Update: Rudy Claims Robertson Has "Explained" 9/11 Comments

TPM Election Central:

As noted below, Rudy has now defended accepting Pat Robertson's endorsement by saying that Robertson "explained" his agreement with Jerry Falwell that America "deserved" to be attacked on 9/11.

But what, exactly, was Robertson's "explanation"? Did Robertson really explain anything, as Rudy claimed?

The press release Robertson put out in September of 2001 explaining the comment is here.

Explaination: As of December 2000, God declared the American Century over and turned His back on that chosen land. Hence, He sent G.W.Bush to the White House, smashed the World Trade Center, drowned New Orleans, let the NY Yankees lose in the World Series, set the Middle East aflame and the price of oil through the roof, and finally paired up crazy Pat and Rudolf as the new odd couple.

Let’s not be too hard on old Pat!

He, like sooooo many other "merchant preachers", is only doing what a man in his position is required to do; once again he will endorse or align himself with someone or something that is totally against Scripture only to satisfy his worldly needs and wants; thereby keeping the dollars flowing!

And beleive me, just like anyone else who follows a "religion", as long as the dollars are flowing, he will find a way to explain away his drinking from both cups!

"We have killed over 40 million unborn babies in America. I was reading, yesterday, a book that was very interesting about what God has to say in the Old Testament about those who shed innocent blood. And he used the term that those who do this, "the land will vomit you out." That -- you look at your -- you look at the book of Leviticus and see what it says there."

OH GIVE ME A BREAK!

George Carlin: "The longer you listen to this abortion debate, the more you hear the phrase "sanctity of life," "sanctity of life." You believe in it? Personally, I think it's a bunch of shit. I mean, life is sacred? Who said so? God? Hey, if you read history, you realize that God is one of the leading causes of death."

THAT SAYS IT ALL! Robertson, Rudy & those who agree with them make ME puke!

Get us THE HELL OUT of Iraq! HAVEN'T WE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE?!

We've DESTROYED
their LAND...
their LIVELIHOODS...
their LIFESTYLES...
their LIVES!!!...
their "LIBERATION" (ha, ha, ha)

Americans...WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFINS! Vote your CONSCIENCE! Vote DEMOCRATIC!

Stay safe, healthy and happy,
Love, Loretta

There is a curious thing happening to Guiliani's campaign which is: The more Guiliani speaks, the less desirable he becomes.

When asked in nationwide polls, people in general have a favorable impression of Guiliani and he polls higher than his GOP opponents. Yet when one looks closely at polls in states where he is actively campaigning, his numbers fall - dramatically in some cases.

He may ask his campaign staff, "Why is that?", but I already know the answer...

Pat's Explanation: And low the clouds parted and God spoke unto me saying, 'I created 9/11 to test the champions of the rich and priveledged. You, Pat, are my prophet. Go verily and baptize Rudy and forgive his sins; and to annoint a new leader of the Kingdom of God'.

Explained? Oh, right.

We were attacked, but it was the fault of gays and abortion. That's what the fucking idiot said when people were trying to take in the horrible event of 9/11.

This is a man of god? Shit no, this is a man who is senile, and is power mad. If there's a hell, this sanctimonious bastard will roast right next to Hitler, who got off on murdering people because of their heritage.

Jules will regret this endorsement.

Robertson is INSANE as are all the christian extremists.
He asks for money because he has a direct line to god.

Rude-ee believes America deserved the 911 attacks, or else he wouldn't have been part of the government teams that committed these atrocities in the first place....
