We tried that. High road didn't work for us - now its time to go low. That's where the traction is. See you there.

I have no particular interest in Pat Robertson but once again, I shake my head over the deep anger of some people in the community.  Lots of bitter, imperfect and miserable people here.  It will all come back at them!

Shake away!

Agree 1000%.

Despicable comments celebrating the death of someone with beliefs different than their own.
The hypocrisy of using such vile and odious comments towards someone they criticize for being ornery does not go unnoticed by fair minded people. 

haters gonna hate....

BoZo

 

Funny how many of those "fair minded people" allowed him to cloak his hate in religious beliefs for so many years. The families he broke apart, the lives he destroyed...

I guess our definition of "fair" may differ quite a bit.

"allowed him"....  Unlike you, Bozo doesn't seek to shut down speech with which he disagrees.
As for "families he broke apart" and "lives he destroyed"...   lol. There is no need to give any credibility to hyperbolic lies and melodramatic blather.

He was as evil as they come. One of the most evil people of all time. If he gets buried, I can't wait to dance on his grave.

Exaggerate much?

Judging by all the triggering, Robertson has won.

He advocated for, and supported, gay conversion therapy.  Did you know that? But sure, I am the one exaggerating.

He sure won big $$$ by spewing hate speech which surely resulted in many deaths, beatings, and abandoned children. One will never be able to calculate the number of lives he destroyed with his BS. I hate to have to agree with you, but yes, he did live a life of wealth at the expense of others. He was a greater terrorist than the Unabomber. Unfortunately, I don't believe in an afterlife, so it's sad, but yes, he got away with it. Not much comfort, but at least those two are finally dead.

The only thing that makes me sad about his passing is that it did not happen in 1960.

Some evil people's death deserves to be celebrated. He was one of those.

"spewing hate speech which surely resulted in many deaths, beatings, and abandoned children."

Care to cite a few examples from an unbiased source? Bozo won't hold his breath.
Perhaps you have him confused with another Minister, Al Sharpton. Yes, MSNBC's own resident charlatan and racist, who led a wild mob in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, chanting "Kill the Jews". They found one. Yankel Rosenbaum, an innocent bystander - a visiting Australian Talmudic student - sadly in the wrong place at the wrong time, murdered in cold blood by an Al Sharpton-led mob. 
I will take one Pat Robertson over 100 Al Sharptons, Jesse Jacksons, Louis Farrakhans, and other vile, racist clergymen.

 

"calculate the number of lives he destroyed with his BS"

Why not do your homework and try to calculate the number of lives he destroyed based on actual examples from unbiased sources rather than spewing out banal platitudes.

I understand that the Dark Side of the forum wants to tarnish the joyful event. Let's not allow them.

This is a celebration. Da Bitch is dead!

It is even more telling of the character of the man who chooses his pastoral.

For a self-proclaimed man of science, you make some very bold assumptions.  Can you prove any of your claims?  Or are you just indulging in victim chic?

Professional victims are celebrating the death of their "oppressor" Pat Robertson to validate their own delusions of victimhood.  For far too many Americans, victimhood is social currency.  Social status and prestige are not measured by money, looks, or education, but rather by one's degree of victimhood.  So professional victims bend over backward to pretend they were in some way oppressed by Pat Robertson to show off their victimhood bona fides.  It's the Cult of Victimhood's version of keeping up with the Joneses.

He's gone where the goblins go below, below, below, yo ho
Let's open up and sing, and ring the bells out
Ding-dong! the merry-o sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the wicked bitch is dead

Now on Pat Roberstons side? Yikes. I couldn’t think that posse could go any lower.

finally understand why the politics forum was removed.

I can't say I was a fan of Pat Robertson nor a critic because I know almost nothing about the guy.  I was simply criticizing all the nouveaux Jussie Smolletts who carry on as if they were victimized by the man.

One of the main reasons I wanted the Politics Forum open was for everyone to know the troglodytes living with us. I was wrong, we do not need it. I am glad a few masks are falling.

Let's keep celebrating.

I did not know much about Pat Robertson.  But it seems clear that he was ignorant or willfully blind to the progressive nature of understanding sexuality and gender expression/identity.  Like all people with a degree of celebrity, there is the potential to use that power for building people up or tearing them down.  Yes, his views were extremely troubling, and without drifting into politics and religion, I would argue they bore little resemblance to the faith he purported to represent.  Nobody will ever know the extent of the harm his words and actions have had - the same as for others who enjoy the pedestal of fame.  What is even more disturbing to me is that millions of people kept him in a position where he could express ignorant and dangerous views about those whose identity he disagreed with.  He was just one man, but his reach was far because many people sadly still agree with his archaic opinions.  That is much more chilling than Pat Robertson himself.
