Pat Robertson needs to die

[tetris]

90% to the church and 10% where it was promised to go.

im guessing it was promised to go towards the coke and hookers that the producers asked for?

So then, what is Pat Robertson the spokesperson of? scientology?

the 700 club.

it used to be 700 memebrs but it turned into a business and now it is the 700million dollar a year club.

He inherited it from Jim Bakker AFAIK

Actually Pat Robertson started the 700 Club.  Jim and Tammy Bakker originally worked for Robertson on the Christian Broadcasting Network before they had their own show, The PTL Club.

According to a 2 June 1999, article in The Virginian-Pilot,[19]  Robertson had extensive business dealings with Liberian president Charles Taylor. According to the article, Taylor gave Robertson the rights to mine for diamonds in Liberia's mineral-rich countryside. According to two Operation Blessing pilots who reported this incident to the state of Virginia  for investigation in 1994, Robertson used his Operation Blessing planes to haul diamond-mining equipment to Robertson's mines in Liberia, despite the fact that Robertson was telling his 700 Club viewers that the planes were sending relief supplies to the victims of the genocide  in Rwanda. In response to Taylor's alleged crimes against humanity the United States Congress passed a bill In November 2003 that offered two million dollars for his capture. Robertson accused President Bush of "undermining a Christian, Baptist president to bring in Muslim rebels to take over the country." At the time Taylor was harboring Al Qaeda operatives who were funding their operations through the illegal diamond trade.[20]  On February 4, 2010, at his war crimes trial in the Hague, Charles Taylor testified that Robertson was his main political ally in the U.S., and that he had volunteered to make Liberia's case before U.S. administration officials in exchange for concessions to Robertson's Freedom Gold, Ltd., to which Taylor gave a contract to mine gold in southeast Liberia.[21]  In 2010, a spokesman for Robertson said that the company's arrangements - the Liberian government got a 10 percent equity interest in the company and Liberians could purchase at least 15 percent of the shares after the exploration period - was similar to many American companies doing business in Africa at the time.

  Or, even better, get Jon Lovitz to dub him every time he speaks.

Very interesting. Apparently, Pat Robertson did something similar in Zaire as well:

  Taylor's critics portray him as a corrupt leader who has
looted the country while most Liberians barely eke out a living.

     In an article published last fall, the expatriate group
Liberian Democratic Future estimated Taylor's personal wealth at
$450 million and compared him to the late Mobutu Sese Seko, who
amassed a fortune while ruling Zaire (now Congo) with an iron
hand for three decades before he was driven out by rebel forces
in 1997.

     It was Mobutu who granted Robertson diamond-mining rights in
Zaire in the early 1990s.

     Two pilots told The Virginian-Pilot in 1997 that airplanes
sent to Zaire by Operation Blessing, Robertson's tax-exempt
humanitarian organization, were used almost exclusively to ferry
equipment for the diamond venture.

     Those accusations sounded alarms with a Northern Virginia
state senator, who suggested that the arrangement had potential
tax and consumer fraud implications. A nearly two-year-long state
investigation ensued.

     The matter now rests in the office of Attorney General Mark
Earley, who pledged an impartial inquiry untainted by the $35,000
campaign contribution he received from Robertson in 1997.

     A spokesman for Earley said last week the investigation
should be completed in the next few weeks.

     Robertson's diamond venture ultimately failed and was shut
down.

In addition to saying that the earthquake was a blessing in disguise because they can rebuild the toppled buildings without even referring to the casualties, he actually said that Haiti was cursed because they made a deal with the devil to get rid of French rule.

I wonder how he forms these lame opinions he tries to pass off as fact?

He literally said, "true story" when referring to the pact they apparently made with the devil....amazing.

Anyway...I've only just got to this thread...it's probably way off the original topic now!

I thought this picture was funny.

starting to like him a little more, since he has come out in favor of legal cannibis

 It seems weirdly out of character for him to take such a position, given his image.
 I wonder what's happening with him lately, hiow he is feeling.
