Robertson says Sharon's stroke is God's punishment
2006-01-05
More malaprops from our favorite oily preacher...
The Reverend Pat Robertson says Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's massive stroke could be God's punishment for giving up Israeli territory.
God's been really busy punishing people lately, hasn't he?
The founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network told viewers of "The 700 Club" that Sharon was "dividing God's land," even though the Bible says doing so invites "God's enmity." Robertson added, "I would say woe to any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course."
I'm sure Sharon would have had the same stroke even if he had been 27 instead of 77...
He noted that former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated.
Not by God, though...
Robertson said God's message is, "This land belongs to me. You'd better leave it alone."
Pat Robertson sounds like a very blissful person, doesn't he?

#13  As a Christian I disavow all associations with Dr. Robertson, his opinions, and his rhetoric. Indeed, he will answer to a higher authority and I believe he will be found even more lacking than the average sinner.....buh-bye, Bob

#12  Sharon and God are sitting up there watching Robertson and the Paleos all saying it's Gods will. It is his will, but the punishment crap has the big guy and Sharone laughing till they pee! No need to be upset by fools, I'm certain its just amusing to them in heaven.

Reserve your "woe" saying to horses, and kindly leave the rest of us alone if you would.

#10  Neither does Robertson miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

#9  It just warms the cockles of my heart that know that when he dies, this clown will be spending eternity in the same special corner of HELL that houses Arafish, bin Ladead, et al.

Does that make me a bad person?

Good! :-D

#7  Though Mother Sheehan and Jimmeh Cahtah have since stolen the title, didn't Charles of LGF originally use the term "idiotarian" to refer to Robertson (Falwell?) for stoopid comments on 9/11?

#6  Robertson is to Christians what Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and Cynthia McKinney are to Liberals - hypocritcal frauds who collect money from well meaning suckers.

#5  If, indeed, there is a hell, a most special corner of it is reserved for Robertson and his ilk.

Right. Talk about taking the Lord's name in vain...

#4  Bush should make him ambassador to Iran or maybe Saudi. He's got the In'shallah thing down pat.

#3  Doesn't this idiot ever shut up? Would that this idiot gets a terminal case of hemorrhoids or some other suitable malady so we can all flaunt "God's punishment" back in his own face. Arschloch...

#2  Here's a question for ya Pat?
What the fuck did the rest of us do to deserve you?

#1  Remind me to open a bottle of Champagne when this maggot finally shuffles off of this mortal coil. His appalling abuse of ministry places him on a par with Fred Phelps, Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker. If, indeed, there is a hell, a most special corner of it is reserved for Robertson and his ilk.
