Pat Robertson Predicts 'Mass Killing'

It was a MASSAGE, not a mass-killing.

you said it mon... nobody *&^$s with the jesus...

we should tell all the people that wear WWJD wristbands and follow that guy to do what jesus did, and crucify themselves.

Does anyone have Pat's phone number?

Maybe God told him where my car keys are...

Don't most scientists agree with the information presented by Al Gore?

I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not... but I never saw that "Inconvenient Truth" because I saw Al Gore on The Daily Show saying "All scientists agree, all the evidence is in" on global warming. Hmm...maybe for evolution I'd agree with that, but it's not just the oil funded scientists who would have problems with that. Not that it doesn't exist, not that we shouldn't research and try to prevent that, but propaganda like that right out of the gate is disgusting.

Sorry for the offtopic, Pat Robertson is nuts.

Please stop trolling.

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

Wait. I thought God was telling him this. So, either he thinks he's God or he's admitting that God doesn't know what he's talking about half the time.

Either way -- Christians probably shouldn't like what he has to say.

cash also believes that all women's vaginas explode because he's so hot..

for what it's worth

:-P

Now you guys know how most scientists feel when Al Gore starts making predictions. They both have their faithful.

What predictions are you talking about exactly?

How do scientists feel?

Nice trollish slam of Al Gore. I see you have appealed to a signifinant number of faithful Al Gore haters in marking up your comment.

Your attempted comparison is complete and total bull@!$%#.

I am a non-denominational Christian and cringe when Pat Robertson opens his mouth.

Why has your religion been hijacked by a bunch of extremist like him?

I find it a little extreme to call him an extremist, a wacko, maybe, but if you want extremism, look at people who call for the destruction of religious civilizations. I measure "extremist" against the modern day extremist mullahs and muslim leaders who encourage pupils to blow themselves up, or kill anyone who isnt muslim.

I'll concede to you that both may be extremists, but that on a extremists scale of 1 to 10, Robertson is maybe a 2, while the radical mullahs and muslim leaders are closer to 8 or 9's (arent 10's because they don't have the means to do full blown genocide)

You laugh, but if the voice in your head goes by Jesus, Jehovah, or just says "I am" we call you a prophet. Any other name though, and you're a lunatic.

I'm NOT schizophrenic, and neither am I.

Hey, as I've said before, I had a crappy childhood and all *I* got was one lousy personality.

Oh the humanity!

My dog's name is Jesus and we talk to each other all the time, especially on the way to gun shows.

sorry about the double comment. something went wrong when I was typing and the page refreshed to a "401 - Not Found" error - twice.

I hope this only appears once.

WINNAR!

Rep. Virgil Goode has a new company in Rev. Both belong to the same exclusive club, and has the patent for God's private direct hotline. God hands out his direct hotline only to the selected few. According to Rev., that selection process is simple, who claim to be self-righteous and tolerant individuals (not). Their belief is like this "Do what I say, not what I do." Translation: Practice what you preach, Rev. You are using God's name as a pawn for your indoctrination of fear. Both are quick to condemn people –who do not belong to their exclusive club of lies and deceit.

The only people that we should fear are the people like Rev and Rep Goode who call themselves "sanctimonious" and their fanatical ideologies. Rev., maybe you are not aware of this fact and I would like to point out that you are using God's name in vain.

As a Christian, I am embarrassed in you using Christianity as a scapegoat to preach this utter nonsense! Christianity stands for much greater and meaningful than your futile sermon.

Christianity is much greater and meaningful than your futile sermon.

just one last thing. You know the mass killing? That you are all being prepped for? Did you ever stop and consider that it may well come to pass simply because your country can't afford to keep you all any more? I mean if you don't have the means to consume then whats the point of you?
How many here are debt free? No? Dead weight.
Ever wonder why the national debt is being run up such that it's inconceivable it can ever be repaid?
Could be the future doesn't have your name on it.
Interesting times yeah?

I'm going to go hide in the basement. Someone wake me when it's over.

interesting indeed.
But I dont have any depts... well... I owe the library ladies from elementary school a few hundred dolars in nickles by now... but i dont think that counts.

and I live in my basement already, so, again - no worries for good ol' andrew.

Andrew, you, and I expect your brother, are poor but interesting.
If you can remain uncontaminated then even better :)

Haha Andrew you crack me up.

Winsome, I worry you may be right. Every time I start feeling like I'm lucky to live in America I get a sinking feeling in my stomach when I realize that in the next 20 years China is going to waaaaay overtake us in terms of consumer power. The whole idea of national borders has thus far been a benefit to the US, but I think there may come a day when we are just as hemmed in as anyone in a third world country. The fattened calf can't just eat well forever.

Way ahead of you there. Don't have a credit card, rent and can live off the land if I had to. . . .

Rent is fine until you can't pay it any more. Paid-off land is the way to go.

You missesd the Supreme Court decision about Eminent Domain, didn't you. LOL

Most likely I did, since I am not American. Care to enlighten me?

Nice dream, i own 10 acres outright. I also have to pay about $6000 in taxes every year on it. There is no such thing as "paid-off" land.

Most likely I did, since I am not American. Care to enlighten me?

Doh! Newsvine is way more international than any other forum I have belonged to and sometimes I'm US-centric I guess.

Justices Affirm Propert Seizures

The local govt may seize and resell private land to an organization that will use it in ways that bring more revenue to the govt. California passed a state law the makes this illegal in California.

who's bringing the Kool-Aid?

Flavor Aid. The Kool Aid people hate it when you use their product for mass suicide.

if I were the KoolAid people, I'd play it up. There's a good market out there for that stuff:
"KoolAid -- the mixer of choice for cults everywhere!"

Funny thing is, one flew over the cuckoo's nest is an excellent example. All those retards can leave whenever they want, they're just too... impaired?

And if they were MUSLIM tumbleweeds, then inside them there would be tumbleweeds etc etc

Muslim tumbleweeds?

yep, recursive Muslim tumbleweeds. Crazy I know.

Sounds like a great name for a rock band.

Regardless of their spin koozebane, good point, and very true.

Koozebane,

Do you have any evidence for your assertion?

Of course, their tends to be more focus on American personalities but that is not the bias you seem to imply. Seeds about the excesses of the muslim leader of Iran get plenty of attention.

Perhaps you should provide evidence of your implied bias or admit you just like to make @!$%# up?

Just a couple of easy ones from my own history....

From yesterday: Muslim called for Americans and Danes to be murdered at protest against cartoons

Seven votes, 2 comments.

A week or so ago: Clerics Urge Muslims to Back Iraq Sunnis

4 votes. several comments from 2 people.

Interest has been mighty low in Muslim rantings on Newsvine. No outrage. No snarky insults. No ass-clenched tirades. Nothing.

Oh and yeah, I have a desperate need to manufacture controversy by making stuff up. You caught me, Sherlock. Your skill of debate through adversarial guesswork is simply astounding.

An article about a random british citizen that no one has ever heard of gets slightly less attention?

Its not even close.

Of course I can find articles on many subjects that have little attention.

Are you surprised that stories about people who have influence in the US tend to have more interest than those about people they have never heard of. Unfortunately Pat Robertson has a good deal of political influence. Fortunately the random guy in the UK doesnt.

Oh and yeah, I have a desperate need to manufacture controversy by making stuff up. You caught me, Sherlock. Your skill of debate through adversarial guesswork is simply astounding.

You do seem to have a predilection to level accusations about other newsviners without any real substance. Your baseless juvenile insults dont add much either.

Yeah but they keep him busy, quick hit and run history, this weeks leader for comments.

Excuses and more personal bullshiat.

Exactly what I expected.

A short pithy attempt at superiority, followed by a vote for yourself. I knew you were going to do that. And whats more you'll keep doing it, its simply what you do.

And....you answer with more personal crap.

You've got this integrity bashing down pat, I must say.

Top Saudi cleric issues religious edict declaring Shiites to be infidels - Shiites are worse than Jews or Christians? Wow, good thing this wasn't a Christian saying these things.

Holy Homophobia - Gosh, good thing this wasn't about Christians and their views.

Why they deny the Holocaust - An article about Muslim denial? Uninteresting.

Why they deny the Holocaust - Nope, still uninteresting.

Why Muslims don't like the W word - Wahhabis or Salafis - Oh, wait....this isn't pro Muslim or anti Christian. Uninteresting.

I'll continue on down through the list of everything. The pattern of activity is undeniable.

Muslims demand rape law reverse - Religious types rejecting advances in women's rights? Oops! Muslim.....never mind.

Morocco jails German for trying to convert Muslims - Fundamentalists jailing people? Oh, it was Muslims oppressing Christians. Not interesting.

Sharia law is spreading as authority wanes - Uninteresting.

The pattern of activity is undeniable.

What exactly is the pattern? You are badly confusing what you want to find with what is actually there.

That international stories tend to get less attention than domestic? That AP stories often get more attention than many others.

The last AP story on holocaust denial got LOTs of attention. Probably more than this story will. I guess that doesnt fit your preconceived pattern.

When you are already dead set on a hypotheis the data will look clear to you. I could list a series of articles critical of Bush that had zero votes and zero comments.

Pat Robertson is a lightning rod for attention in the United States. The norm for international stories IS little or no attention, the fact that you go out looking for ones you like that didnt get much attention is hardly surprising.

Primer on Islamic Imperialism - Nope. Too honest...let's ignore this one.

Iran bans thousands of books, calling publishers 'assistants of evil' - Wow.....good thing Pat Robertson didn't say anything like this.

More British Muslims Planning Attacks? - STILL not as interesting as Pat's forecasts.

The last AP story on holocaust denial got LOTs of attention. Probably more than this story will. I guess that doesnt fit your preconceived pattern.

Well, gosh. It's a good thing he's a Caucasian, non-Muslim right winger, eh?

I think, Kooze, it should be obvious why people on the Vine (mostly Americans, and certainly more Christian than Muslim) would talk more about, and be more upset by, comments from a prominent Christian.

There's crazy @!$%#s on every side that say absurd @!$%# like this, but, the reason Robertson garners attention over most Muslims is because he is a prominent (at least, somewhat) Christian, in the United States. There are many on the Vine and elsewhere who feel like he gives our country, or their faith, a bad name, whereas the same cannot be said for most Muslims spouting similar things.

One guy predicting a large scale attack this year does not give everyone in America a bad name. I find your assertion to be a rationalization for undue overreaction.

A very large part of all this is knee jerk reaction to seeing Robertson's name in the headline.

The amount of attention given to the radical fanatics Robertson believes are going to attack us once again is next to nil around here. I find it very telling.

We all know it's FAR more fashionable to bash Christians and ignore Muslim wrongdoing.

Anything else would be politically incorrect.

But this isn't about him predicting an attack this year, the backlash is about Robertson himself, and his conduct in public, using his "celebrity" status to spout this kind of nonsense every chance he gets.

In other words:

A very large part of all this is knee jerk reaction to seeing Robertson's name in the headline.

honestly!

even more absurd...?: there are homeless guys who say the same bulls*** on the streets of Santa Monica. they have bullhorns, though. i'm sure that as soon as they get their own TV show they'd be able to do just what Patsy, here, does.

apparently money = immunity

*cough*

...i wish america wasn't so stupid.

You're going to need a pretty big wishing well.

Top shelf material.

/bow

There is nothing wrong with Pat that a can't be fixed with anti psychotic drugs.

Oh, yeah... I'm very sorry I ever heard of Pat Robertson...

I'm astonished he still has a quorum{of neurons}

time for somebody to take his advice and... um... pay a visit to... Pat.

i'll take purgatory any day.

That is the problem. People listen to him.

Scary and mean bring in the donations.

Yeah, maybe he'll leg-press a major American city.

Yeah, maybe he'll leg-press a major American city.

LMAO!

Most likely thing to happen: Robertson, a religious fanatic, will realize that nothing is going to happen when December 07 rolls around and when faced with the contradictions in his mind, will be forced to commit the act of terrorism himself.

The only question is... Will it be the Talking Heads' Burning Down The House or Public Image, Ltd.'s Swan Lake (Death Disco) that he's listening to - dubbed down to cassette as many times as will fit on one side - over and over and over in his old yellow sports walkman while he does the deed?
