Almost every week, Republicans join a competition to see who can say the most outlandish things, and in the process, they push the envelope on just how ditzy InsaniTEA can become. I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.
Pat Robertson officially and dramatically goes off the deep end.
Uncle Pat has told a bunch of whoppers in his day, but he killed it this week by coming up with possibly the most outlandish answer to the question posed by a woman whose co-worker lost her three-year-old child. What should the woman say if the co-worker asked her, “Why did God allow my baby to die?” she asked the TV pastor.
Robertson hemmed and hawed and pointed out that it just might be possible that God was not the one who let the baby die, a strange gambit for the right-wing Bible thumper who once suggested faith healing could bring dead babies back to life. Maybe the hospital screwed up—sometimes people are the “ones making mistakes.”
Then a thunderbolt struck and the televangelist suggested a whole other line of argument. What if this child had grown up to be Hitler? Maybe God had really done everyone a solid since he is all-seeing and all knowing.
“As far as God’s concerned, he knows the end from the beginning and He sees a little baby and that little baby could grow up to be Adolf Hitler, he could grow up to be Joseph Stalin, he could grow up to be some serial killer, or he could grow up to die of a hideous disease,” Robertson said. “God sees all of that, and for that life to be terminated while he’s a baby, he’s going to be with God forever in Heaven so it isn’t a bad thing.” –
All of this is sure to make that grieving mother feel much much better.
You’re welcome.

Robertson never fails to oppose Jesus Christ in everything he says and does. This is only the fifth of five Republican doozies from last week alone. Click through for the other four.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I can’t handle these “fables” from this deranged psycho! He has more twists than a pile of snakes in mating season! In fact, he reminds me of a pile of snakes! Useless and endless!
I'm not sure the photo of Perry belinged with the quote from Inhofe. Although, as unhandsome as Perry is, I'm kind of glad they spared us a photo of Imhofe, who is hideous.
It is kind of funny that all these Repubs go to what they call "the church" to justify their extremism, but when a real church leader speaks up, as he should, they tell him to shut up.
Robertson has to be senile, but he is still raking in the money!
I hadn't heard anything about Inhofe for a while, hoped he was gone, but NOOOO, now he is attacking the Pope because, the pontiff is evidently against wide spread pollution caused by Inhofe's friends.
Since there has been so much devastation in Texas recently from flooding, I wonder if the Senator from California has rethought her premise.
Megyn Kelly is not the brightest star in the sky, is she?
Rick Perry, he who is under indictment for so many things in Texas, due to his remarkable ability to govern, should probably keep his mouth shut.
James Inhofe — Is the Pope Catholic? Do bears shit in the woods? Does the sun rise in the morning? Is James Inhofe a climate change/global warming denying idiot that should never have been appointed the Senate environmental committee czar? The answer to all these questions is yes. Too bad for the last one (sigh. . .)
Shannon Grove — Grove, rhymes with Rove and is just as moronic! Too bad her mother didn't know about abortion.
Megyn Kelly — The article states that "there are vey few saints in this country" and as Edie says, Megyn Kelly is not a celestial body. She is a manmade fallible being, not a saint. "Why is everyone picking on her?" Because she is not a saint and therefore has no civil rights! What's good for the goose is good for the gander!
Rick Perry — It is said that women in the board rooms and executive offices are taken more seriously and perceived to be smarter when they where glasses and shove their sleeves up. Hasn't worked well for Rick Perry though. He still looks like the Man of Oops!
Pat Robertson — If some Christians are feeling persecuted, here's the reason . . . Robertson is the pied piper of pseudo Christians. He sounds like many of the people I sit and talk to when I visit my mother at her dementia care home except that they make more sense than he does!
Speaking of outlandish Republicanus/Teabaggerum pronouncements, I have heard anything from that lightning bolt Louis Goh-merde. Is he saving up all his gems for the Republicanus/Teabaggerum presidential primary?
I forget what he did, but I saw a piece on Go Go Goose Step a couple day's ago. It wasn't worth sharing.
TY TC.
I did take the time, and effort, believe me, to read through all five of them (thank you for posting, TomCat), but than I had no energy left to comment on them. And why comment, these five bozos did an excellent job of making asses out of themselves, what's left to comment on? Every time I think they've outdid themselves, their next is even worse, going far beyond my level of outrage. I shall have to go onto a very heavy training schedule if I'm to reach November 2016.
To survive until 11/2016, you'll need to condition yourself to be able to fill three barf bags in 90 seconds.
1. The Pope has a Masters Degree in Chemistry. Doesn't that make him a scientist?
2. Shannon Grove would have been a perfect disciple for Jim Jones.
3. Duh!
4. I wonder if Perry has a "Secret Plan" like The Donald does to defeat ISIL.
5. If God destroys babies who may grow up to be Hitler or some other mass murderer, why does he let so many of them survive? Please tell me, "Reverend" Pat.
Does he really?
Yes, he really does. It's common for Jesuits to have specialized secular educations. That's one reason why they are identified with education in all the "Which monastic order is the best" jokes (and I have many). They are a teaching order, but they don't believe, like some religious schools, in teaching ignorance of reality.
That is correct, Joanne. They are some of the most educated people in the world. some go to school all their lives.
Sounds like Pat needs to support abortion of the children who might grow up to be Hitler now, too–as Patty alludes to
How come Bush survived?:
I think Pat Robertson should pay heed to Deuteronomy 18:20 New International Version (NIV)
Here's a fun fact: I called the local TV station that carries Robertson's Folly, and they told me that he PAYS the station to air it, just as any other corporation would to air their commercial. Explain anything?
That's why he tries so hard to fleece his sheeple, especially the vulnerable elderly ones.
What would ypou get, if Pat Robertson was eaten by w whale?
A dead whale from food poisoning.
