Pat Robertson: Gays Are Going To Make You Like Anal Sex

Right Wing Watch catches Pat Robertson at his divisive, gay-hating best in this clip where he literally says that gay people will force you to embrace anal sex and endorse sex with dogs.

“It doesn’t matter what custom you’ve got, it doesn’t matter what holy thing that you worship and adore, the gays are going to get it,” Robertson said. “They’re going to make you conform to them. You are going to say you like anal sex, you like oral sex, you like bestiality, you like anything you can think of, whatever it is. And sooner or later you are going to have to conform your religious beliefs the group of some aberrant thing. It won’t stop at homosexuality.”

Pat Robertson: Equal Treatment Under The Law For Gays Is A “Nail In The Coffin” For America

Pat Robertson tells a viewer of The 700 Club saying that laws that make it illegal for businesses to deny service to customers on the basis of sexual orientation amount are “an outrageous invasion of religious liberty and a trampling of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.”

“I think the courts that forced that, the officials that forced it, were dead wrong and it’s just one more nail in the coffin of the morality of this nation,” Robertson said.

Pat Robertson Says Treat Your Gay Son Like A Drug Addict

Via Right Wing Watch, in this video, Pat Robertson tells a mother to treat her gay son like a drug addict.

“You cannot go along and say, ‘I agree with your lifestyle,’” he said. “So don’t be an enabler, any more if he’s a drug addict, you don’t enable people to continue in their drug habits. But you let him know you love him.”

Pat Robertson Tells Parent To Skip Gay Child’s Wedding

A viewer wrote in to Pat Robertson of The 700 Club today asking if they should skip their child’s same-sex wedding…?

Robertson was quite clear in his advice.

“Shari” writes in:

My spouse and I are not in agreement as to whether or not we should attend the gay marriage of our child. One of us feels that it is totally against the Lord’s pan and our attendance would send (at very least) a mixed message, or at worse it would be like taking a stand for gay marriage. The other feels our attendance would show support to our child that is necessary for the future of our relationship and witness. What do you think we should do? Should one attend, while the other does not?

“You don’t agree with it. You’ve got to stand there and be a witness to it,” Robertson said. “By your attendance at the ceremony, you are agreeing with it … I just wouldn’t go. I would tell your child, ‘I love you but I cannot condone this. We will always love you but I don’t condone this activity.’”

Robertson also advised that neither parent should attend as it might send a signal that the gay marriage was “splitting” the parent’s marriage.

Pat Robertson: Gays Will ‘Die Out Because They Don’t Reproduce’

A viewer asks televangelist nut-job Pat Robertson whether she should stay in a church whose members weren’t allowed to date.

Robertson responds saying she should leave since that church is going to die out, just like those queers.

“You know, those who are homosexual will die out because they don’t reproduce. You know, you have to have heterosexual sex to reproduce. Same thing with that church: it’s doomed, it’s going to die out because it’s the most nonsensical thing I’ve heard in a long time.”

It’s laughable that Robertson doesn’t make note of the fact that the world isn’t full of gay folks because WE reproduce. Luckily, we all have our heterosexual parents to thank for being here.

That being said, tons of LGBT folks like my husband and I will keep on
trying to “conceive.” You know the old saying, “If at first you don’t succeed….”

Even Pat Robertson Thinks Sen. Ted Cruz Pulled A Bone-Headed Move

Well, hell must have frozen over because for once Pat Robertson is speaking with clarity about the shenanigans Sen. Ted Cruz pulled this past weekend regarding the Senate passing the CRomnibus bill to keep the government running.

Normally a bill has to “ripen” for several hours giving Senators a chance to read and digest what they are going to be voting on. But that waiting period can be waived if all 100 Senators agree. This would have allowed a faster vote on the already approved House bill. But Ted Cruz threw a wrench in the works voting against waiving the period because he wanted to have a vote on the Senate floor denouncing President Obama’s executive order on immigration.

This opened a procedural door that allowed outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Democrats the chance to pass over 20 nominations from the President that the Republicans have blocked for months.

One of those nominations that finally got passed after a year and a half hold was Vivek Murthy, a Harvard and Yale-educated doctor, whose nomination for Surgeon General had been on blocked based in great part by opposition from the gun lobby. Thanks to Cruz, he was approved by Senators 51 to 43 to confirm.

Christmas came early for the Dems thanks to the rookie move by Sen. Cruz.

And even Pat Robertson can see it.

Anderson Cooper Takes Down Pat Robertson Over “You Can Get AIDS From Towels” Comments

I recently wrote about the incredibly stupid warning Pat Robertson made about traveling “overseas” because you might get AIDS from towels.

Pause for a moment because – like ice cream “brain freeze” – the stupid just plain hurts.)

Well, I wasn’t the only one to think Pat’s idiocy stood out.

Well, Anderson Cooper took Robertson to task for the comments as he included the sad episode on last night’s “Ridiculist.”

Pat Robertson Calls Gay Advocates Are ‘Terrorists, Radicals And Extremists’

Transcript from today’s anti-gay rant by Pat Robertson:

It’s one thing to want to persuade somebody to believe like you do, that’s what Christianity is about, to bring the Gospel message and say this is good news and we’d like you to accept it. It’s something else to take the arm of the government to force somebody to do something that is against, contrary to their religion, and that’s what these homosexuals are trying to do. They are trying to force people who are Christians to marry them or else face jail, to make cakes honoring them or else go to jail and give their sermons over and divulge their innermost thoughts or go to jail, that’s the kind of thing we’re dealing with.

These people are terrorists, they’re radicals and they’re extremists. No Christian in his right mind would ever try to enforce somebody against their belief or else suffer jail. They did that during the Inquisition, it was horrible, it was a black mark on our history, but it isn’t being done now. There’s no Christian group I know of anywhere in the world that would force somebody to do something contrary to their deep-held religious beliefs or else face criminal penalties, but that’s what the homosexuals are trying to do here in America and I think it’s time pastors stand up and fight this monstrous thing.

If the gays want to go out and do their gay sex, that’s one thing, but if they want you to force you to accept it and solemnify it by marriage then that’s a different matter and it’s an infringement on people’s religious belief. What’s being done in Houston is a gay—the woman they elected is a homosexual, she’s a lesbian, and she’s trying to force pastors to conform to her beliefs. It’s wrong.

Part of the rant seems to reference the current news story about the wedding venue The Hitching Post in Idaho. It goes without saying that if you’ve read the news lately, NO ONE in Idaho is forcing anyone to marry same-sex couples at this point in time. No one has been threatened with jail time over forcing “ministers” to marry same-sex couples.

This is just more hyperbole by the extreme right wing to convince folks “the sky is falling.”

And it’s not.

Pat Robertson: Onslaught Of “Homosexual Behavior” Is Being Forced On US

Strange, I don’t remember forcing anyone to have sex with me…

The increasingly erratic Pat Robertson says that the SCOTUS decision to not review same-sex marriage appeals is forcing an “onslaught of homosexual behavior” on the United States.

The clip below then goes into a report about a business in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, which performs civil marriage ceremonies. The business has apparently refused to perform same-sex marriages even though marriage equality is the law of the land in Idaho now.

Being a “for-profit” business and not a church, the Hitching Post cannot claim “religious exemption” from the city public accommodation law which says businesses can’t discriminate against LGBT folk.

Watch Pat run off the rails again as he tells the owners of the business to get out of Idaho.

Pat Robertson: You Can Get AIDS From Towels

On today’s edition of The 700 Club, a viewer wrote to Robertson saying that God had called them to go on a mission trip to Kenya, but friends and family said it is too dangerous because of the recent Ebola outbreak. The writer wondered if the trip might be too dangerous due to disease like Ebola.

Robertson remarked that while there was not currently an outbreak of Ebola in Kenya, you could get AIDS.

From towels.

SRSLY.

“You might get AIDS in Kenya, people have AIDS, you’ve got to be careful,” he explained. “I mean, the towels could have AIDS.”
