Hollywood – Pat Robertson on Sunday said that Hurricane Katrina was God’s way of expressing its anger at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its selection of Ellen Degeneres to host this year’s Emmy Awards. “By choosing an avowed lesbian for this national event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God’s wrath,” Robertson said on “The 700 Club” on Sunday. “Is it any surprise that the Almighty chose to strike at Miss Degeneres’ hometown?”

2. That mofro is clearly batshit crazy...

..why in the world ANYONE would listen to a word this moran says is beyond me....

[geomon666]

3. Fake

But it sure sounds real doesn't it.

7. I've heard some "batshit crazy" stuff...

...on the 700 Club so I almost thought that this was real--also because it was posted in GD instead of in the Lounge.

11. It's forgivable, I took it as real the first time I read it too.

But one look at the home page is really all you need to see that it's a fake. A damn good one though. :)

17. After Jerry Falwell...

...started mouthing off about Tinky Winky it became more and more difficult to distinguish between parody and reality with these guys.

4. That article is a piece of satire.

Here's the Snopes page debunking it:

With Robertson, it's just hard to tell satire from reality.

10. yet its not obvious until the last line because

Idiot Son's friend Robertson is such a fucking NUTCASE

[eallen]

21. I was fooled, even after the last line. As you say, Robertson is batshit.

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. Hope Ellen uses that remark for some of her stand-up comedy

Am sure she could be quite creative with this

on edit: Thanks for sharing the Snopes link. :hi:

6. I hope that when he meets his maker, his maker slaps him one.

Edit: (Even though I see this particular tidbit has been debunked, I stand by my request on general principle).

8. all media now should refer to him as 'radical cleric pat Robertson'

is as crazy as the most militant muslim terrorist, fanatical jew or, hell, the manson family.

'radical cleric pat robertson'

pass it on...

[Supersedeas]

20. the corporate media is not likely to do that to one of their own

[smoogatz]

9. What a loon.

On edit:

Great piece of satire--had me fooled.

[skypilot]

12. It's a parody site.

Go to the Homepage and check out what they say about Sean Penn.

13. This guy is the leader of the Christian Coalition. This is the heart and

soul of the Republican party. This country is totally fucked up.

[drbtg1]

14. I thought this was God's response for electing fools that keep...

fucking up his/her planet. That's why red states were hit ;)

15. this national event

The Emmy's must mean a lot to this whacko! If there is a god, I am sure that she has more things to worry about than who hosts the Emmys. Who has his e-mail? I want to write and ask him why he is so obsessed with the Emmys.

[NYCGirl]

16. Before you write — IT'S A JOKE! A parody site!

It's bogus!

[Child_Of_Isis]

25. oh! lol

:blush: But it sounds so like him.

[WI_DEM]

18. I hope that Ellen gives it to him on Sunday night

22. The men in the white suits need to pay a visit to "The 700 Club".......

and escort Pat Robertson to a nice padded room where he can talk to the walls.

[warrens]

23. I was waiting for an Onion link

This guy needs to be put down like the mad dog he is.

[NYCGirl]

24. It's satire. The site is a parody site like The Onion. NT
