Robertson: Too much plastic surgery gives people "Oriental" eyes

On the February 7 edition of the Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club, host Pat Robertson said that people who have received too much plastic surgery "got the eyes like they're Oriental" while he put his fingers up to the side of his face.

Robertson and CBN special features producer Kristi Watts were talking about Fox News host Greta Van Susteren's plastic surgery. Robertson said that Van Susteren "looks great." Watts then asked whether Robertson had "seen someone who got too much." Robertson replied, "Yeah, they got the eyes like they're Oriental, and, you know, it's all pulled."

As Media Matters for America noted, Robertson has called Islam a "Christian heresy" and said that "Jewish people" are "very thrifty" and "extraordinarily good business people." Media Matters also noted that after officials in Orlando, Florida, voted in 1998 to fly rainbow flags from city lampposts during the annual Gay Days event at Disney World, Robertson issued the city a warning: "I don't think I'd be waving those flags in God's face if I were you. ... condition like this will bring about the destruction of your nation. It'll bring about terrorist bombs, it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor."

From the February 7 edition of the Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club:

ROBERTSON: You know there's a lady named Greta Van Susteren, who's on Fox.

WATTS: Yeah.

ROBERTSON: Got a very popular --

WATTS: Oh, I saw her.

ROBERTSON: She looked gorgeous last night, but she had a really serious facial deal. And it did a wonder --

WATTS: Sister needed help.

ROBERTSON: Sister got the help.

WATTS: Sister -- she needed some help, yeah.

ROBERTSON: But she got it. She just looks great, and she's so popular.

WATTS: But have you ever seen someone who got it too much, and so they come up to you, and they're like, "Pat, how are you doing? It's so good to see you."

ROBERTSON: Yeah, they got the eyes like they're Oriental, and, you know, it's all pulled. So, make sure you do it right. But -- it's -- that's one way you can go, but it'll cost you five or six thousand dollars probably. All right. What else?

1. What a fucking nitwit. A complete and total ass. But that's not new, is it?

As for plastic surgery, it actually gives people a chin dimple--that's the belly button, if they pull the skin up high enough.

When they end up with an unwelcome goatee, they've had way too much.

I dunno, I like a few wrinkles--they're badges of honor.

[Olney Blue]

2. Truly inspirational.. NOT

[Cocoa]

3. too much bible thumping makes people look like Chinamen

Pat, your face is going to freeze like that

[liberal renegade]

6. God wants us to become

spiritual fruits not religious nuts. Not sure who said it, but I like it.

[Island Blue]

4. I thought too much plastic surgery gives people Laura Bush eyes.

Granted, I'm not the authority on this that Brother Pat is.

[liberal renegade]

7. Poor Charlie!

:rofl:

[wryter2000]

11. He looked seriously freaked in that picture

Then, the freak-woman's husband landed his helicopter in Charles' mum's rose garden and damaged some plants. I can just hear her, "But Phillip, I thought they were YOUR friends."

[Turbineguy]

5. Robertson is an idiot

I watched that ridiculous show of his (excuseme a moment while I slip into something more asbestosable... ah.... much better), OK, once. The topic was personal GPS devices. He wanted people to believe that the receiver sent back a signal telling "them" where you were. Obviously if you are a crack-whore screwin' fundie preacher, you should be aware of such things.

[Faygo Kid]

8. She's got Greta Garbo's stand-off sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes

At least he could come up with a song.

[verse18]

9. "Oriental"

I thought my RW fundy co-worker was the only person who still use that term to describe Asians. Isn't this 2007?

[FooFootheSnoo]

18. Um, I didn't know Asians considered "Oriental" offensive

until about a year ago when I heard an Asian comedian complaining about the word Oriental. I don't know a lot of Asian people. Obviously, now I say Asian. However, Pat Robertson's "people" should let him know it's offensive.

[Candide]

20. As my "Asian" wife puts it

Asian- people
Oriental- objects (furniture, rugs etc)

ergo, there are no oriental people. make no mistake about it!

[Parche]

10. GRETA

greta van susteren is the 'dick cheney' of FAUX NOISE they both talk out of the side of their mouth

[Ikonoklast]

12. I never ceases to amaze me

I swear to God Almighty Himself, I am going into the televangelist business.

How any breathing, minimally intelligent human being could listen to one of these dim-witted, hypocritical, eye-squinching, money-grubbing self-proclaimed men of God *literally* astounds me to no end.

I would never have to say or do anything even remotely sane, just proclaim it all as 'God's Will' and rake in the dough from the sheep. Never break a sweat and become a millionaire off other people's misery and gullibility.

P.T. Barnum was right. There are suckers born every minute.

[sakabatou]

13. Robertson should be dumped from everything

even his own ass.

[MrSlayer]

14. Well there is truth to it.

When occidental people continuously lift their face they end up looking somewhat oriental. It happens. So what?

[and-justice-for-all]

15. Die already Pat, you piece of shit. nt

[bridgit]

16. X-cellent!! but what does it do for nose hairs?

[Maat]

21. Well, I want to thank you - I just lost that nice dinner my hubby bought me!

;)

You showed the Truth; it hurt!

On edit:
You just reminded me - I think I need to take care of MY nosehairs!

:o

[Cass]

17. Why on earth is Robertson gossiping about plastic surgery on a religious

inspirational show? How weird is that? I wonder what Jesus thinks about plastic surgery.

:eyes:

[marmar]

19. Emoticons and Gnarls Barkley can say it better than I can.....

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
possibly

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

[Swamp Rat]

22. Reminds me of the movie Brazil...

[Gruenemann]

23. Gives a whole new meaning to that 80s hit...

"Turning Japanese"

[americanstranger]

24. I always thought it made you look like Joan Rivers...

...or Steven Tyler. :)
