Pat Robertson steps in it again
700 Club website scrubbed Robertson's controversial comments calling Muslims "satanic"


Summary: The Christian Broadcasting Network has scrubbed from its website Pat Robertson's comments on The 700 Club that Muslims who protested controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad were "satanic" and "crazed fanatics" who were "motivated by demonic power." Robertson added that "the goal of Islam ... is world domination."
After 700 Club host Pat Robertson declared that Muslims who protested controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad were "satanic" and "crazed fanatics" who were "motivated by demonic power," adding that "the goal of Islam ... is world domination," the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) program removed Robertson's comments from its website "out of concerns they could be misinterpreted if taken out of context," according to a Robertson spokeswoman who was cited in a March 14 Associated Press report.

1. Revisionist history by the Devil himself.
Pat is a perfect example of what is wrong with Christianity today.

2. I wish God would call him home or at least put him on a long
vacation.

3. Scrub-a-dub-dub ...
The Christian Broadcasting Network has scrubbed from its website Pat Robertson's comments ...

That's a start. When are they going to 'scrub' Pat Robertson himself?

But I appreciate their concern. It's truly terrible when things like hate-mongering and calling for the assassination of others is 'taken out of context'.

16. Just like taking the Bible out of context when it says that women should
have no position of authority over a man or shildren should be stoned for dishonoring their parents. Sometimes things are just wrong and don't really need context

5. It's amazing that this stuff is tolerated. If his comments were directed
Edited on Tue Mar-14-06 05:44 PM by MidwestTransplant
at Christians or Jews he would be removed form the air by public outrage.

This is no different than Father Caughlin (I think that was his name) who broadcast anti semetic rants during the 30's and 40's on his radio show.

6. Sounds a lot like Pat himself...with his diamond mine and oil refinery....

13. He's not stepping in it- it drips out of his pores!
And how many times is this MORAN gonna scrub his site
before he realizes that scrubbing doesn't work?

Hey, Pat, you squirming bag of maggot-ridden monkeyshit:
IF YOU SAY IT, WE RECORD IT! IT NEVER GOES AWAY!
NEVER!
20 years from now, we will still be printing out your words and posting
them on your tombstone every time we piss on your grave!

Pat, you are a feeble, confused old hatemonger,
lost in a world that stopped making
sense when 'talkies' came into vogue.

Do yourself a favor, and slip in the shower already.

9. "out of concerns they could be misinterpreted if taken out of context"
Well, I see them in context, and they're right, there's no misinterpreting his bigoted evil heart.

12. I can see it now
"It's the end of the world and I'm the only one left! Maybe I can find others. Maybe I can help build utopia in the image god would have wanted. OR...I DAMN MYSELF TO HELL ON THE GROUNDS OF BEING THE ONLY ONE LEFT! DAMN ME!" ~pat

14. Better than being a crazed leprechan
I grew up listening to this guy because he was in the same state I was (VA). Just next door, in fact. I was born in Norfolk, he's in Virginia Beach. Luckily there hasn't been any (twitch) permanent damage.

19. I hate to admit this but..
Edited on Tue Mar-14-06 07:59 PM by Virginia Dare
I actually share a gene pool with this cretin (The Good Reverend Pat Robertson). Let that be a lesson to anybody out there contemplating searching their family roots.

17. 'out of concerns they could be misinterpreted if taken out of context,'
You mean, quoted directly??

As always, this pathetic coward runs from the very phrases that get garner the most donations.


Pat you're a coward to the Nth degree.
