The selling power of hate; Robertson's CBN 2005 revenue- $459.6 MILLION.

[Union Yes]

Pat Robertson has built himself quite a wealthy empire.
Robertson's Christian Broadcast Network/700 Club raked in $459 MILLION in 2005 preaching and selling hate.

His message.

Hatred of gays and the whole LGBT community. Chief architect behind the fear driven campaign against a so-called "gay agenda".

Misogyny. Fear of independent women. Anti-choice. Pro-barefoot and pregnant. Pro-women should be subservient to men. Pro-women should submit to their husband no matter what.

He's called for assassination of leftist world leaders and labor activists.

Robertson makes his millions bilking retired ladies out of their Social Security checks. It may be safe to say the Robertson is one of Social Securities worst plunderers.

Yet, Robertson hates Social Security and ALL government safety net programs.
Pat made his fortune partly from SS, yet hates SS. Bite the hand that feeds you Pat. Ironic, eh.

Imagine that. Hypocrisy from a conservative.

1. And mainstream Christian leaders still consider themselves

in phony Christian solidarity with the man.

This is costing them, you know. It's costing all Christians.

2. I don't think Robertson is a Christian

he is full of hatred

[Dappleganger]

6. His god is in his head.

Since he believes he's god's spokesman, a bit like a self-appointed pope.

I grew up listening to his garbage in VA Beach, most of us kids believed he was a big fake.

16. he is a fake

3. Wondering if CBN employees have abortion coverage in their health insurance package

[Union Yes]

4. I'm thinkin if Pat had his way, CBN wouldn't offer any benefits to their workers..

but yeah, you asked a very legit question. I wonder that too.

Peace

8. flim-flam man selling snake oil & God

he preys on people's faith and devotion...he's the lowest form of life

[Union Yes]

11. I agree. He preaches Parasitic Christianity. One of those guilty of hijacking that 'faith'. nt

9. Robertson is one of the worst, yes, but there are many "moderates" that work on the same principle.

ALL religions work in this way, some are just not as hateful and obvious as this one.
