Pat Robertson loses fight to keep 'gay AIDS power rings' off the Internet

[ck4829]

Two weeks ago, the Christian Broadcasting Network tried to cover up remarks made by Pat Robertson, the founder of CBN and host of its flagship show the 700 Club, about how he believes gay men wear special rings that cut the hands of people they meet in order to infect them with HIV/AIDS.

CBN not only had the video we posted of Robertson’s comments removed from YouTube by complaining that it violated copyright laws, but also edited the comments out of its own broadcast of the show.

We reposted our video elsewhere, but CBN also had it removed from websites such as Vimeo and Dailymotion.

We filed a counterclaim with YouTube asserting that our video was protected by Fair Use and yesterday we finally received word that our video had been restored.

2. Is it bad that I hope Patty-boy doesn't live too much longer?

He's a blight on our society and makes everyone in American look bad, Christians and Non-Christians.

Kissinger, Rockefeller, Cheney and other dinosaurs...refuse to die, refuse to stop "helping" the world. I think we can safely add Pat Robertson to that list- the world is much quieter without his BFF Falwell around.

16. Won't help. Just like feral cats, you kill one another steps in to eat the food left behind.

Shelters have been killing them off for years, they just keep replacing themselves.

You have to spay or neuter them, and leave them in place. Then they can't breed but don't leave room for another to come in.

In the case of people that means finding ways to innoculate, or educate, others to deal with the crap people like Robertson spew, effectively neutering their message. You won't get them all, just like stray cats, but at a certain point you stop the population from growing or even being able to sustain itself.

11. The worst by far is that there's a big audience for his shit.

WAY too many people just love to be told that the world is only meant for them and they can feel free to persecute all of the 'others'.

12. If there isn't a rock band being formed right now called "Gay AIDS Power Rings"...

I will have officially lost all faith in the internet.

13. Pat is too busy right NOW

to worry about rings....God is punishing Colorado for recalling two politicians who voted for gun control!

14. I was hoping for a link

where I could buy my spoof Gay AIDS Power Ring. Maybe something with a faux sharp tooth set into it?

It would have to be tastefully done in leather, of course.

I will post the link,,,,,,,

I tell you somebody is missing out on a Gold mine!
