This thread has veered from the supposition that Robertson purportedly supported Rudy for "all the wrong reasons", to one about how the terrorists are really our unappreciated friends who just need some sensitivity and understanding.
It is very surprising that Pat Robertson, a supposed conservative Christian leader, would support a pro-abortion, pro-gay rights candidate.
Robertson,Swaggert,Baker,Falwell, hypocrites all.
After all his financial misconduct? I seem to remember something in the Bible about not stealing
And his brazen flip-flopping about homosexuality?
Well there was that illegal stock deal, when he tried claiming Jimmy Carter was a homosexual in his role working for the Republican party, the time he transferred 6.7 million dollars illegally to political campaigns from his ministry, the illegal forcing of students at Liberty University to follow his church that got him in big trouble, then there was more money he funneled from the old time gospel hour into political candidates, the lies he made about Bill Clinton in office on his tv show, that all turned out to be slander to help his favourite political party. Oh we can't forget his obsession with Tinky Winky from the Teletubbies, his strange contributions from the Moonies and other groups, his signing up voters for George W Bush and preaching to vote for him in the 2000 elections. Of course thats not counting the time he regularly got caught denying he said something and offering money for proof and when proof appears, he throws a fit and it ends up with half a dozen court cases.
Another gay publication drew a similar conclusion about the children's TV character. The April 17, 1998 edition of The Washington Blade, a newspaper that caters to the gay community in the nation's capital, noted that Tinky Winky "has become something of a Gay icon among British viewers," and quoted Kenn Viselman, president of the company that produces the program, as denying the gay connection with Tinky Winky by saying that "the idea is to break down stereotypes
.Three comments in defense of Falwell: First, he didn't write the article in question, which appeared unsigned in National Liberty Journal, a magazine he publishes. When asked about the charge, Falwell said he had never seen Teletubbies and didn't know whether Tinky Winky was homosexual or not. The notion of Falwell attacking a cartoon character is too appealing to liberal prejudices to be easily abandoned
It's an old obsession of the religious right. Remember Jerry Falwell's jihad against Tinky Winky,
