Pat Robertson Does It Again: He Hopes Gay People and Muslims ‘Kill Themselves’

Pat Robertson Does It Again: He Hopes Gay People and Muslims ‘Kill Themselves’

"SNIP.............



wouldn’t be an official human disaster without Pat Robertson saying something heartless about its genesis in behavior that he does not approve of. Who can forget the on-air colloquy between Robertson and the late Jerry Falwell in which the two great religious leaders agreed that 9/11 was likely the product of God’s wrath at America for allowing abortion and homosexuality?

And so this came as no great surprise (via Right Wing Watch):


Today on “The 700 Club,” televangelist Pat Robertson reacted to the massacre at an Orlando gay club by making the absurd claim that liberal LGBT rights advocates have aligned themselves with radical Islamists and are now reaping what they have sowed.

Robertson said that liberals are facing a “dilemma” because they love both LGBT equality and Islamic extremism, and that it is better for conservatives like himself not to get involved but to instead just watch the two groups kill each other.

“The left is having a dilemma of major proportions and I think for those of us who disagree with some of their policies, the best thing to do is to sit on the sidelines and let them kill themselves,” he said.

I know other like idiots who are usually educated, but somehow without a single shred of decency or humanity...they usually speak with no ability to control what comes out of their stupid mouthes...

I read him that way after I vetted the idea that perhaps he is the anti-christ...he is far too stupid and irrelevant to be the anti-christ...just a garden variety hypocrite monster like all of the other unnecessary old bastards solving the worlds problems daily at the local diner....

Come to think of it heartless is a good description...
