(Pat) Robertson predicts 'mass killing'

[Starbucks Anarchist]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070102/ap_on_re_us/robertson_prediction

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson predicted Tuesday 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."

Robertson said God told him during a recent prayer retreat that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.

Robertson said God also told him that the U.S. only feigns friendship with
Israel and that U.S. policies are pushing Israel toward "national suicide."

[DoYouEverWonder]

1. Maybe the FBI should be notified

and pay Mr. Robertson a visit, since it seems like he has some inside knowledge of a possible future attack?

[Benhurst]

18. Yeah, this "lord" fellow he talks about sounds like a terrorist. NT

[saigon68]

43. Like the Chimpanzee "God tells him things"

[LiberalFighter]

53. Did god tell him about 9/11?

Did god tell him about Oklahoma and Timothy McVeigh?

Did god tell him about Foley?

[Fire Walk With Me]

60. He sort of missed 9/11, but did say that God blames it upon gays, the ACLU, etc.

Considering that Robertson's financial interests in African diamonds assists in many deaths...

[tbyg52]

61. You want to actually look at his record?

For shame! Have you no piety? :rofl:

[LiberalFighter]

75. But.. but.. but.. he's speaking for god!!!!!!!!!

[mainer]

81. Isn't there a law against yelling "Fire!"?

[varkam]

2. Coming out with a new line of diet shakes, is he? eom

[and-justice-for-all]

3. G-d told him??? What a quack!!

More like his delusional self told him...

[mike_c]

4. do they have rubber isolation rooms in hell...

...or will this nutball have to poison the lives of us regular sinners for eternity?

[muntrv]

5. "U.S. policies are pushing Israel toward national suicide?" I thought

that's what Pat Robertson wants, since he is pro-end-of-days.

[MadMaddie]

6. So isn't this a form of religious terrorism..? Just askin...

intentionally inciting terroristic fear and angst in the population.....those on the left have been investigated for far less than this utterance from this zeolot....

[Webster Green]

7. What a screwball

Amazing that anyone buys his crap

[customerserviceguy]

79. What's amazing

is that anyone outside of the National Enquirer wing of the media would even bother to repeat this lunatic's rantings. Let the brain-dead idiots who send him money be the only ones to concern themselves with his blatherings.

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. I'm so scared I can't write my monthly donation check, Pat.

My hand is too shaky to stay on the checkbook.

Lord, what'll I do????????????????????

[jedr]

9. Hope he's on ground zero! N/T

[grytpype]

10. He also said George W. Bush had the mandate of heaven.

This guy is as nuts as anyone.

And he still thought the Iraq war would be a disaster.

[durtee librul]

11. Oh lordy

another one who hears God talking to him....was he on his knees like * thanking god for 'talking' to him when this 'revelation' came to him? Just wondering...too bad his 'god' didn't give him a date so we could all go to home depot for plastic and duct tape.

[Joe for Clark]

12. That man is a poster boy for what Christ said to look out for.

He better remember that "false profit thing" - real quick.

What is it in the gospels - "you can tell the tree by the fruit it bares" - like that - there are many here that can correct this to be more specific and I hope you do - I was never that good at CCD.

But I know a BS artist when I see one.

Joe

[mconvente]

31. You know, I gotta think

I wonder how many so-called former evangelist leaders are in hell right now (assuming you believe in that). I mean, seriously, this whole false prophet, anti-Christ thing totally fits all these hypocrites...

[Joe for Clark]

32. That is right.

You'd think they'd know better - guess not.

Joe

[NoodleyAppendage]

13. Robertson = best spokesperson for atheism.

Every time this dumbass opens his mouth a new atheist is formed.

Rampant fundy stupidity...couldn't ask for better PR for atheistic rationalism.

J

[IndianaGreen]

17. and a fine candidate for psychoterapy

Sadly, millions of our compatriots believe every word he says.

[Auntie Bush]

34. Bush is to Bin Laden as Roberts is to Atheists

Equal opportunity recruiters!

[originalpckelly]

44. Or agnosticism! Can't forget that...

some of us recognize the possibility of God, we just don't believe that the crap Roberson spews is real.

[Dervill Crow]

85. Paganism, too. n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. I heard he squeezed his eyes so tight he crapped his pants.

Pat, just go away..............far away, and take fatty Falwell with ya.

[4nic8em]

15. Message to Pat...

Who the F* do you think has been doing the mass killing in Iraq the past 4 years? It sure as hell hasn't been Jesus. When you can pull yourself away from the Bible, try researching the number of civilian casualties in Iraq, then ask God if he appreciates America's soul contribution to heaven.

[liberal N proud]

16. Is he sending a signal to begin the attack?

Maybe he knows more than he lets on.

[Joe Bacon]

19. And this SAME idiot believes all but 144,000 Jews will die

Paranoid Pat has repeatedly preached the same shit that John Hagee has--that ALL of the Jews must return to Israel. After they do, all but 144,000 male virgins will be slaughtered at Armageddon. The 144,000 male virgins will then convert to Christianity.

Since this Orthodox Jew is NOT a virgin, he has no desire to do what these psychotic Christians wish.

[qazplm]

30. there are 144,000 male virgins left?

vbg

[MnFats]

59. you've got the basis for a great comic movie!!

"The 144,000 Male 40-Year-Old Virgins!"
or something like that...

[Joe Bacon]

70. It's not funny!

Hagee, Robertson Falwell, Crouch, Hinn and their ilk want to finish what Hitler started. Period.

They have to be stoped.

[Divine Discontent]

55. lol.. funny stuff

I cannot believeeeeeeeeeee the people that swallow his poopy-drivel!

20. I too had

a revelation conveyed to me by God. He told me that in no uncertain terms, Pat Robertson was and still is full of shit. Amen

[peace13]

24. Thanks for the laugh! n/t

[jaxx]

21. This guy is certifiable.

Why does he still get airtime after the crap he's said?

[Telly Savalas]

22. So the Cubans are finally going to launch those nuclear missiles at us?

[xxqqqzme]

23. When we lived in West Virginia,

a couple who owned the local hardware store - tithed 20% of their store's profits to robertson, the wife proudly told me one day. We stopped going there for farm stuff. It was a bit longer drive to go elsewhere but at least I knew we weren't supporting lunacy.

[VegasWolf]

25. "The Lord didn't say nuclear" No you fucking asshole, the Lord said nu-ke-lu-ar. Dumb fuck. nt

[Lone_Star_Dem]

26. You know if he took his meds he wouldn't still be hearing those voices in his head

I'm just sayin'... :shrug:

27. Haha this is great!!

Wow, just wow... hahaha

:popcorn:

[struggle4progress]

28. God Tells Pat Robertson (Americans United / 2005)

.. Robertson claims that he has an annual one-on-one conversation with G-d, during which the Almighty gives the Virginia televangelist a run-down on what to expect in the new year ..\

G-d reportedly said Bush will “also have Social Security reform passed, that he’ll have tax reform passed, .. and that basically he is positioned for a series of dramatic victories, which I hope will hearten him and his advisors ..

Robertson did not mention that his yearly Jan. 1 sit-down with the Lord often results in incorrect information. On Jan. 1, 1980, Robertson reported that G-d had told him that the Soviet Union would in that year invade several Middle Eastern nations, seize the world’s oil reserves and throw the United States and Western Europe into economic chaos, sparking worldwide conflict ..

36. I remember that USSR "sermon".

"Tell the tree by the fruit it bares" - a good thing to remember from Christ, I think.

Bastard should be stoned. Or the 21st century equivilant - audited by the IRS.

Revoke the NP status - he'll wish he'd been stoned - so to speak.

[VegasWolf]

29. Hey Robertson, God is batting 0 for 3! You might want to switch channels on your

little pee head thingy or increase your meds.

[truthisfreedom]

33. Hmm. Well, Pat, with a little waterboarding maybe you could also provide us with names, locations,

and dates of these terror events?

[tanyev]

35. Pat just cast a no-confidence vote in Georgie's terror-fightin' strategeries.

[TlalocW]

37. The Lord is constantly messing around with Pat

I'm kind of surprised that Pat keeps getting fooled the way he does. I guess gullibility doesn't go away with age. Personally, I would be asking God to swear to Himself on a stack of Bibles everytime he told me something fantastic like this - especially after that whole, "God said I'm going to be president" lie that Pat fell for back in 1988.

That God... What a scamp.

TlalocW

[Mz Pip]

38. Who gives a flying

f*ck what that dingbat is predicting? God talks to him. Right. Of all the people in the world that God chooses to speak to He picks a wacko moron. That's real credible. :eyes:

39. The sheep have given this clown more money than any other sheep handler, including Teddy boy fucker!

[screenplaya]

40. Why does CNN.com put this story on their front page?!? n/t

[Theres-a]

41. Complicity. nt

[4nic8em]

42. Let me guess...

Because the Almighty wills it so?

[Joe Bacon]

71. NO, because Wolf Blitzer has always been Pat's puppet

Robertson groomed Wolf the Right Wing Whore. Recruited him via the 700 Club. Makes sure Wolf the Whore dishes out GOP bullshit 24/7

[originalpckelly]

45. Why do people listen to this man? If someone walked up to you...

and said they heard the voice of God, I think most of us would look for a cop and tell them to go help the person hearing voices on the street corner. He gets money. Even when he's wrong.

[RiverStone]

46. More crazy Pat predictions:

This is from a couple of years ago...yet Pat is just as much a nut case now as he was then. BTW, I predict Pat will still be running minus a few spark plugs in the future! Betya that will come true :)

* * * *

On the 700 Club broadcast, Robertson touted his 2004 New Year's prediction that President George W. Bush would win re-election by "a blowout" as an example of a past prediction that turned out to be correct. On January 2, 2004, Robertson stated: "I think George Bush is going to win in a walk. I really believe I'm hearing from the Lord it's going to be like a blowout election in 2004. It's shaping up that way." As Media Matters for America has noted, Bush's margin of victory was the smallest for a reelected incumbent president since Woodrow Wilson in 1916.

Other Robertson predictions have fared less well. According to a February 15, 1988, Washington Post article, Robertson said, "I heard the Lord saying 'I have something else for you to do. I want you to run for president of the United States.'" The same article noted that during one campaign stop during the 1988 presidential race, Robertson stated: "This is where God wanted me to be. ... Here I am in New Hampshire, before a major primary." He then said, "I assure you that I am going to be the next president of the United States," according to a February 15 Washington Post article. After trailing George H.W. Bush and Senator Bob Dole in the Republican primaries, Robertson's 1988 presidential campaign ended before the Republican convention. A February 2004 article in Church & State magazine (published by Americans United for Separation of Church and State) noted several Robertson predictions that turned out to be false, including that Russia would invade Israel in 1982, and that there would be a worldwide economic collapse in 1985. The article went on to mention that "In his 1991 book, The New World Order, Robertson predicted that U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller would be elected president in 1996."

Oh I'd love to see Pat INHALE :evilgrin:

Soft walls too. Three squares a day. The staff wants to talk with God too. You can introduce them.

Why won't they take Robberson away?

57. Robertson is in fundraising mode again. He does this stuff to get ratings...

What a goddamn genius...

58. This guy is more like "The Amazing Criswell" all the time...

....if you don't know who that is: a novelty act that used to appear on Johnny Carson with ridiculous predictions....also had a role in "Plan Nine From OUter Space."

62. christian loonies hear this

and get themselves worked up to carry out god's word for pat.

80. Don't worry. I think his followers are in their 70's.

Of course to worry about this stuff might be bad for their hearts and blood pressure,

[Gman]

63. Pat's hearing those voices again

he's off his meds. He tends to go off his meds every year around the holidays.

[RebelOne]

64. Even the fanatics at RaptureReady.com

[leftyladyfrommo]

68. Whoa. I just read this in our paper this morning and put in GD.

I think Pat Robertson is really on the way down. Hopefully no one will take this stuff seriously. We will be able to tell who is Evangelical by who is out in their backyard building a bomb shelter.

[Zenlitened]

82. Wow! When even the Rapture-Randy... er, Ready... think he's a jackass....

... that's got to speak VOLUMES! :wow:

66. God reveals Liberty University to become Wal Mart

God often speaks to me when I drink too much tequila. On New Years Eve while I was praying to God to not make me be too hungover the next day he revealed that Pat Robertson's Liberty University would be torn down in 2007 and replaced with a Wal Mart. God also revealed to me a sure fire cure for hangovers and where Jimmy Hoffa is buried but I am sworn to secrecy about that.

[Vinca]

67. Hey Pat, God told me you ought to be locked up in a rubber room

and the key should be thrown away.

[Javaman]

73. I so glad that god pays attention to our calander...

God: Roberts, I have been thinking it over and well you know it's the end of the year so I thought it time for some new years predictions...

roberts: golly gee God, that's really swell of you.

God: I just feel so bad that the ones I gave you last year didn't pan out...

roberts: oh everyone makes mistakes now and then...

God: you are a good human robert, anywho here it goes...

roberts: let me get a pad and pen...

God: 1)all Pandas in China will rise up and revolt against the commies...

roberts: ummm...okay...

God: 2)It will be found that ice cream contains a secret ingredient to promote ESP...

roberts: wha...ah hmmm, okay...

God: 3) lastly, some really big something is going to go kablooie someplace at sometime that will cause lots and lots of people to...DIE!

roberts: oh I like that one!

God(blushes): Gee thanks, I came up with that last one when I was on the toilet...

roberts: TMI!!!!

[a la izquierda]

74. God also apparently told him...

that Bush would have victory after victory in 2005, in medicare and social security reform. That's gone really well for Georgie, hasn't it?

[oneinok]

76. His ratings must be slipping

Pat and Rush have alot in common. They will say anything to increase their ratings.

[superconnected]

77. God also speaks to the preznut. Only he tells him to go out and commit

the acts.

Who do you think is saner?

[BluePatriot]

78. Fear, fear, fear, terror, terror, terror,

...remind me of who is terrorizing who, again?

[daleo]

83. Did he talk to the 900 foot Jesus again?

And did said Jesus want people to send Pat money?

[raccoon]

84. I wish the corporate media wouldn't report what this moran (sic) says.

His predictive abilities are no better than anyone else's. Probably not as good as most.

[bamacrat]

86. Somebody wants people to think hes a prophet.

Oh wait that would require him having faith in anything but the money people send in tho his "cause"

[CreekDog]

87. Will it happen before or after the end times he predicted years ago?

If anything, the fact that Robertson predicted it probably lessens the likelihood that it will happen.

Take comfort in that.

Also, if he is the prophet he claims to be (in the biblical sense), then his predictions must be 100% correct. Oops, guess he's not.

Finally, Robertson teaches "The Rapture" which features both a 2nd and 3rd coming. The 2nd to take the Christians away and the 3rd to gather the rest. He says the bible says this, which makes me question his ability to read.

Bah, can't stand the guy.

[Show_Me _The_Truth]

88. Newsflash--Pat Robertson is a Jackass

False prophet is the nicest thing any true Christian should call that guy and others like him.

[CreekDog]

89. Jackasses are offended by the association ;o)

[Tellurian]

90. Must be the same GOD that told Bush to BOMB IRAQ!

The Holy Trinity! Haliburton, Bechel and Carlyle...

[doublethink]

91. His publicist probably told him he's been out of the news lately ......

so he should come up with something really stupid again ..... the guy is a quack. A real loon. :freak:
