Well, Rev. Pat Robertson is at it again.
The last time we paid attention to Rev. Pat he was warning the residents of Dover, PA that they’d face god’s wrath for voting in a school board that advocates science, rather than religion, in the science curriculum.
And before that Rev. Pat was appealing to the Bush administration to “take out” Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Now that didn’t seem very Christian.
Now, Robertson, the fundamentalist Christian, theocrat, founder of the Christian Coalition, fascist, host of the popular television show the 700 Club, and former Republican presidential candidate called liberal professors “racists, murderers, sexual deviants and supporters of Al-Qaeda” on his March 21 broadcast.
HERE’S THE VIDEO: “America’s 101 Worst Professors”
According to People for the American Way, on the 700 Club on Tuesday, March 21, 2006,
Robertson displayed characteristic anger and frustration at what right-wingers proclaim is another manifestation of liberalism in this country while reviewing (and hawking for sale on the CBN website) the new book by extremist David Horowitz titled, The Professors: The 101 most dangerous academics in America. Robertson waxed glowingly about the book which he says sheds light on the radical academics at American universities claiming, however, that it is just a “short list” of the “thirty to forty thousand” left wing professors who he calls “termites that have worked into the woodwork of our academic society and it’s APPALLING.”
Rev. Robertson launched an attack on “radical” liberal professors saying; “They are racists, murderers, sexual deviants and supporters of Al-Qaeda – and they could be teaching your kids!”
Later in the program he told his viewers, “These guys are out and out communists, they are radicals, they are, you know, some of them killers, and they are propagandists of the first order…you don’t want your child to be brainwashed by these radicals, you just don’t want it to happen. Not only brainwashed but beat up, they beat these people up, cower them into submission. AGGGHHH!!!!’
According to Inside Higher Ed: “David Horowitz, in e-mail interviews Wednesday, acknowledged that he could not show that any of the professors he criticizes in his book actually killed anyone, although he said some may meet the legal test for having helped others to kill. He slammed the Florida legislative report as irrelevant … So who are the murderers Robertson was talking about? Horowitz in his book does not attribute any individual deaths to any of the professors who make his list, but the book jacket does mention “murderers.””
The Virginian Pilot reports that “Pat Robertson’s television ministry continues to ride a wave of ever-mounting contributions, which have almost doubled in less than a decade” and that donors gave $160 million dollars to Robertson’s CBN network in 2005 – an increase of 21% over the previous year.
