...or someone who looks like he is squeezing out one on live TV?

Decide as you will.

anything that continues the marginalization of the xtian right within the republican party I'm all for

― James Blount (James Blount), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Tis finally clear how he arrives at his usual decisions.

I woke up to hear this shit on CNN at 0630 this morning. That was some unpleasant shit. I'm all GIMME MY NEWS BITCH and freaking out imagining that somehow my television has decided that I need heavy Christian vibes in the am instead of Daryn Kagan and weather forecasts.

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

it looks like Pat Robertson is doing his best weightlifter impression ...

Is that shot the model for 'Alternative President' Bartlett's 'worried look', which is lately being seen more and more?

I *love* Daryn for some reason. She just seems so much for real than artificial, forced-smiley Paula Zahn, whom i'm glad got booted out of the American Morning slot. She's hotter too, which is all that really matters.

Paula Zahn is NOT hot. I should start a thread about this.

I thought it was funny a few years ago when Pat Robertson was making statements about Disney giving benefits to domestic partners and that God should punish them and then a few days later a big storm rolled off the Atlantic and knocked down 700 Club TV tower.

― earlnash, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Pat Robertson is a weird ass sonuvabitch. What is the "700" in the 700 club anyway?

― Cub, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:22 (twenty-two years ago)

That's his number in God's MI-6.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Have I owned up to any of my Pat Robertson stories here?

(I'm on my way afk, so if the answer is "no," I can conveniently pretend not to notice this thread tomorrow.)

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:25 (twenty-two years ago)

SPEAK NOW

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:50 (twenty-two years ago)

My grandmother, who was a left-leaning agnostic Jew, would sometimes watch the "700 Club" in her kitchen. I know not why.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

His "get-out clause" here is that he's ostensibly urging them toward retirement, but we all know what he means.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the funny thing is that he thinks that somehow the change, by whatever means, would lead the court to immediately reconsider. I don't think so.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:19 (twenty-two years ago)

>What is the "700" in the 700 club anyway?

It was something about people giving them 700 dolars a year, or 700 people giving them some amount of money, I forget.

I used to watch the 700 club for the occassional time they did a segment on heavy metal or D&D or the occult - those were funny.

― fletrejet, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 11:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Leaving the house in a few minutes. I'll own up later :)

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Lord, please kick Pat Robertson repeatedly in the bozack. Amen.

</prayer>

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 11:59 (twenty-two years ago)

That story is so disgusting and typical of Robertson, but every time I look at this thread I can't help just busting out laughing at that picture of him.

― Larcole (Nicole), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 12:01 (twenty-two years ago)

(Haha God has pre-emptively granted my prayer! Look at that picture!)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 12:04 (twenty-two years ago)

"One justice is 83-years-old, another has cancer and another has a heart condition. Would it not be possible for God to put it in the minds of these three judges that the time has come to retire?"

Oh forget god or christ and just pray to the angel of death already you hateful fucking bastard.

― g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 12:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I pray that Pat Robertson will meet a nice boy one day and settle down.

And while we're on the topic, can I just say: Jack Van Impe and Roxella (Roxella! rowr!): Classic. Pat Robertson: Dud.

― Paul Ess, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 15:38 (twenty-two years ago)

That's an incredible face... like, it totally challenges the Farting Evangelist guy.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Paul, it's all about Paul and Jan Crouch. Hoooo boy.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, are you making fun of my local neighborhood preachers?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, of course not, Ned. They are national treasures. Just ask my friend who had a popcorn bucket signed by Jan Crouch, which said "Jesus Loves You.. And So Do I! Love, Jan Crouch".

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Van Impe is fun every once in a while to see how he has changed his interpretations of Revelations yet again to fit current world circumstances. But he is too one-note.

Paul Ankenbourgh (sp?) is good when he does occult/heavy metal.

John Hagee is also hilarious. quote: "Do you know what the newest fad is among intellectuals? Toad licking!"

― fletrejet, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

And how could i forget Bob Larson. Search for mp3's of his show.

― fletrejet, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I have run out of Testamints. Y'all should buy me a new package.

― Larcole (Nicole), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

HAHA, Bob Larson is awesome. I have this tape of this silly documentary on HBO back in 1990 called "By Satan Possessed", where Larson is featured. The man must have helium glands. His voice frightens me.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

John Ankerberg - yes!! He's a fundie, but he has the poop on all of the other religions, especially the "newer" Christian variants. Very entertaining.

Something is wrong with me - I'm finding right-wing tv very entertaining these days. Probably because they at least come right out and say what they mean.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Paul and Jan Crouch. Mmmm, now them's good eatin'. This religious guy doesn't like 'em. Of course, he's also getting demonic spam, so y'know ...

― Paul Ess, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

bill callahan (smog) makes those same faces when he sings. honestly!

maybe the people of Liberia can pray God will 'put it in his mind the time has come to retire'.

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 17 July 2003 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

did anyone see today's Mallard Fillmore? it was dissing Justice Ginsburg pretty bad (just like Pat wishing that she [and the other 3 "liberal" justices would just quit so the Court could get more Scalia/Thomas/Rehnquist clones). what exactly is it about her that pisses off the repugnant wingnuts more than, say, Justice Breyer? i mean, i can understand conservative hate for Justice Souter to some extent, 'cause they thought that he was one of them and then he turned out to not be like them. is it just because Justice Ginsburg is a woman?

― Tad (llamasfur), Thursday, 17 July 2003 01:11 (twenty-two years ago)

She's a Jewish woman -- I think you're underestimating Robertson's capacity for veiled anti-semitism.

― Larcole (Nicole), Thursday, 17 July 2003 01:16 (twenty-two years ago)

C'mon, people, Robert Tilton is like Lord God King of all Televangelists. You know, the guy who looks like John Lydon:

Hyuk hyuk. I mean, I know it's not kosher to make fun of the feeble-minded, but anyway.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 July 2003 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

You mean the Farting Evangelist, then.

Ernest Angely was my all-time favorite. Whatever happened to him? I think he was the partial inspiration for Reverend Billy .

― Kerry (dymaxia), Thursday, 17 July 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I always dug how Rev. Angley would make the deaf folks that he had healed say "baby" and "I love Jesus". I once saw a healed girl say "I love Baby" on his show.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Thursday, 17 July 2003 17:19 (twenty-two years ago)

two years pass...

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested on-air that American operatives assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to stop his country from becoming "a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism."

NYT article

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:23 (twenty years ago)

I know who I want assassinated...

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

He has also said that feminism encourages women to ''kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.''

― The King's English (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

Is it OK to like Chavez? My understanding was that any "popular" dissatisfaction with him was manufactured by corporate interests....

― I'm Hi, Jared Fogle (ex machina), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

...and quietly(?) backed by the current Admin, too

― kingfish fucked up his login (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 15:06 (twenty years ago)

Robertson has made controversial statements in the past. In October 2003, he suggested that the State Department be blown up with a nuclear device.

(best "for instance" ever)

― nabiscothingy, Tuesday, 23 August 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

Chavez doesn't exactly follow the Good Government handbook (he owes his career as a statesman to force of arms), but his eco policies are a threat to our corporate trough pigs and hence inspires homicidal thoughts in the "Rev" and the CIA.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 15:13 (twenty years ago)

twelve years pass...

Dude had a stroke yesterday.

let's all pray for him.

― (the blues version in his Broadway show) (crüt), Sunday, 4 February 2018 03:28 (eight years ago)

Cool, now they'll wheel him out on 700 Club like they do to Kirk Douglas at awards shows every so often and people can go "whyyyyyyy??????"

― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 4 February 2018 03:51 (eight years ago)

The Virginia-based network says 87-year-old Robertson is alert and expected to make a full recovery.

No comment.

― A is for (Aimless), Sunday, 4 February 2018 04:20 (eight years ago)

so they're saying Pat Robertson's ok after his stroke?

weird, he certainly wasn't before.
