http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/pat-robertsons-cbn-suggests-god-moved-hurricThe religious lifestyle show hosted by televangelist Pat Robertson on Monday suggested that Christians in Florida had convinced God to move soon-to-be Hurricane Isaac away from Tampa, Florida to protect Republicans.
During a segment about how Isaac forced the first day of Republican National Convention to be cancelled, Christian Broadcasting Network's Paul Strand noted that Current TV host Jennifer Granholm sent out a "snarky tweet" saying that "God has ways to shut that whole thing down."
"For anybody who's a liberal who's part of a party that would like to whitewash God out of America, it's amazing that she's acknowledging that God has any part in the storm," conservative radio host Bill Bunkley told CBN.

"We have had lots and lots of people praying around the clock that it would move," Rev. Jesten Peters explained. "And if you watch from the very beginning where they were saying it was coming up and now where they're saying it's going, then it's really moved a lot for us, and we appreciate God doing that and moving it for us."
So I guess Christians really hate New Orleans.

(17,175 posts)Just smiting the hell out of the bubba's convention would be pretty obvious. I give God credit for being a bit more subtle than that.
No, Isaac will landfall -- around New Orleans -- both seven years to the day after Katrina, plus at the same time as the bubba party is anointing Prince Romney. Everyone knows who was in charge when NOLA drowned.
Surely many will see what this is all trying to tell us.
