Televangelist and mogul Pat Robertson — a man whose name is practically synonymous with the Religious Right — likely took 700 Club viewers by surprise today when he opined that the Republican base is losing support by “pushing” what he described as “an extreme position.”

Robertson expressed worry that Republican front runners are going to alienate voters during the general election by catering to a narrow base:

1. Pat, if the foo shits

I mean, really, he has the audacity to say this?

[Kennah]

2. GOP: Too Crazy For Pat Robertson

Now that's a bumpersticker.

[Contrary1]

4. ++1

:thumbsup:

[workinclasszero]

15. I like it! /nt

[madokie]

26. So right on

I'm laughing my ass off at that bigoted bastard who hasn't seen a dollar he didn't like in all his years.

[TheDebbieDee]

3. Isn't this the same phuckwad that said 9/11 happened because

of gays, lesbians and abortions?

[JVS]

12. Evidently that's become a moderate position among the GOP.

[SomethingFishy]

17. Also said last month that husbands

should divorce wives with Alzheimer's. Showing off his family values.

[RKP5637]

5. GOP has its mask off and people are realizing the GOP is extremely ugly, a party

of extremists that have a pretty strange grip on reality.

[occupyeverywhere]

9. Yup, after all these years they are finally getting some pushback

and they are shittin' bricks.

[RegieRocker]

6. No not at all and they should continue what they are doing

and become more extreme.

[RandomKoolzip]

7. He's probably noted that donations to his church have decreased..

Since no one has any discretionary income anymore because of extremist GOP policies. This most likely has nothing to do with being reasonable.

[RC]

22. You are most likely correct in that assumption.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Now that makes three

Deffinitely we got a trend.

[occupyeverywhere]

10. Pat, you reap what you sow.

[formercia]

14. Robertson has been sowing that hatred for over a Generation

...and now he complains when it goes sideways.

What a fucktard.

[Historic NY]

11. Too nuts for the nuts........wow...reep what you sow Schmuck .

[TheKentuckian]

13. Now, that thar is funny

I don't care who ya are.

[stevedeshazer]

16. Down the rabbit hole.

[Initech]

18. If Pat Robertson thinks the machine he helped create is too crazy for him...

Wouldn't that cause the machine to implode from the inside? One can only hope. :popcorn:

[madinmaryland]

19. Pot meets the Kettle!! Too funny!!

:rofl:

[bluestate10]

20. Robertson is afraid that future contributors to his rich life running a mega church

will start following some other wacho and cause Robertson to go Jim Bakker broke. Robertson has to support the woman that he wants to divorce his ill wife to marry.

[lovuian]

21. their extreme right position is No social Security No Medicare

No healthcare No jobs No education No government

but lower taxes for the rich with no federal regulations

[bengalherder]

23. Maybe he's not in with the whacko dominionists

who seem to be running all over the place right now.

He seems worried. Maybe they will out-crazy him and take all the lovely diabolic money and power that he has so slavishly built since the Reagan years for themselves.

[City Lights]

24. Pot, meet Kettle. eom

[JoeyT]

25. Robertson is worried their extremism on taxes and social programs are

going to keep them from getting elected. Which will keep them from doing the really important work, like oppressing women and gay people.

Zappa pretty well had him pegged.

[OnionPatch]

27. Well, I think anarchy is a little extreme, yes.

And that's what the GOP seems to want....no government except the kind that blows up foreigners and inspects domestic uteri. Everything else should be "free" to devolve into a dog-eat-dog free-fight.

[opihimoimoi]

28. Pat R is a clone of Jimm Bakker and Tammy Faye

Scammers with Crosses both

[Blue Owl]

29. Uh, Pat -- you're on the sharp end of that extremism

in case you hadn't heard.....

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[LynneSin]

30. How Ape-shit crazy do you have to be to have even Pat Robertson not want to side with you

:crazy:

[IcyPeas]

31. I'm waiting for the apology in.... 3 - 2 - 1
