How stupid is Pat Robertson? His actions not words

If Pat truly believes God told him of an attack on the US that will kill millions, I think he said, why would he still be in the US today? I would have found my way out of the country real fast if I thought God had told me such a thing.

1. The only reason Pat ever speaks...
... is to solicit more donations from the sheeple.

He's not stupid, just evil.

4. Shouldn't Pat be in GITMO? I mean if he has an inside track then he should
be sporting an orange jumpsuit right now.

5. Pat has a long history of being the recipient of predictions
by God, few of which have proven to come true. He is a failed prophet, and few listen to him anymore, with the possible exception of his constituents. <http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/18/national/main1628215.shtml>

6. He's not as dumb as he looks. He knows it's in his and Bush's best interest
to say stupid fucking things like he does because he wants us to get pissed at religious people in general, not just him. Robertson wants the deep divide between us to stay that way. We have to try not to take it out on all ultra-religious people, but just on Roberts. He's just doing his best to make sure we stay divided and he wants us to keep stereotyping all evangelicals as being just like him, when they're all probably not that bad.

7. Are you kidding? This is how he makes cash.
He tells confused old people that horrible things are going to happen if they don't send him money, and it works!

Maybe I should start doing it.
