday that a Christian florist had violated the state’s anti-discrimination law by refusing to sell flower arrangements for a same-sex couple’s wedding, Robertson asserted that an “intelligent judge” would have ruled against the gay men.

“To say that some procedural anomaly in the statute overrides the fundamental religious freedoms of the people, it’s just crazy,” he insisted. “And I hope that the lawyers for this florist will appeal this thing to get into the federal courts.”

“But this is outrageous!” the conservative preacher continued. “To tell a florist that she’s got to provide flowers for a particular kind of wedding. What if somebody wanted to marry his dog? She’s got to have flowers for that? What if there’s a polygamous situation where a guy has five wives and he wants to have five ceremonies, and she’s going to be forced by the law to provide them flowers. I mean, this is crazy.”

1. Has a dog consented to marriage yet?

Or is it one of those "shotgun" weddings?

And since its a dog....shouldn't it be made of Gainsburger?

[Major Nikon]

2. Sounds like Pat screwed the pooch

[merrily]

11. As so often happens, first post on the thread is a winner.

[hobbit709]

3. Why is it that the anti-gay idiots keep coming up with this stuff.

Methinks Pat is projecting a little there.

[jmowreader]

18. It's a calculated move

Any time someone mentions gay weddings, think of forms of sex anyone would find repulsive and go, "well, why shouldn't this be legal too?"

BTW if you want to have lots of fun, when a right-winger starts in on "gay marriage and polygamy are the same," calmly point out the polygamists in the Bible.

[NightWatcher]

4. these guys think about fucking animals a lot

Marriage is a legal contract. When has an animal ever consented to enter in to a contract? Dogs can't buy property or get cable in their name.

[jberryhill]

6. I knew a cat in Minneapolis with a phone number

[hifiguy]

34. IIRC dogs and cats have received credit cards

in the mail in their own names - i.e., Mittens Smith.

[A HERETIC I AM]

38. It's easy to do.

Just send a credit card solicitation back with your pets name on it, just leave out pertinent and needed info like a SS #, etc. (unless of course, your pet has a Social Security number, then go for it!)

[FSogol]

5. Oh noes!

[Mosby]

7. the media should ignore nuts like robertson

Raw story articles just make him and his fellow RW fundy nuts think they are relevant.

Same with limpballs, every time he gets coverage in the mainstream media is a win for him.

[merrily]

12. +1

[brooklynite]

8. SPRINKLES sells cupcakes for your dog...

...but I think it might be hard to get the enscription on...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

9. Instead of flowers, maybe the florist could provide miniature trees or bushes at the reception

Trees might go over big with the dog's side of the family.

[closeupready]

10. Like Gwyneth Paltrow, he's now become a parody of himself.

Honestly amusing, nothing more.

[merrily]

13. How much harm does Paltrow do, though?

[closeupready]

15. None, while Robertson's lies and misinformation have doubtless harmed thousands, or more.

But both celebrities have been famous for decades, and thus, they both seem to have lost touch with reality, seriously. Paltrow's self-delusions harm herself mostly (or only).

[merrily]

17. Yes, Paltrow's cluelessness and self-absorption does harm Paltrow.

I once heart Robertson answer a letter from a relatively young girl asking if it was okay for her to date a 21 year old guy. Robertson could have referred her to an adult relative or her pastor. Instead, the perve tells her it's fine and starts bloviating about Heloise and Abelard!

[Major Nikon]

22. I don't remember him being anything but

[Octafish]

14. Pat Robertson? The Liquor Officer?

http://www.schlatter.org/liquor_officer.htm

[jmowreader]

16. Someone really needs to find and arrest Pat's crack dealer

Being that a dog can't hold power of attorney, isn't an acceptable dependent on a tax return, can't directly be named on a will, and can't testify in court, what would be the motivation for marrying one? Last I checked Neal Horsley calls the family mule his first girlfriend, not his first wife.

[DinahMoeHum]

19. "Ducks. . .sex with ducks. . ."

[mnhtnbb]

20. If I was forced to choose between marrying Pat Robertson or my dog...

you guessed it, I'd marry my dog. Besides, my dog's a she, so, yes, I'd choose gay marriage
to my dog over that buffoon.



Robertson is a complete and utter a$$hole.

[Orsino]

21. Dude hasn't updated his talking points in thirty years. n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

23. Or, his toaster!! Or, his slippers!! Or, his toilet!!

Florists are very touchy about toaster/people marriages, especially if the toaster is male and the bride is also.

[justhanginon]

24. Seems his is a rather hypocritical stance against bestiality since

his marriage involved his wife marrying an ass. I wonder if they had flowers and a cake?

[LibertyLover]

35. Don't know if they had flowers and a cake

but, IIRC, from the date of the wedding and their first born child's birthdate, there may have been a bun in the over, so to speak.

[libdem4life]

25. "Only that which is within your heart cometh forth from your mouth." I think

it's a Bible verse of sorts. You have to be able to see it internally, think about and, in his case, probably watch for awhile to determine its true social evil. Only then are you an expert.

[tabbycat31]

26. Well soon he will be having cake at Rick Santorum's man on dog wedding

[Initech]

28. Or at John Cornyn's man on box turtle wedding.

[Initech]

27. Pat's gone bye bye!

[3catwoman3]

39. We can only...

...hope.

[Rex]

29. What is it with neocons and their sexual perversions toward fucking dogs?

It's as if they are desperately trying to hide something about themselves...

[Initech]

42. I know. They're the only ones who bring up this shit.

And speaks volumes about them more than it does about us.

[Rex]

44. IKR!? When was the last time you heard a progressive or liberal or moderate

worry about X leading to dog fucking? Never. It is always ALWAYS the GOP and the right that has this rather perverse notion about sleeping with animals and dead folk.

It's like some of them think about it constantly. Pat seems to think about dog fucking at least once a week on his show.

[Brigid]

30. I honestly wonder if Robertson has some form of dementia.

I wondered that about Reagan many years ago and later turned out to be right.

[fadedrose]

31. I'd consider marrying the dog before I'd consider Robertson.... nt

[snooper2]

32. why do we keep having threads on the ramblings of one insane senile fundie idiot?

Nobody cares except for the couple thousand 80+ year old fundies who watch his crap

[hifiguy]

33. He really does need to be securely locked away

and given hourly, horse-sized shots of Thorazine.

[bobclark86]

36. And next, GAY marrying your dog!

[freshwest]

37. Amazing how Bryan Fischer and Rand Paul agrees with him:

http://sync.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3131863

Fischer makes no bones about how he loves Libertarianism, as he has spent more time promoting that than Jesus in some videos. The fanatical excitement and light in his eyes are near orgasmic.

I guess we can now count Pat and his racist, sexist, misogynist ravings as part of the crew. Pat didn't get to be POTUS either, but this is all part of the same rotten Reagan era BS that gave us Ralph Reed and other dangerous extremists.

AFAIK, no one can be forced to sell anything that is not a public necessity to anyone. This is just more gay bashing from Robertson. He is endangering the lives of gays with his rhetoric.

He's great at that with his countless rambles and direct threats on the lives of Chavez in Venezuela, demonizing the suffering people of Haiti, applauding the flooding of New Orleans, and calling down the wrath of god on communities that don't allow creationism to be taught as science in their public schools.

He has wished death, assassination and natural catastrophy upon all in those regions he calls cursed. And he's never been called to account for his greed that killed so many in Africa.

Robertson is proof that evil truly exists in the world.

41. what is it with conservatives and their obsession with sex with animals

seriously, WTF IS WRONG WITH THEM

[sakabatou]

43. Pat, you need more Teflon for you slope?

45. If I had a choice between marrying Pat and marrying Fido, I'd say "arf, arf."

[icymist]

46. So Pat, are we talking about men marrying pointers or sitters?
