Momma always told me that if you can't say anything nice about someone then don't say anything.

For Pat Robertson the best I can do is my sympathies to the family.

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.

You should really learn not to hate someone simply because you don't agree with them. It's a flaw I find in way too many people.

I called the Christian Broadcasting Network this morning and asked to speak with Rev. Pat Robertson. The woman who answered the phone told me that Rev. Robertson had died. I thanked her and hung up.

A few minutes later I called back and again asked to speak with Rev. Robertson. She said “Sir, I just told you that Rev. Robertson has died.” I again thanked her and hung up.

After a few more minutes I called again. The same woman answered the phone and said “Sir, I see it’s you calling again. And I’m telling you again that REV. ROBERTSON IS DEAD! What about he’s dead don’t you understand?” I replied “Oh, I understand completely. I just like hearing you say it.”

If Robertson hadn't brought politics into his religion, he might have had a more positive legacy.

He was a grifter taking money from poor old gullible people for YEARS before he got into REPUBLICAN politics.

I couldn't tell that he hated Robertson...Did it make sense to you that Robertson would run for president? How about when he told us that God sent Katrina to punish the gay people in New Orleans?

Religious conservatives claim Katrina was God's omen, punishment for the United States | Media Matters for America

Pat Robertson was a creep and a con man.Good Riddance

There is a signal being sent. Let's hope that the far right gets it.

This is awful (as is Middleview’s “like”).

You leftists are awful, malevolent people. I’m no particular fan of Pat Robertson, but I can’t think of a single person that would make this garbage ok.

I'll help you then - Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, Ted Cruz, Matt Gaetz.....

That’s not help - that’s an admission that your hyper-political existence has skewed and corrupted your value system entirely. Non-Democrat politicians comprises the venom list of the shriveled.

Cuz, ya know, politics and party are what is worshipped rather than God. There’s no Bundy, Gacy, or Dahmer on that list. No mass-butchering Commies or fascists like Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot, or Stalin. Murder, genocide…mere child’s play compared to…non-Democrat American politicians.

Pretty sad. Stuff like this manifests physically. Whatever.

I don't remember addressing you when I was talking about hating Robertson. Any particular reason you're being defensive?

I'm not being defensive. I used your mention of PBS and took a dig at Oklahoma governor Stitt. Don't take it personal.
