Robertson: If Bush 'touches' Jerusalem, we'll form 3rd party

By Daphna Berman, Haaretz correspondent, and agencies

Influential American evangelist Pat Robertson said Monday that Evangelical Christians feel so deeply about Jerusalem, that if President George W. Bush were to "touch" Jerusalem, Evangelicals would abandon their traditional Republican leanings and form a third party.


Evangelical Christians - estimated at tens of millions of Americans -
overwhelmingly support Bush for his pro-Israel policies, Robertson told a Jerusalem news conference Monday.

In two Jerusalem appearances, Robertson Sunday praised Israel as part of God's plan and criticized Arab countries and some Muslims, saying their hopes to include Israeli-controlled land in a Palestinian state are part of "Satan's plan."

1. it is a taboo subject everywhere

i get very frustrated about it, and would like to understand more of the seeds of this conflict. i always think the gaza strip could and should simply not be inhabited by anyone.

2. The question is: Why is Pat Robertson

threatening to form a 3rd party at this juncture? Especially when you combine this with his remarks on CNN yesterday. Creating doubt about bush in fundy minds? Strange...

3. I hate Pat, but love the 700 Club

That dude is a total wasteoid - i watch his show for shock value. It is hard to tell which is more ludicrous, the 'news' or pat's commentary on it...

Best example: when discussing the French headscarf ban, Pat refers to the impact this will have on "the little beanie things" Jews wear... C'mon Pat - you know its called a yarmulke.... What an asshole.
