Pat Robertson says crack in Washington Monument "a sign from the Lord"

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Or, returning to our series from 2006-07: "Pat Robertson is a dangerous idiot -- Part Cinq."



The man has made a killing, so to speak, saying stupid (and often hateful) things, wielding enormous influence over his followers while acting as one of the most important leaders of the religious right.

Stupid things like this:

Ladies and gentlemen I don't want to get weird on this so please take it
for what it's worth. But it seems to me the Washington Monument is a
symbol of America's power, it has been the symbol of our great nation,
we look at that monument and say this is one nation under God. Now
there's a crack in it, there's a crack in it and it's closed up. Is that
a sign from the Lord? Is that something that has significance or is it
just result of an earthquake? You judge, but I just want to bring that
to your attention. It seems to me symbolic. When Jesus was crucified and
when he died the curtain in the Temple was rent from top to bottom and
there was a tear and it was extremely symbolic, is this symbolic? You
judge.

Me? Okay. 



Pat Robertson, you theocratic monstrosity, you symbol of ignorance and inanity, you're fucking insane.
