Pat Robertson on Sharon

[Black Dog]

Shorter Robrtson: Sharon had it coming.

Television evangelist Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, which Robertson opposed

"He was dividing God's land, and I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the [European Union], the United Nations or the United States of America,'" Robertson told viewers of his long-running television show, "The 700 Club."

"God says, 'This land belongs to me, and you'd better leave it alone,'" he said

Robertson replies

According to his spokesperson, Angell Watts, Robertson is simply reminding his viewers what the Bible has to say about efforts made to divide the land of Israel.

Funny how God didn't similarily smite Lord Balfour or the original creators of Israel, the United Nation.

She also expressed Dr. Robertson’s outrage at People for the American Way, who have a clear left-wing political agenda and who, on an ongoing basis, lift his comments out of context and widely circulate them in an attempt to discredit him.

Comments that he re-iterates in the same statement.

Pat Robertson hates everyone he does not agree with. And when it serves him, he hates the U.S.

Robertson's staff calls this damage control????

According to The Associated Press, Robertson spokeswoman Angell Watts said of people who criticized the comments: "What they're basically saying is, 'How dare Pat Robertson quote the Bible?'"

"This is what the word of God says," Watts told the AP. "This is nothing new to the Christian community."

So exactly where in the Bible does it refer to any Israeli prime ministers???

PR,

You can't deal with sick extremists on other side of the political spectrum. They do not intend to foster erudite debate because they are right and we are wrong.

How many extremly obese (five foot seven inches & over 250 pounds) people manage to make it to the ripe age of seventy eight, hmmm?!

Very few. Ariel Sheron is one of the very lucky ones.

I wonder what Pat's excuse is for our last Pope's (who was fit as a fiddle) dying?

And if he says it was because the best Pope was waiting in the wings .... I'll have to agree.

LONG LIVE JOE RATZINGER!!
