Andy Borowitz Andy Borowitz VIRGINIA BEACH (The Borowitz Report) - Rev. Pat Robertson sparked controversy in today's broadcast of his 700 Club program when he claimed that God created the blizzard currently battering the Northeast "to punish Americans who were planning to drive to do something gay." Explaining his theory, Rev. Robertson said, "Because of the bad road conditions the Almighty has made, any gay activities that people were planning on doing will have to be postponed by a day or two." Additionally, he argued, God shut down major airports in the New York area "so that people who were hoping to fly to do something of a gay nature would have to take a train or a bus, so it might be days before the gay thing they were going to do could occur." As for the millions of straight people in New York City who were also grounded by the bad weather, the televangelist said, "I think God probably wonders, if these people are really straight, then what are they doing in New York?" In other blizzard-related news, the National Weather Service offered this update: "It's as white as a Glenn Beck rally out there." More here. The Los Angeles Times says Andy Borowitz has "one of the funniest Twitter feeds around." Follow Andy on Twitter here.

If true this ranks up there among his more insane pronouncements. I became convinced some time back that Rat Pobertson is a Mockingbird.

Tough women come from New York, sweet women from Texas, prissy women from Southern California, but we NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMEN have fire & ice in our blood. We can ride 4-wheelers, be a princess, throw a left hook, pack heat, hunt with the men, bake a cake, love with passion, and if we have an opinion, you know you're going to hear it!!

Here's a surprise for old Marion: Gays in most cities hardly need to drive to find an opportunity to "do something gay". In fact, in some neighborhoods in some cities, they seldom need to cross the street. But, when the weather is good, does that mean that God wants gays to "do something gay"?

Me either unless we go old school. Don't worry, be happy. My high school girls choir was practicing a song called "Come ye gay shepherds" The song said, come ye gay gay gay gay shepherds come be gay. Needless to say, being young girls, we could not sing it with a straight face and we never performed the piece.

Seems to me it would have been MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE if the snow fell only on the houses and cars of gay people and the rest of us had clear roads.

He may be a Jew, but did HE tell you he is gay? His wife and kids sure can't confirm that statement as true.

http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/religion_theseeker/2010/01/pat-robertson-blames-haiti-quake-on-pact-with-devil.html Pat Robertson Slams Bush On Liberia TV Evangelist Defends Liberian President Charles Taylor Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson accused President Bush of “undermining a Christian, Baptist president to bring in Muslim rebels” by asking Liberian President Charles Taylor, recently indicted for war crimes, to step down. “How dare the president of the United States say to the duly elected president of another country, 'You've got to step down,'" Robertson said Monday on “The 700 Club,” broadcast from his Christian Broadcasting Network. “It's one thing to say, we will give you money if you step down and we will give you troops if you step down, but just to order him to step down? He doesn't work for us.” http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/07/11/national/main562915.shtml Pat Robertson makes his money the same way Osama Bin Laden does, through blood diamonds and oil. He also has hindered relief operations in Rwanda and from FEMA. Hanging is too good for this scum. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7464342 Years ago Pat Robertson, noted televangelist and head of the 700 Club, made a pact with Satan. In exchange for a tediously long life and untold material wealth, Robertson agreed to serve as spokesman for the Devil. If you are reading this blog, I imagine that you are familiar with my work on the subject. Chapter Fifteen in Volume 2 of Sinister Forces deals specifically with Robertson and his unashamed support for mass murderers such as Taylor of Liberia, Chiluba of Zambia, and Mobutu of Zaire, as well as death squads in Central America. His support was camouflaged by something called Operation Blessing, which was really a conduit for conflict diamonds and not for medical supplies for the desperate people of Africa (in this case, Rwanda and Zaire). Of course, you don't have to take my word for it. My research was based on published reports in Time magazine as well as excellent historical reporting by Sara Diamond in a series of books on the political movement associated with evangelical Christianity. http://sinisterforces.info/blog/index.php?/archives/46-Pat-Robertsons-Pact-with-the-Devil.html http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149408/quotes Prosecutor: Pat Robertson Had Gold Deal with African Dictator Prosecutors in Human Rights Trial Allege Pat Robertson Lobbied George Bush on Behalf of Liberian Warlord Charles Taylor http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/pat-robertsons-gold-deal-african-dictator/story?id=9749341 “Reverend” Pat Robertson, A Criminal, Terrorist! http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/articles/paul-adujie/reverend-pat-robertson-a-criminal-terrorist.html

And we are told to beware of false teachers. Now off to watch your videos.
This one shows how fucked up Robertson's views really are when truly matched against Scripture, this entire belief is a false teaching;

I had a pastor say once that Satan won't hand you a three dollar bill because you'll spot it as false.

Satan works incrementally. If someone works with him long enough they will gladly accept that 3 dollar bill.

GOD HATES FAGS!!! - Pat Robertson. Way to go Pat. God hates Fags. How nice. Now about all those people who died in the blizzard who weren't gay. Did God need them to come to heaven? I'm sure he did, but why wouldn't he take YOU instead? That's right. He thinks you're a douche Pat, that's why, and when your day of judgment comes, you'll be wondering what the funny smell of sulfur and brimstone is about.
