Pat Robertson: Gays use rings to spread AIDS

[7962]

Source: WPXI.com

Televangelist Pat Robertson has made some curious comments about gays, AIDS and jewelry.
While the comments were made yesterday (Tuesday), they were quickly removed from the Christian Broadcast Network's website.

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

You can't make this shit up.
Pat -- the gift of idiocy that keeps on giving.
At least CBN removed it quickly, but maybe they should think about removing HIM. An embarrassment to Christians everywhere.

1. I KNEW IT!

Now we know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Robertson is senile.

I knew it.

[dipsydoodle]

2. No - You can't make this shit up.

[alfredo]

13. He did.

[bluesbassman]

14. But obviously Robertson can...

Worse than sewage scum that one is.

[jtuck004]

3. >maybe they should think about removing HIM< What, then, do you do about the millions who

think just like him? There will be another one, and another, until we find a way to counter the idea, not the person.

[totodeinhere]

4. That's a boldface lie. But Pat Robertson does use his mouth to spread shit. n/t

[gopiscrap]

5. This guy is such a fucking clown

that he even gives the rodeo clown a bad name. What an idiot...doesn't he realize he is just marginalizing himself?

[KamaAina]

6. All over this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023543321

so not really LBN.

[SummerSnow]

7. war on gay rings..now I've heard everything

[7962]

9. Never seen the "gay ring" section in the jewelry store before!

[SummerSnow]

10. me either..Robertson is a quack..no offense to ducks

[beerandjesus]

11. You probably didn't go to the "right" jewelry store!

[alfredo]

16. I remember the days when we could get a gay ring in Cracker Jacks.

[jmowreader]

54. It's between Fraternal and High School rings

[Metro135]

8. It's true!

“There are laws now... I think the homosexual community has put these draconian laws on the books that prohibit people from discussing this particular affliction," he continued.

It's true Pat. I was discussing AIDS on a subway platform yesterday, and suddenly I felt handcuffs clamped on my wrists. "You're under arrest," said the cop. I'm now awaiting trial. I wonder if you could post bond, using some of the millions you bilk from the idiots who believe all the BS that dribbles out of your mouth.

[beerandjesus]

12. I'm sure it's wishful thinking...

...because he wishes it were possible to spread cringe-worth "fundamentalist" Christianity in that way. But it's NOT.

[rarigney]

15. Why...

... does anyone still listen to this bigot?

[alfredo]

18. The paranoid shut-ins, the cat lady, and the tinfoil hat gun hoarders still listen.

[7962]

19. Stop insulting cat-women!

[alfredo]

24. Oops, I mean cat women with parvo infected cats, but is too cheap to see a vet.

[patricia92243]

17. He is senile! He needs to retire - or the networks need to not renew his contract.

[alfredo]

23. He owned CBN and ABC Family. He claimed combat experience, but it turned out he lied. His daddy, a

Senator, got him out of that role and got him a bunny job as a "liquor officer." He was in charge of making sure the officer clubs never ran dry. He also claimed "battle stars" for his time fighting in Korea. That is also a lie.

"We did long, grueling marches to toughen the men, plus refresher training in firearms and bayonet combat." In the same year, he transferred to Korea, "I ended up at the headquarters command of the First Marine Division," says Robertson. "The Division was in combat in the hot and dusty, then bitterly cold portion of North Korea just above the 38th Parallel later identified as the 'Punchbowl' and 'Heartbreak Ridge.' For that service in the Korean War, the Marine Corps awarded me three battle stars for 'action against the enemy.''' Pat Robertson

Robertson is disgusting... no 'holy' man.

[adieu]

21. Hey Pat

wouldn't such a ring only work when the handshake is performed with a strong, manly grip, and not the limp wristed touchy-feely finger touches that those gheys use to greet people with?

Blew your argument out of the water, didn't it?

[Gormy Cuss]

22. I want to shake that man's hand

but I've gone all over the city and can't find any of teh gay AIDS rings. Someone in the Tenderloin offered me a drug addict AIDS ring --- would that do?



This clown is dangerous because so many hang on his every word.

[7962]

25. Didnt even need to read the message; your title cracked me up! nt

[Wolf Frankula]

26. Come On Marion, Those Rings have Blood Diamonds

that you profit from. Time for the former Marine Booze Officer to be put in a home, for the criminally insane.

[FreeState]

27. "some in the gay community"

Its estimated that about 10% in the LGBT community have HIV. But somehow less than 10% is "some" - yeah your clueless Pat. Nice fantasy of being persecuted. I guess I could say "Some in the christian community go around killing gay men" and be accurate.

[Skittles]

28. he needs a mental health evaluation

heck, he has needed one for decades

[FiveGoodMen]

33. His followers need euthanasia

[Skittles]

37. well......I wouldn't go that far

they need enlightenment and education

[FiveGoodMen]

50. If that works, so much the better

[longship]

29. Pat Robertson uses televisionary set to spread bullshit!

That guys a real loon.

R&K

[markpkessinger]

30. Oh, shit, he found us out! n/t

[Skittles]

38. I thought you guys only gave out toasters

I don't recall hearing about these rings before

[markpkessinger]

39. LOL! n/t

[Hassin Bin Sober]

48. Dead men tell no tales.

That's the whole point of the "Gay Cutty Ring Thingy"

[sakabatou]

31. OFFS!

[awoke_in_2003]

32. It may be removed, but I am going to say it anyway...

won't this guy just hurry up and die?

[FiveGoodMen]

34. god doesn't want him, either?

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

[shanti]

53. Only the good die young

Isn't that what they say?

[Paper Roses]

35. This man is nuts! n/t

[cntrygrl]

36. Oh DARN

When I got MY ring I thought it was a silly decoder ring from the old '50s Flash Gordon show so I threw it away. Oh geeez!

[NastyRiffraff]

40. Yet again, I'm proven wrong

Just when I thought the religious right couldn't get any nuttier, this demented assbag spouts his crap.

[Skittles]

42. SCHEDULING NASTYRIFFRAFF FOR ASS KICKING

FOR BELIEVING THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT COULDN'T GET ANY NUTTIER *EGREGIOUS*

[lonestarnot]

60. You gona git it now.

[Posteritatis]

41. Dude's starting to shift from "infuriating" to "sort of tragic" at this point. (nt)

[blkmusclmachine]

43. ???

[Butterbean]

44. Oh for the love of crap. I remember hearing similarly stupid things back when

I was a kid and HIV/AIDS was brand new to the scene and everybody was paranoid. For him to parrot such nonsense is just so beyond breathlessly stupid.

[demwing]

45. Oh...FINGER rings!!!

I thought he meant....uhm...ah just never mind what kind of rings I thought he meant...

[Marrah_G]

46. I think perhaps he needs a mental health check

[hamsterjill]

47. Absolutely disgusting!

But what's more disgusting is that there still exist those people who will send him $20 bucks and go without a meal. There are still those (idiots) who hang on every word that this crazy ole dude says.

He is indeed an EMBARRASSMENT to Christians everywhere.

[tabasco]

49. This preacher Robertson is as evil as a person can be

Con-man rotten to the core.

[daleo]

51. And people give this guy money

And get tax breaks for doing so.

[cntrygrl]

58. That's not all of it ...

Check the link for "the rest of the story"

[tarheelsunc]

52. There is one good thing about Pat, at least.

No one takes him seriously, so when he propagates fundamentalist BS like this, it falls on deaf ears. If someone with slightly more sanity took his place, people might actually listen to them.

[Yo_Mama]

55. And here I thought it was a virus....

Why does anyone listen to this guy any more?

[undeterred]

56. And they learned it from Medieval Bulgarians!

[leftyladyfrommo]

57. Are these guys doing acid or something?

This stuff that's coming out now is just totally wack.

Maybe they all sniff glue or something.

[duffyduff]

59. It sounds like dementia, rather than simply being demented, has finally set it.

I am serious about this. Robertson is saying things even more off the wall than in the past.

[Beacool]

61. Robertson is a manipulator and a RW kook.

But crazier are the idiots who follow him. What is the matter with these people?????

[yurbud]

62. It's only because he uses the cheap rentboys. If he splurged for the high end ones that wouldn't

happen
