America "Deserved" 9/11! And Elect Rudy For President!

TPM Election Central:

In light of Pat Robertson's endorsement today of former NYC Mayor and Churchillian 9/11 hero Rudy Giuliani, it seems worth recalling that even as the smoke was still rising from the site a few days later, Robertson had this to say about the disaster in a TV appearance with Jerry Falwell:

"God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve," said Falwell, appearing yesterday on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club," hosted by Robertson.

"Jerry, that's my feeling," Robertson responded. "I think we've just seen the antechamber to terror. We haven't even begun to see what they can do to the major population."

Falwell said the American Civil Liberties Union has "got to take a lot of blame for this," again winning Robertson's agreement: "Well, yes."

Could it be that Righteous Robertson is fishing for the VP nod?

What about Brownback? Could he be sucking up to McCain for the same reason?

Both Rudy and McCain have little or no credibility among the so-called values voters. While slightly tempting for Rudy, choosing Robertson as a running mate would be political suicide. Either way, you can bet that a Giuliani White House will be crawling with more Regent University pukes like Monica Goodling.

Does this mean that patsy looses his tax exempt status for explicitly endorsing a candidate? Perhaps we should deluge the IRS to review it.

Did I read that correctly? Did that say that Falwell (THE Jerry Falwell?) was on the 700 Club YESTERDAY?

Umm... isn't he dead? Or is it a case that I have my (evangelical) nuts mixed?

Sorry folks, my one-year-old is teething and cranky and keeps me up most of the night. I must be confused.

And perhaps Mr. Robertson deserves to be taken out, publically mocked, and then waterboarded until he recants his allegedly 'Christain' views on the world.

Here is exactly what is wrong with the Fundamentalists everywhere - including America.

actually from the headline Pat is saying America deserves Rudy for all her sins LOL

If there was one thing Jesus Christ hated the most he hated hypocrites, you know, the Scribes and Pharisees. I guess nothing has changed these fools love to quote the Bible buy never can they practice what they preach.

From Pat's mouth to God's ear.....

Pat Robertson is a fucking traitor for implications like "America deserved 9/11!"

There is NO PLACE for organized criminal pseudo-religions in government with their shit-for-brains "Gimmee a dollar for Jesus" horseshit.

People like Robertson are hypocrites, false prophets and a vile sinners! Robertson deserves a rightful place in Hell kicking and flailing on top of a red hot pole for all eternity.

No wonder more and more Americans are turned off by religion. Fuckers like Pat Robertson and his foul drug-addled sodomizing ilk.

Wonder how much money Robo's (rhymes with Bozo) endorsement cost Rudy? Since Robo is in the church business, maybe Rudy can claim a tax deduction too? Perhaps Rudy's boy Bernie K brokered the deal?

For an alleged Xian, I don't think I've ever heard anything remotely Christlike come out of Pat Robertson's mouth. Andrew Sullivan is right. The man is a charlatan. He should only join his bud Falwell soon.

Just shoot me in the face.

God help us.

Why hasn't Robertson
been confined?

Another example of the right-wings
hypocrisy.

Those value issues, baby.
They're number one
right Pat?
Three wives, pro abotion,
no problem with gay marriage.

Hey, just keep cashing the checks.

Do we have an ETA for Jebus??

Trudy endorsed by Pat early onset Robertson shows just how desperate the neo-facists are for a might beat Hillary candidate.

[jbstonesfan]

Sadly the flock with follow Robertson and blindly vote for Rudy. I don't see how anyone we nominate can beat him now.

Folks, this isn't a nod from a Leader of American Christians, this is a nod from the same Yale Cabal that backs Clinton.

Just like they had Bush and Kerry in 2004, they want both horses in the Race to be theirs in 2008.

They both like to dress in drag on Halloween.
