Pat Robertson Prays For Obama's Removal, Asks God To 'Deliver Us From This President'
Source: People for the American Way
Pat Robertson today asked God to "deliver" the US from President Obama before it's too late. After implying that Obama is a Muslim, Robertson told 700 Club viewers: "We need to do something to pray to be delivered from this president. He is a disaster, an absolute disaster. Democrat, Republican or whatever, this country is into serious decline unless something dramatic is done about it."
Such sentiments are nothing new from the right-wing televangelist. Robertson has previously suggested that Obama is a "crypto-Muslim" and once during George W. Bush's presidency prayed for God to remove justices from the Supreme Court.
While promoting a Christian Broadcasting Network booklet, Islam: Religion of Peace or War?, Robertson suggested Obama professed faith in Islam during a 2012 address to the UN General Assembly where he said that the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. In fact, Obama's speech focused on protecting the freedom of speech and religion, and Robertson conveniently omits the president's next line: To be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied.
Our president is frankly out of his mind, making a statement like that. The future belongs to those who belong to God almighty, not those who believe in this stuff.

The old "Obama is a muslim" canard - apparently, two-time Republican National Convention keynote speaker Robertson missed out on that who "thou shalt not bear false witness" part of the Bible.

(25 posts)The Most Reverend Robertson is widely acknowledged among us cognoscenti, or we cognoscenti (as many say), as having been the inspiration for the character of the patriarch Abraham Simpson on the long-running series "The Simpsons" - true story. And I think it's pretty obvious.

At least he's keeping his hatred and bigotry out in the open. I'd rather be able to know who is a bigot, than find out after you've given them the benefit of the doubt. More racists and bigots should wear their ugliness on their sleeves.

(6,587 posts)It used to be that the word Christian and church meant something good. It is people like Robertson that is changing the meaning of the word Christian along with the church and religion to a negative meaning. Anymore it is thought of more as a right-wing political organization rather than what it used to be.
These people tarnish everything they touch. I realize that there are still good churches that do still stay away from politics and preach as they are supposed to and used to do but so many have gone political.

(1,180 posts)with Robertson, the Country is in decline. He just is praying for the wrong people to be removed. It's because of HIM and his Repug friends in Congress and on the SCOTUS doing everything possible to move this country to the fascist state they crave, that we are in decline.
