I think Pat Robertson is a honest, decent man, not all concerned about temporal power or social and political manipulation. I think he really is talking to God. It's just that God is really, really screwing with him.
Whenever that omnipotent scamp gets bored, he heads over to the Robertson-a-tron and yanks poor Pat's chain. He's the new Job.

Just this:
quote:VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would result in "mass killing" late in 2007.
"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network. "The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."

One day he's going to be right on something (spin that roulette wheel enough and your number will come up) and it's going to be all over what a nostrodamus he is. *sigh*

Pat Robertson is just one in a series of reasons why I believe that any God that happens to exist has a really good sense of humor. Because if he didn't, ol' Pat would have been on the receiving end of a lightning bolt long, long ago.

You know what's chilling--self fulfilling prophesy.
"And I say again, there shall fall upon the country of America a great and shattering explosion, just as soon as those Pakistani's show up with my Plutonium...I mean some time near the end of 2007"
If a nuclear device does go off near the end of 2007, Pat will be high on the list of suspects. After all, being proven right will give him a very strong motive. Opportunity--I believe he can find some religous fanatics to do what he wants.
Ahh, but is he evil enough to nuke his own country for personal gain in the name of the Lord?
Last weekend there ran a History Channel special on "THe Anti-Christ". How will he be known? He'll be an eccliastic that offers false prophesies.

Why is this NEWS COVERED ON THE AP??? This is not journalism. This is insanity. I understand that they print this practically tongue in cheek, but LOOK
This is just validating this pathetic moron's lifelong con. It's so sad it's no longer funny. This man is what's wrong, on at least one level, with this world.

That's why you cut this garbage off right at the knees. STOP covering this moron and his stupid prophecies never get beyond the dupes who watch his show and actually give him money.

On the other hand, maybe it's good the media covered it. Not many people are going to take him seriously and perhaps next time he will think before speaks the will of God. I think a lot of people are saying the same thing as jatraqueros.
