Earlier this week, Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said God told him who will win the 2008 presidential election. “He told me some things about the election, but I’m not going to say,” he said.
Last night, Robertson appeared on Hannity and Colmes. When asked by Alan Colmes whether God had spoken to him about the election outcome, Robertson said he was “a little shaky on it” and was “not sure.” But Robertson then implied God told him a Democrat would win the White House:
COLMES: You said that you convene with God on a regular basis. You go into deep prayer and mediation, and you just recently say to you was revealed who would be the winner in November. Is that correct?
ROBERTSON: I felt so. But I’m a little shaky on it and I didn’t want to say anything about it publicly. I’m not sure I heard from the Lord. And if I did, I hope I heard wrong.
Sean Hannity then followed-up and asked who Robertson heard would be President. “I’m not saying publicly Sean,” Robertson replied. “My lips are sealed.” Watch it:
In 2004, Robertson claimed that the Lord told him it would “be like a blowout” re-election for President Bush. Bush, however, received just 51 percent of the vote that November. In 2006, he incorrectly predicted that “the outcome of the war and the success of the economy will leave the Republicans in charge.”
How would he verify it was the Lord he heard from and not his delusional mind?
January 5th, 2008 at 1:35 pmI think that tapeworm in his brain wiggled a little.
January 5th, 2008 at 1:39 pmTalking, i.e., praying to God is fine. However, if one believes that God talks to him/her, that is INSANITY!!! Pat Robertson is certifiably INSANE! Madmanism!
January 5th, 2008 at 1:44 pm‘Verify’ …is the word. Old trick of these fright peddlers, no proof what so ever. They think ‘who can question god?’…..I question your motive pat, $$$$$$$$ and power.
January 5th, 2008 at 1:44 pmi know the words he heard:
“huck huckabee”
spaketh the lord.
January 5th, 2008 at 1:46 pmWhat. A. Tool.
January 5th, 2008 at 1:49 pmDont forget his fantastic statement last year:
predicting that there will be a horrific terrorist attack later this year. He made his prediction on the Christian Broadcasting Network show The 700 Club. Robertson said God told him a “mass killing” will affect millions of people.

Guess that one didn’t happen. Either God was wrong or this guy really isn’t getting messages from God.
January 5th, 2008 at 1:53 pmPat Robertson seems like kind of a cartoonish character to me. I mean if your right-wing antics are getting laughed at by Sean Hannity you’ve definitely gone a little too far.
What is a little worrying though is the fact that Pat Robertson actually does have an enormous amount of influence with millions of people.

Ya Think?
To paraphrase Archibald MacLeish,
“If God is God He is not talking to Pat Roberston.
January 5th, 2008 at 1:57 pmIf God is talking to Pat Robertson he is not God.”
‘Sides, everyone knows only Jake and Elmo get their orders from God….
January 5th, 2008 at 1:58 pmWhy does anyone still listen to this pathetic little man? He seems to be screaming for attention, and coming up with absurd ways to establish some sort of relevance.
Sorry, Pat — there are people in this world far more worthy of our respect and our attention. People who have a more sane relationship with God, too.
January 5th, 2008 at 1:59 pmI wonder why he assumes the voices in his head are from God and not Satan. When the voice tells him something he likes, it’s God (even though the voice was totally wrong), but when it’s something he doesn’t like, he’s not sure if it’s God. Why is that? Why does he assume that the God he worships likes the same things he does?

Actually God did talk to Robertson about 9/11. He said it was Clinton’s fault so Pat didn’t concern himself with it. Ghouliani got the same msg so he stuck with his unworkable radios. No need to worry about it if Clinton can be blamed.
January 5th, 2008 at 2:32 pmI gather god has developed a speech impediment and is unable to express his views as clear as he use to. That and combined that Pat Robertson is addicted to poppers.

January 5th, 2008 at 2:51 pmNext he will be proclaiming that the World will end in 30 days… lock him up! Litium should do the trick!!!
January 5th, 2008 at 2:51 pmA nice way for someone to kill his extra time.
I wonder if he can tell us if God spoke to him with Southern accent. Hannity should have asked him that question.
While he is acting as a clown with these divine prophecies he continues to claim he has, GOP politicians look always for his endorsements to win. How sad….!!

January 5th, 2008 at 3:01 pmMy favorite part was when Sean Hannity asked, “Are the initials H.C.?” Deep down, I think Sean Hannity actually believes that God speaks to Pat Robertson.
And perhaps more to the point, Republicans like Hannity continue to believe that Hillary Clinton is destined to be the Democratic nominee. They need to believe it. They’ve been preparing for years to launch the most vicious smear campaign that has ever been launched in American politics. If Hillary isn’t the nominee, they’ll have to go scrambling for a set set of racist taunts for Obama–since the first round evidently hasn’t worked.

This from Crooks and Liars.
January 5th, 2008 at 3:25 pmPat Robertson has become the “poster boy” for acute and profound mental illness in this country. He’s clearly a psychopath at this point - advocating murder and all sort of dark, ugly things. And he calls himself spiritual? Not by any stretch of the imagination.
January 5th, 2008 at 3:25 pmNat: You’ve got it! The mainstream media (a wholly owned subsidiary of the white house and the GOP) have painted Hillary as the candidate and much to their chagrin, they will be thwarted by the will of the american people who not only realize what they’ve been doing and how critical it is to the mega swiftboating already in the works for Clinton….but how they have a great deal to lose (like their freedom aka prison time) when/if Obama or Edwards gets into the white house. These two will not permit the criminals within to get their sorry butts off the hook for their crime spree but, instead, will begin hearings and prosecutions pronto.
This is a huge election - and what’s at stake here is not merely a political party inhabiting the highest offices of this country but it means prosecutions and the end of many political lives when justice is served.
January 5th, 2008 at 3:28 pmIf Robertson ever touched true Holy Water it would sizzle just as it does in the presence of Satan. Why anyone who is rational believes anything this charlatan says is beyond me. He is just the modern version of a snake oil salesman, minus the horse and wagon from old west movies. That Hannity is inclined to believe him tells you a great deal about the reality that those two live in.

Since the bible ends with Revelation, this is what these “leaders” want to accelerate, or correctly said, cause. The Founding Fathers had the insight to keep religion and politics separate. On, Romney, all this coiffured Fascist has going for him is his jaw and his last name. Fsck all these Inquisitors, you are not going to make us build pyramids, nail us to crosses, burn us at the stake, hunt for us in unions, and put us on “undesirable” watch lists. We will resist.Your god is a paranoid, angry, violent, vengeful, myth. Mine inspiration is Logic. Love, and Creativity.
January 5th, 2008 at 5:20 pmI havn’t checked your facts yet, but if Robertson said that, I would say it’s a pretty accurate statement. If he didn’t say it, he should have.

Interesting. You know a lot of feminists who practice witchcraft, kill their children and become lesbians? Or, hell, do you know any feminists at all? Or are you simply delusional like Pat?
Here’s a bonus quote:
January 5th, 2008 at 5:21 pmWhats the problem with Wiccans?
January 5th, 2008 at 5:21 pmSo Pat could not tell if it was God or not.
Inquiring minds would love to know if it wasn’t God who was it.
January 5th, 2008 at 5:23 pmOh, and gummitch, if you havn’t met any women who have killed their children through abortion, or any feminist Wiccans, then you just havn’t been around long enough.
Comment by O. Bigfoot — January 5, 2008 @ 5:19 pm
I’d be willing to be I’ve known more feminists than you, and none of them ever killed a child or practice witchcraft. There might have been a few Wiccans in the crowd, but your attempt to conflate the two reveals more ignorance about Wicca than anything else.

January 5th, 2008 at 5:23 pmdo you know most of the world believes Bush knew of 9/11 before it happened? That is not a liberal argument, but a world wide one…. most around the world view US as very stupid.
But good attempt at trying to change the subject, a subject that makes those on the right out to be the complete fools they are.
IT’S BEEN 2000 YEARS SINCE JESUS/MOHAMMAD LIVED.

January 5th, 2008 at 5:25 pmYou should all agree with that, since it appears you all hate the Bush family even more than you hate Robertson, and Robertson might have kept Bush One out of the White House.

I don’t hate them. In fact I used to be their neighbor. I have met George and Barbara more than a few times. They are okay in the typical yacht club waspy sort of way you would expect. I didn’t vote for George and wasn’t his biggest fan during his presidency but I don’t hate the people. Their son is beyond lame but that can only partly be put at the feet of the parents

Comment by dbadass — January 5, 2008 @ 5:21 pm
Because Wiccans and Pagans represent the side of the brain that bored-again psychos don’t usually use. Much like the nuns would smack the left hand of children if they used them. You can see it, the Right Hand Brain is when Creative, Spatial, Non Linear thought originates from. The “devil” lives there, since those Pagans during the Inquisition used to eat psychoactive mushrooms, dance naked, make better healers than the clergy, and were midwives. This lifestyle requires more Non-Linear thinking than the rote, Linear thinking of the Cro-Magnon, Left-Brain dominated religious fanatics………The ones who jailed Galileo, Leary, and Reich, burned Bruno, made Socrates drink poison, and chased Einstein.
January 5th, 2008 at 5:30 pmBut what about the lead free 12 place setting of China that Jesus is going to get?

Would that be the lipstick type or the butch type? Please define your stereotypes. I don’t mean to pry but why do you know so many womaen who have had abortions. I know many people and have lived in many diverse communities and I only know three. They are all well and at peace with the difficult issues and decisions they faced and made. Still I am glad that abortion remains a safe and legal private matter.

January 5th, 2008 at 5:38 pmI was talking to god just this morning. He told me he never spoke to Pat Robertson.
January 5th, 2008 at 5:39 pmDear Pat
I don’t know if you’ll get this letter, but writing this is part of my therapy, and I’m hoping the message will get through to you somehow.
You are in for a big surprise when you get here, as I was.
There are lots of very nice people, and they are very patient.
It was rough at first, it’s very cold out here, and there is no sign of mansions or harps or any of that crap. (It’s OK to use rough language here, it’s part of the therapy also, and God actually gets a large charge out of hearing her name uttered in blame.
I don’t see to much of her (yes Pat, sorry, but it’s true…)
She came by when I first got here, and she’s really not all angry and vengeful, more like she’s sad and disgusted with some of us, I don’t think she likes me much…
Anyhow, I just want to say that if I were you, I would drop out of sight, quit making up all that BS about God talking to you, and call up that Dalai Lama dude , try to see him if you can.

January 5th, 2008 at 5:41 pmAs far as women I have known who have had abortions, some were either hard-hearted feminists who either really didn’t regret their actions, or simply hid their true feelings.
Comment by O. Bigfoot — January 5, 2008 @ 5:30 pm
And there you have it, the amazing psychic super powers of Bigfoot.
And, Bigfoot, maybe they didn’t regret their actions because there was nothing to regret, because they had made the correct decision at the time.
I’ve never known a woman who was happy about having an abortion, not one. But able to live with the decision? Yes, and none of them with the dramatic scene you describe. Perhaps it’s a matter of them being strong women who made their own decisions and, being adults, able to live with them.

Actually, bigmouth, the Bush family is not so much hated here as vilified because they are antiAmerican scumbag traitors, for decades now. they ahve never hesitated to support America’s enemies, with both money and words, and have never put their loyalty to America above their sociopathic greed. So, if there are some Bush haters here, it’s because they’re clear of mind and knowledgeable of history. The rest of us merely see them for the enemies of America they are and have been for over 100 years.

The God who commands:
“Thou shall not kill”
And “The least you do unto your brother, you do unto Me.”
Or the “other” god that says:
“Kill thine neighbor”
“Only the righteous ma throw stones”
Just which one does he kneel before?
As far as Patty’s generalized predictions go, they are so general and he’s never ever specific, just so that he always right. “I won’t say who, what, when, or why, but any way, I’ll be right!”
This man does not represent Christianity. For his actions lack that “Christ-like” quality that Christians exude. Patty is an EVILgelical.

Comment by CaptainMantastic
Many adults in the United States believe the current federal government has not been completely forthcoming on the issue of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to a poll by the New York Times and CBS News. 53 per cent of respondents think the Bush administration is hiding something, and 28 per cent believe it is lying.
Only 16 per cent of respondents say the government headed by U.S. president George W. Bush is telling the truth on what it knew prior to the terrorist attacks, down five points since May 2002.
If only 16 percent say the government is telling the truth, that means that 84% think that Bush may be covering up something. That directly contradicts your link troll.
January 5th, 2008 at 8:18 pmbilbo. It’s interesting that I went and found some information that describes democrat support for 9/11 conspiracy as (what I believe is)unreasonably high. And then you find info that shows it even higher, not content with my link. My goal is not to derail this thread. I just find it interesting how different we see the issue.
Comment by CaptainMantastic — January 5, 2008 @ 8:40 pm
Your linked article makes no attempt to define what they mean by “Bush knowing about the attacks in advance”, there is no definition of what question was being answered, and no clarification of anything that would equate to “9/11 conspiracy”. It could just as easily mean that Bush had been briefed in advance about Al Qaeda operations, including the possibility of using airplanes as weapons. Do you question that?

January 5th, 2008 at 9:19 pmReligion, in and of itself, isn’t the problem. The problem is the use of religion, by powerful people, as a tool of manipulation. Generally, it’s benign. But, when hateful (bleep)s like Patsy gain a following, there is a real possibility of “good” people being manipulated to do “bad” things. Many, many, people simply don’t have the strength, or resolve, to think for themselves. Those are the ones a predatory preacher, like Patsy, can influence.
Humans have always been susceptible to “charismatic leaders”. Most people simply don’t bother examining the motives of those who tell them what they want to hear. And religions become a powerful political tool when they fall into the “wrong hands”.
We live in a time where charismatic leaders have learned to use the, relatively new, methods of mass communication faster than society has built up a defense. Thus was born the “religious right”.But? There is some encouraging news.
While the religious right has drawn together, they have taken up a militant dogma that, to all appearances, is losing it’s appeal. And, by voting for their chosen religious figures, they marginalize themselves. Reagan gave them a voice. Bush 41 gave them power. Bush 43 let them display their ineptitude. And Huck may reduce them to the level of a bad joke.
The Iowa caucus is a prime example. The hardcore evangelicons gave Huck his “win”. But the “non-religious non-right” showed up in record numbers and made his “win” insignificant. The fact of the matter is that most people aren’t fanatics, and don’t like fanatics. And? I think Iowa was just the first blow. The first of many blows which will kick the fanatics back to the fringes of political power.

Bush may or may not have known anything at that time. He was clueless, and losing his support rapidly. He was on his way to one forgettable failure of a term.
