Romney campaigner Pat Robertson tells man to beat his wife

Mitt Romney spent Saturday campaigning with religious right extremist Pat Robertson. Romney was using Robertson to "prove" that he's a "real" Christian.

Which is ironic, since most would question Robertson's claim to speak for Christianity. (It also makes you wonder what Mitt Romney thinks a real Christian is - if he thinks Pat Robertson is God's messenger.) Here's Mitt and Pat together at an event this weekend.



Yesterday, fresh off of campaigning with Mitt Romney just 48 hours before, Pat Robertson told a caller to his TV show to beat his wife. Via Right Wing Watch:

For example, today on the 700 Club’s “Bring It On” segment where viewers ask Robertson questions, one man wondered how he should go about repairing his marriage with a wife who “insults” him and once tried to attack him.

“Well, you could become a Muslim and you could beat her,” Robertson responded. “This man’s got to stand up to her and he can’t let her get away with this stuff,” Robertson continued, “I don’t think we condone wife-beating these days but something has got to be done.”

He later said the woman is a “rebellious child” and pondered if she has psychological problems. Robertson told the viewer that since he “can’t divorce her according to the Scripture, so I say: move to Saudi Arabia.”
Robertson's network has now censored the broadcast, but fortunately Right Wing Watch got it first:

This is a nasty story... but people need to know who Romney pals around with...

the fact that Romney has to depend on Robertsons support, shows a level of desperation, and lack of real substance

1. Sorry!! to say I ever thought imputations of misogyny were an over-statement.

[Sheepshank]

2. The Right continues to marginalize and dehumanize women

...clearly women are NOT equals in their perspective.

[atreides1]

12. Yes they do...

And yet, women still support them...talk about a group of self loathing individuals!

[Lucy Goosey]

3. Romney palling around with man who endorses Sharia law!!!!!

Seriously, that's how this should be spun.

9. +1

[BlueState]

19. Excellent!

That is the perfect way to frame the argument.

Any ideas on how we can get this out.

Maybe you should send and email to the Ed Show.

4. Pat Robertson is a Lawyer, not a Man of the Cloth

He's no more a Minister than I am.

Co-host tried to object to what he was saying and it was worse than what is quoted in this link.

6. Gee's

So this is what I would have to look forward to if these bastards win? How could any woman in their right mind vote for these people?!! I am going to show this to my mom and my sister who are planning on voting for Rmoney but I know what their response is going to be already - He just had his words twisted by the liberal media honey... err!!!

7. Pat Robertson's deplorable comments never stop!

Someone should put together a list of all the truly nasty things he has said---it would be a LONG list!

8. Christian my ass

That is the most evil sucker that ever lived...

He makes Chaney look like a saint, and that ain't easy

10. He needs a bumper sticker: "Another old crazy white guy for Mitt"

13. It was almost exactly a year ago Robertson said it was ok to divorce someone with Altzheimers. Why

anyone would listen to that man is beyond me. He's going to have some explaining to do when he goes before his Judge.

14. Pat Robertson telling someone to become Muslim?!

But, but, but, but I thought all them there Mooslims was a-goin' straight to H-E-double hockey sticks!

16. “can’t divorce her according to the Scripture"

EXCEPT if she has Altzheimer's, right Pat?

Televangelist Pat Robertson ignited yet another firestorm this week when he suggested on his program that divorce is an acceptable solution for a husband debating whether to stay with a wife who has Alzheimer's disease because the disease is like "a kind of death."

17. Good! Shine the light on this crazy man

Of course, his followers drank the kool-aid long ago --- so it matters not what crazy mysogyistic bullshit Pat spews out.

Someone should ask Mitt for his OP on this....

18. I find it impossible to understand how Pat Robertson became a billionaire

selling his brand of tripe.

22. Hey Pat ...

[tanyev]

23. Ol' Pat's looking pretty frail these days. He must have stopped drinking his energy drink.

You know, the one that allows him to leg press 2000 pounds.
