Pat Robertson Prays For Obama's Removal, Asks God To 'Deliver Us From This President'

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Source: People for the American Way

Pat Robertson today asked God to "deliver" the US from President Obama before it's too late. After implying that Obama is a Muslim, Robertson told 700 Club viewers: "We need to do something to pray to be delivered from this president. He is a disaster, an absolute disaster. Democrat, Republican or whatever, this country is into serious decline unless something dramatic is done about it."

Such sentiments are nothing new from the right-wing televangelist. Robertson has previously suggested that Obama is a "crypto-Muslim" and once during George W. Bush's presidency prayed for God to remove justices from the Supreme Court.

While promoting a Christian Broadcasting Network booklet, “Islam: Religion of Peace or War?,” Robertson suggested Obama professed faith in Islam during a 2012 address to the UN General Assembly where he said that “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” In fact, Obama's speech focused on protecting the freedom of speech and religion, and Robertson conveniently omits the president's next line: “To be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied.”

“Our president is frankly out of his mind, making a statement like that. The future belongs to those who belong to God almighty, not those who believe in this stuff.”

The old "Obama is a muslim" canard - apparently, two-time Republican National Convention keynote speaker Robertson missed out on that who "thou shalt not bear false witness" part of the Bible.

1. You think we could get someone to pie him in the face?

[3catwoman3]

15. A cowpie...

...would do nicely.

[QuestForSense]

60. I like the way you think.

[lordsummerisle]

16. LOL n/t

[sakabatou]

2. Well Pat, all you have to do is wait until Jan. 2017

But you're still a bigoted asshole.

[sharp_stick]

3. I've been praying that gawd

remove Pat Robertson for years and the S.O.B. hasn't even caught a fuckin' cold.

[Delmette]

45. Yep

I couldn't have said it better.

[demigoddess]

59. only the good die young

only the good die young, only...

[2naSalit]

78. ^^THIS^^ nt.

[Dawson Leery]

4. The Christian Taliban needs to be taxed

and a visit from the Secret Service.

[geretogo]

38. You've got that right .

[homegirl]

52. A visit

And a visit from the IRS regarding his ministries tax exempt status. So much politicking and the tax exempt status should be gone.

[KurtNYC]

5. So there goes his tax break!

[Tom_Foolery]

6. Simply put, fuck you, Pat. n/t

[Politicalboi]

7. This asshole needs a visit from the Secret Service

And some prison time to go with it.

[doxydad]

8. Deliver us from..

...Pat Robertson and the rest of the lunatic fringe. AMEN

[DhhD]

9. Brother Pat wants to wrestles with God instead of his angel. What a risk.

Robertson is right about one thing: God appointed Obama because it was to be.

God, the One for all.

[okaawhatever]

10. So when we wake up tomorrow and Obama is still President is that a sign from God that he likes Obama

better than Pat?

[geardaddy]

11. "Hi, I'm Pat Roberston...

I'm not a Christian, but I play one on TV."

[geretogo]

39. Good one .

[colorado_ufo]

75. I love this!

[Swede Atlanta]

12. Hasn't he croaked and descended into hell yet?

His continued life causes us hell by his insipid stupidity.

Boy is Pat going to be surprised when he comes up for judgement and finds that God is a woman and she is hopping mad at him for his slander of her creations. I don't think it will be a good day for him.

[pangaia]

37. His life is a living hell.

He just doesn't know it.
Or-- maybe he does..

[lakercub]

13. Obama's clearly doing some real good things

Because he's pissing off all the people I want pissed off. If it's bad for Pat Robertson, it's good for America.

[cosmicone]

14. God is listening

and in answer to his prayers, he will deliver him from Obama's rule on January 20, 2017.

Then he'll have to pray all over to deliver him from Hillary Clinton's rule and god ain't gonna listen till 2025.

[displacedtexan]

17. His collection plate overfloweth.

At least, that's his plan.

There's a charlatan born every minute.

[3catwoman3]

18. I have been known...

...to offer up an occasional plea for deliverance from Scalia, Thomas and Alito.

[marble falls]

19. Well he's batting about .000 so far. My money's on the President.....

Mr President, its past time to go after them. We will do our best to give you a House and a Senate that will work with you.

[CJCRANE]

20. God told me he's sick of your whining, Pat.

I can't repeat the last four words he said, in polite company.

[rurallib]

21. Evil Uncle Pat has no more pull with any god

than I do. He just talks like he does to scare the not too bright.

[FiveGoodMen]

22. Pat Robertson is still on TV

Ergo there is no god.

(And very little intelligence in the US)

[DFW]

23. Robertson has been watching too many reruns of "Beckett"

If someone acts like the film ended, Robertson gets to do the rest of his "preaching" on death row.

Let's just hope he ends instead where he belongs: in the loony bin

[tanyev]

24. If God calls Pat home before Obama leaves office, I'm going to laugh my a$$ off.

[Boomerproud]

42. His followers will blame Obama for that too.

n/t

[Dustlawyer]

47. Yeah, since supposedly God works in mysterious ways, maybe he will remove Pat so he will not

have to suffer under Obama.

[tanyev]

56. 'Ole Pat must not remember the fundies that prayed for a deluge of rain to drown out Obama

at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. His speech went off without a hitch.

The 2008 GOP convention? Delayed by Hurricane Gustav. 2012 GOP convention? Delayed by Hurricane Isaac.

Be careful what you effing pray for.

[FailureToCommunicate]

25. Will the Secret Service consider Roberson a co-instigator the next time some rightwing wackjob tries

to attack the White House?

They should.

I kinda always thought God had very little time or patience for US domestic politics, or false profits, ESPECIALLY the sleazy televangelist kind like Robertson.

[Tsiyu]

51. Pat does make a tidy true profit

being a false prophet.

And Pat is engaged in stochastic terrorism, even if Gawd never listened to Pat at all.

[olddad56]

26. Careful what you pray for Pat, stupid asshole.

[DemoTex]

27. Praying advice from author Harry Crews in "The Gospel Singer" ..

"Pray in one hand, and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first."

[rhett o rick]

28. How ironic it would be if a lightening bolt struck Dipshit Robertson and we heard from on high,

a voice (sounding a lot like Morgan Freeman) saying, "CONSIDER YOURSELF DELIVERED."

[1StrongBlackMan]

34. Or better ...

a voice sounding like Joy Behar or Whoopie Goldberg saying, "THIS IS GOD ... CONSIDER YOURSELF DELIVERED."

[maindawg]

29. I am praying to my god

That Pat Robertson will die a horrible death featuring alot of blodd. I am also praying to my god to kill all of the 700 club members through some terrible disease that makes you bleed right through your eyeballs.

[geretogo]

36. You are too kind .

[onehandle]

30. Translation: 'Somebody kill the President'

Creep.

[RedSpartan]

41. Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?!

[Tom Ripley]

46. Yeah, it's pretty damn explicit

since Obama can't run for reelection, Robertson can't pull any of his smarmy "I meaaaant don't vote for hiiiimmmm" nonsense.

[1StrongBlackMan]

31. Uhh, Pat ...

God has already answered that question ... Twice.

[Tarheel_Dem]

32. I'm told that God doesn't hear those kinds of prayers, and it's dangerous for Robertson to publicly

call for this president's "removal". A member of his christian taliban just might take it as "a message from God".

[City Lights]

33. Crazy fool.

[geretogo]

35. Now I know the Devil exists . He is sitting with his disciple planning evil for Americans that don't

bow down and worship him " GOD PAT" and worship at the alter of Ayn Rand , and turn away from
Good , Truth , and Freedom and Justice for ALL . Please Lucifer leave us and return to your house of flames
in the center of the earth for eternity .

[shenmue]

40. Pat Robertson is Satan.

It must be true.

[DinahMoeHum]

43. Hey, Pat, Fred Phelps is calling you, saving you a place. . .

. . .in hell.

Right alongside Jerry Falwell.

BTW, the Secret Service would like a word with you. . .

[YOHABLO]

44. Hey Pat .. do you hear me ? It's Jerry, yeah Jerry callin .. I'm callin you home Pat, come on home.

[grandpamike1]

48. If there

truly is a God, why, of why can't he bring Pat home ? Charlatans like him seem to live and pollute forever.

[Madmiddle]

49. Why is he still not taxed out of existance.

This Elmer Gantry guy is a poor excuse for a human being.

[tech3149]

50. Would it be wrong for me to pray to for God to deliver us from Pat Robertson?

I mean, seriously, I grew up in a Protestant home, my FIL was a Baptist minister. I have no problem with people of faith, but he is seriously twisted. I just wish he and his kind could join their Lord in the next world because I really don't think they're doing any good here.

[TxDemChem]

53. What a fuck wad.

[Bartlet]

54. I look forward to

The news of Pats' demise. I have some steaks sitting in the freezer awaiting the news of a celebratory BBQ.

[Mister Ed]

55. Heed the signs! God has told me that he will END the Obama presidency...

...at the stroke of noon, on January 20th, 2017.

Let none doubt the Word!

[Ned Fenwick]

57. Little-Known Morsel of Pat Robertson Lore

The Most Reverend Robertson is widely acknowledged among us cognoscenti, or we cognoscenti (as many say), as having been the inspiration for the character of the patriarch Abraham Simpson on the long-running series "The Simpsons" - true story. And I think it's pretty obvious.

[demigoddess]

58. God deliver us from this preacher,

PLEASE!!

[onehandle]

61. Well, guns are the new glory suit. nt

[calguy]

62. Relax Pat ....

In three years you'll get your prayers answered. Then you Can pray for Hillary's removal for eight more years. But hopefully God will "call you home" before Mr. Obama's term is up, then OUR prayers will have been answered.

[czarjak]

63. Preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ then endorse a Mormon..

Theological impossibility Patty.

[workinclasszero]

67. Pat is a fucking teabag mammon loving randian republican first

"Christian" comes in a very distant second. If you belong to the $$$ branch of w/e generic mega church Pat is ok with you!



Pat Robertson used millions in aid to fund private diamond mine

[freshwest]

64. Where is the Rapture© when we need it? Go away, Pat, you're high on Mammon. n/t

[liberal N proud]

65. Is that asshole still spewing his hate and hypocrisy?

[yellowcanine]

71. Yes, and from his mouth also.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

66. Well, bless his heart...

Isn't the God of the Christians, Jews, and Muslims all the same God?

At least he's keeping his hatred and bigotry out in the open. I'd rather be able to know who is a bigot, than find out after you've given them the benefit of the doubt. More racists and bigots should wear their ugliness on their sleeves.

[Arkana]

68. "When asked to comment, God replied 'lol, no'."

[cntrygrl]

69. One line in his statement worries me ....

"......this country is into serious decline unless something dramatic is done about it." Is he actually hoping some deranged religious-right thumper who hears/reads that would try taking Obama out and say that he/she was just doing gawd's work? Old Pat would be so thrilled but you can bet he would deny ever implying such a thing. This reminds me of Sarah and her pictures of crosshairs on various politicians, one of them being Gabby Giffords.

[yellowcanine]

70. A meteorite perhaps?

[theHandpuppet]

72. I can only wonder why this scumbag isn't in prison...

...considering his dealings with Charles Taylor not to mention his shady, multi-million dollar enterprises involving African gold and diamonds. What a filthy piece of work he is.

[olegramps]

73. And they wonder why so many young people have abandoned churches.

[Crowman1979]

74. Pat Robertson will be removed from this planet before that ever happens.

[gussmith]

76. Appalling

I find it incomprehensible that a 'religious leader' would take such a political position. But then, what do I know about 'religion'.

[Zambero]

77. If Robertson's God was one to intervene in U.S. politics

we would be addressing Mitt Romney as "Mr. President". The Founding Fathers must have had individuals such as Robertson in mind when they specified a separation of church and state. Sorry Pat, but any prayers you have offered up along these lines have and will continue to go unanswered.

[ChazInAz]

93. Right you are.

Cotton Mather was relatively recent history to them.

[warrior1]

79. tax this mother fucker

[stopbush]

80. Too bad Al Franken's in the Senate these days.

He could be delivering comic gold with this material and the spot-on Pat Robertson impersonation he used to do on SNL.

[Va Lefty]

82. He's an example in a skit on the 1988 Republican Primary Debates

http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4484802/al-franken-pat-robertson

Dan Aykroyd is great as Bob Dole

[treestar]

81. Yeah Pat, we know a black man in the WH is an "absolute disaster"

for you and your buddies.

[6000eliot]

83. How could a merciful God want people to have health care?

[frylock]

84. 6 years of praying and Obama is still here, Pat

[WatchWhatISay]

85. Easily the most hateful man (alive) in the Christian world

And its poorest role-model

[Zorra]

86. Are there any Leftist Lesbian Latinas we have a shot at electing Prez in 2016?

[EV_Ares]

87. Robertson & Christianity

It used to be that the word Christian and church meant something good. It is people like Robertson that is changing the meaning of the word Christian along with the church and religion to a negative meaning. Anymore it is thought of more as a right-wing political organization rather than what it used to be.

These people tarnish everything they touch. I realize that there are still good churches that do still stay away from politics and preach as they are supposed to and used to do but so many have gone political.

[athenasatanjesus]

88. Why doesn't God just bypass the president..

.and make everything work the way God supposedly wants everything to work?

[Ccarmona]

89. I Have to Agree

with Robertson, the Country is in decline. He just is praying for the wrong people to be removed. It's because of HIM and his Repug friends in Congress and on the SCOTUS doing everything possible to move this country to the fascist state they crave, that we are in decline.

[yuiyoshida]

90. ah Pat? YOu are OLDER....ITS likely...

You will beat Obama to the pearly gates...that is until they open that wide hole beneath your feet, and your wings fall off. Its a long straight drop to HELL. Enjoy your short stay on the planet.

[NYtoBush-Drop Dead]

91. Time for God to..

smite him.

[47of74]

92. I refuse to call Robertson a man of God

Because he is simply not such a person. He is an evil, twisted man who is just as sick and twisted as Fred Phelps ever was. Robertson brings shame and dishonor to all good and decent people of the cloth.

[LiberalElite]

94. I wish God would deliver us from Pat Robertson nt

[enki23]

95. You didn't invent black magic, Pat ol' pal.

"City, you dared assault the Ekur, who [defied] Enlil,

Agade, you who dared assault the Ekur, who [defied] Enlil,

May your groves be heaped up like dust,...

May your clay (bricks) return to their abyss,

May they become clay (bricks) cursed by Enki,

May your trees return to their forests,

May they become trees cursed by Ninildu.

Your slaughtered oxen-may you slaughter your wives instead,

Your butchered sheep-may you butcher your children instead,

Your poor-may they be forced to drown their precious (?) children,...,

Agade, may your palace built with joyful heart, be turned into a depressing ruin...,

Over the places where your rites and rituals were conducted,

May the fox (who haunts) the ruined mounds, glide his tail...,

May your canalboat towpaths grow nothing but weeds,

May your chariot roads grow nothing but the "wailing plant,"

Moreover, on your canalboat towpaths and landings,

May no human being walk because of the wild goats, vermin (?), snakes, and mountain scorpions,

May your plains where grew the heart-soothing plants,

Grow nothing but the "reed of tears,"

Agade, instead of your sweet-flowing water, may bitter water flow,

Who says, "I would dwell in that city" will not find a good dwelling place,

Who says, "I would lie down in Agade" will not find a sleeping place.

[CBHagman]

96. So much for the "Thou shalt not bear false witness" commandment.

He also missed the verse about praying for those in authority -- and that's praying, not preying, though the old sinner doesn't seem to appreciate the difference.

[Missn-Hitch]

97. Dear god, protect me and this country from your followers!

[Liberaltalker]

98. This little man with a peanut head is just sad...

I think he has had way too much of his diet milkshakes... It has really brought out the racist in him. Jeez I wonder what they put in that crap? Dont drink the hateshakes! [link:<a href=".html" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt=" photo patshake_zpseb460c42.jpg"/></a>|
