Pat Robertson threatens retaliation against conservative senators who oppo
http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=19453

On today’s “700 Club” broadcast, the Rev. Pat Robertson responded to criticism from the Right regarding the Miers nomination and also offered a stern warning to those conservative senators who might be thinking of voting against her. Rev. Robertson suggested that people should look at who is supporting Miers before they doubt her conservative credentials. He named James Dobson, the Rev. Jerry Falwell, Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, Jay Sekulow of the Robertson-founded American Center for Law and Justice, and himself as proof of support for Miers’ nomination from the Right. Robertson concluded by noting: “These so-called movement conservatives don’t have much of a following, the ones that I’m aware of. And you just marvel, these are the senators, some of them who voted to confirm the general counsel of the ACLU to the Supreme Court, and she was voted in almost unanimously. And you say, ‘now they’re going to turn against a Christian who is a conservative picked by a conservative President and they’re going to vote against her for confirmation?’ Not on your sweet life, if they want to stay in office.”

Separation of church and state, Robertson. Watch where you step.

5. With this list of names, who wouldnt support Miers' credibility?

14. Poor Pat. Reduced to extortion.
Character assassination, lies, suppporting dictatorships that cut him a piece of the gold pie, dodging combat in Korea, and out and out blasphemy weren't enough?

I feel so awful for ya Patsie.... :sarcasm:

15. If Congress really wanted to weaken the far right Christian choke-hold
on them they need to vote against these threats and let the chips fall where they may. The time is ripe and right now while most of America is fed up with the lying, cheating, deceiving, greedy Republicans.

17. not again....
This asshole is the biggest joke I've ever seen, he's alway whining and bitching about something like a little baby every time you turn around. I don't think I've ever seen anyone like Robertson, who has absolute no sense of shame what so ever. He really needs to stop living in his little fucked up fantasyland, and get checked into a Mental Hospital, because he is obviously not fit for society, and is a danger to everyone in it.
