1. Like anyone cares what that dooshbag says.

He was on TV the other day, talking about how he'd predicted the economic crisis months ago. Any jerk with half a brain predicted it. It was talked about incessantly all over the news and the internets.

He's just a blowhard who needs to pay more taxes.

[ihavenobias]

2. Sadly, a lot of people. At any rate, the analysis after the Robertson clip is great. n/t

[DissedByBush]

36. If he said the sky was blue, I'd verify first

He's a dishonest crook. He used his charity to do for-profit blood diamond mining work for his company and was a friend to some of the most bloodthirsty dictators in the world. I remember him lobbying the State Department on behalf of the murderous Mobutu Sese Seko. Currently he's chummy with the Chinese government while they oppress Christians.

Anything he says, especially as a Christian, is suspect.

3. Those evangelical loons grade pretty generously to their own....

If this idiot gets a C-, there can't be any D's in his class. What a butt hole.

However, who gives a rat's ass what this goof ball has to say about anything. I wish he would vanish from this planet soon. I can't stand his devilish smile. Satan is waiting for this prick.

[ikojo]

7. I think Robertson attended Yale....so the "C"

may be a gentleman's C which was (and still may be) common at Yale.

[ooglymoogly]

10. He is a graduate of Washington and Lee college later named

liberty hall; His son graduated from Yale and is a chip of the old, rotten block. "BEWARE FALSE PROPHETS" They are both pronounced by me and most of the world to be insane and dangerous looooonatics hiding under the powerful devils cloak of loud but totally phony religion; Preaching a hate that is totally anathema to that of Jesus.

[Ex Lurker]

25. You have that backwards

Liberty Hall was the original name. It became George Washington University in 1796, and Washington and Lee in 1870.

[ooglymoogly]

42. Yes it should have read "previously named" not "later named" nt

[AlbertCat]

37. may be a gentleman's C which was (and still may be) common at Yale.

Bush's second one!

(actually may be 3rd or 4th....5th 6th 7th...)

[JohnyCanuck]

19. Pat might have given Dubya an A,

but he had to deduct marks for un-Christian language when the Jesus loving Dubya used a very un-Jesus like word and said, "Fuck Saddam, we're taking him out."

[gtar100]

4. Pat's upset because *ush didn't go far enough to the right. The guy is a curse to this world.

Given his level of hypocrisy, I find it difficult to believe that Robertson actually believes in God, Jesus, or the Bible as "the Word of God". He's a manipulator of people who's taken it to a high art form. It's easy to see from the outside but he sure has his grip on a lot of people.

[rocktivity]

5. Rocknation gives Robertson an F

12. I can't argue. n/t

[20score]

6. If Robertson is pointing out facts, then there has to be an ulterior motive.

[TheEuclideanOne]

31. Well his party is out of power for one.

I have a friend who could not agree with Bush quicker on any policy for the last 8 years. After Obama was elected, he started telling people he was a democrat and pretending like he didn't really agree with Bush. Since the damage done by this administration is so clear and so widespread, I think alot of people will be trying to distance themselves from Bush and the damage done. Alot of people already have, but this is Pat Robertson after all.

[formercia]

8. Pat Robertson isn't even a Minister

He's a lawyer.

He's just a flim-flam artist.

[pleah]

9. K&R#5 I just

love to read all the posts that roast this wiener. He is one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

[LaPera]

11. Old republican billionaire Robertson is a lying pile of shit, Making billions in

personal wealth because Robertson knew god personally...and he and god used pick up chicks and go on double dates together...god even bought Pat a whole new wardrobe...

ALL these religious TV preachers are simply hucksters...and people actually believe their bullshit!

(Thanks W Allen).

[DutchLiberal]

13. Frankly, I'm sick and tired of the bashing of the 'Wall Street bail-out'...

You know what? If the White House/Congress had not given the banks the money they needed, the banks would all have collapsed and the economy would be in such a disastrous state it would make this current crisis look like a fairy tale.

Also, Robertson, the die-hard evangelical righ-wing fundie, is glad with Obama's cabinet picks, which he describes as "middle of the road". That should tell y'all something...

[Th1onein]

14. The banks would have all collapsed? HUH?

The banks that got the bailout money used it to buy other banks! Where's the crash? That's such pure bullshit! The bailout was the biggest heist in the history of the world.

[DutchLiberal]

16. "The biggest heist"... Sure... It's just a reactionary reflex against all things corporate...

No, I don't like Wall Street either... Yes, if we want the economy to survive we had to give them the money. All the railing against it is, like I said, a reactionary reflex.

[Th1onein]

22. No, this is not a "reactionary reflex...." That's bullshit, too.

When banks tell us that they are going under without bailout money and then they use that money to buy other banks, that's bullshit, friend. We never needed to "save" them. That's just plain old logic.

[DutchLiberal]

43. Okay, then don't save them... Let them go under... See you at the soup kitchens!

[AlbertCat]

38. biggest heist in the history of the world.

Since the 8 billion (in strink-wrapped bundles of bills) that just vanished in Iraq

[Ex Lurker]

26. My problem is with the lack of oversight

rather than the bailout per se.

[DutchLiberal]

44. I can agree with you on that. Absolutely.

But railing against it with knee-jerk reactions like "wWho will bail out us/the consumers/Main Street?" start to get on my nerves.

[alfredo]

32. Pat knows which side his bread is buttered on.

[OhioChick]

15. K&R

:kick:

[Azlady]

17. K&R

[cooolandrew]

18. Yeah we disagree with some of those on the right but they are ready to give this a shot and for>

Obama and the repair work he has to do that is essential it will mean some Republicans will pressure their senators to do the right thing. Getting this show rolling seems to me personally the most important of things to do.

[L0oniX]

20. Peanut head!

[ejbr]

21. Is it just me?

Or does anyone else thinks his praise of Obama is only in response to Warren being chosen for the inaugaration. These right wing bullshit artists will say anything positive about you if you kiss their ass enough, whether they agree with what you are doing or not.

[Javaman]

23. huh, odd, since fluffer robertson was basically going down on moron* on a regular basis. nt

[Seldona]

24. Pat Robertson, yuck.

I am amazed at his assesment of Obama though. He'll be bringing a whole lot of people on board if Pat Robertson is agreeable.

That being said, you give these folks an inch and they'll take your head. Look at how fast they turned on repubs once their sons and daughters started dying. Their support will be fickle at best, and at great cost imo.

[Hulk]

27. God, looking at that cheshire cat grin makes me want to just ....

...slap his silly ass face.

What an ass wipe!

[Robeson]

28. I could give a sh*t what that Elmer Gantry gives anybody.

[diane in sf]

29. God, he looks just like Alfred E. Neuman

[TheEuclideanOne]

30. I thought that I was perceptive.... not so much

As I was watching the clip, I was thinking to myself.... "He must have lost alot of money". Well, the first thing that Cenk said was exactly that. So apparently it is not just me being a master of reading people, but something that is pretty obvious. My first thought is HA HA HA. I see so many people that blindly follow this administration and support these really horrible policies thinking that it somehow does not affect them. Then when it does, they have a sudden change of heart. A lot of people who voted for this tool have lost jobs, probably know somebody who is fighting overseas, lost alot of money, had their jobs outsourced, etc. I wonder at some point if these people ever make the connection.

[nightrain]

33. giving Bush a C- is far too generous... he deserves an F!

[newmac]

34. Why didn't Susanne Malidiot ask US what WE think and not an insane preacher?

Nobody cares what that sick demented insane wackaloon Pat has to say except the other insane wackaloons

[Phred42]

35. Is it true that Robertson's parents were First Cousins?

:shrug:

[eagertolearn]

39. Please take this face off the front page. I haven't read it but he kind of looks

like a combo of Bush very far right preachers. I'm so tired of the mix of religion and politics.

[Joe Chi Minh]

40. Who's robertson to give mark to anybody. He's the biggest dunce there is:

a clergyman who repudiates the Gospel's central tenets.

[Joe Bacon]

41. Pat, I'll listen to you when you pay your fair share of taxes

Even then I'll tell you to shut the fuck up, you sleazy repressed closet queen!

[hangman86]

45. The fact that Obama's cabinent has the Roberterson seal of approval

makes me worry.

[missingfink]

46. Way back in 1988............

Way back in 1988, I had this girlfriend who was a religious-wacko. She was in a college/church
group that was promoting Pat Robertson for POTUS. Even then, I knew he was a false prophet & the girlfriend & I soon parted company. I am still amazed that thinking people buy into what these charlatans are selling.
