Robertson: ‘I’m Not Sure I Heard From The Lord,’ ‘If I Did, I Hope I Heard Wrong’

Earlier this week, Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said God told him who will win the 2008 presidential election. “He told me some things about the election, but I’m not going to say,” he said.

Last night, Robertson appeared on Hannity and Colmes. When asked by Alan Colmes whether God had spoken to him about the election outcome, Robertson said he was “a little shaky on it” and was “not sure.” But Robertson then implied God told him a Democrat would win the White House:

COLMES: You said that you convene with God on a regular basis. You go into deep prayer and mediation, and you just recently say to you was revealed who would be the winner in November. Is that correct?

ROBERTSON: I felt so. But I’m a little shaky on it and I didn’t want to say anything about it publicly. I’m not sure I heard from the Lord. And if I did, I hope I heard wrong.

Sean Hannity then followed-up and asked who Robertson heard would be President. “I’m not saying publicly Sean,” Robertson replied. “My lips are sealed.”

3. I guess god's IT staff is out, what with the connection problems.

how can god put up with bad comm lines?


The idea the 20,000,000 follow some conservative televangelist remains beyond my comprehension.

[Cobalt-60]

21. I suspect the Heavenly IT guys are blocking Robertson's IP

Can you imagine what unfiltered contact with his septic mind would be like?
A Supreme being might be able to take it.
But why would they?

[Jeroen]

40. No no no...it's Satan's Evil Firewall

[Akoto]

4. "My lips are sealed." There IS a God! n/t

[jannyk]

17. LOL - I nominate your reply for this weeks DUzy's! nt

[Angela Shelley]

5. I´m not sure I read this correctly,

if I did, I hope I read wrong.

[SpiralHawk]

6. I'm sure. You were just lisentening to your own narrow inner voice, Pat

If the Good Lord had actually spoken to you, She would have said:
Stop fleecing the people with your bogus republicon lies, and give back all the money you have manipulated from them.

Get an honest job, and quit this phony preacher propaganda crapola...

[davidwparker]

7. he is such a fake. And to think, I live 10 miles from him.

[JBoy]

38. Close enough for him to hear what you're thinking! n/t

[davidwparker]

44. only when I pass by CBN (his headquarters) on my way to Virginia Beach. :-))

[aquart]

8. Why, Pat, could it be SATAN?

[salin]

9. "So send me money so we can fight off the inevitability

of a democratic president... " Somehow he will turn this ridiculousness into a fundraising campaign.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. Does he have to plug in his toaster to hear the messages?

Or, does he rely on his fillings?

[fenriswolf]

11. wait i thought god gave human beings free will

if thats so how can our actions be predicted. Well obviously god knows everything so to him everything is scripted. but if everything was scripted we have no free will. But wait god gave us free will.........

[nancyr]

12. Oh, God.

Ever notice that God only talks to crazy people?
What a pack of crap.

[dysfunctional press]

27. duh- god has a time-machine...ALL so-called omniscient deities do

that's how they pull it off.

[RoadRage]

13. Let the FEAR MONGERING BEGIN!

Please.. people, RUSH to your friends.. beg them to vote for Huckabee so that everyone will be saved from the evil hate filled democrats... we will not survive this if what God told me while I was playing with my Ouiji board was true.

Also, please send me $200 each so I can try to pay God off and get him to put a Republican in office in 08. Send a self-addressed stamped envelope to.......

[MiniMe]

14. I actually heard that. He tried to say that maybe it wasn't God

It was just those voices in his head. :rofl:

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

18. Must have been demonic voices, hey?!

That's what he is really saying.

[KG]

15. insane or just a fuckin' liar?

does matter?

[Arkana]

16. Pat Robertson thinks that God told him a Democrat will win the White House?

Wow, first time I've ever agreed with him on anything.

[Didereaux]

19. if Robertsons lips were really sealed...

They'd be sewn shut and his body six feet under the good earth of Haiti!

[left is right]

20. ...if I did, I hope I heard wrong

If you are a devout Christian, the only appropriate response to God's expressed will is "Yes, Lord" which is precisely what "Amen" means. Poor PR will be shocked to find that there will be many, many liberal Christians in Heaven and many conservative parading around as Christians that never made it into Heaven. On Judgment Day, I can almost hear their thoughts now. "Where is George Bush, he was such a fine Christian, why was he turned away when those slippery rascal Clinton and Edwards are here. And, what about that so-called minister, Alan Bean, who stirred up such trouble for us Good white Christians in both Tulia, Tx and Jenna, La., what the Hell is he doing up here in Heaven!!1!"

[paparush]

22. If you or I were walking around saying that unseen entities were talking to us..

we'd be introduced to the train wreck that is public Mental Health.

But, claim your some preacher, and you can talk to "god" "jesus" "angels" "moses" "joshua" and who-the-fuck-else and nobody says a word. Joe Six Pack will sit and nod thoughtfully, thankful that Pat can take time out of his busy schedule to talk to god.

Please..someone..point me to a completely secular society, one that is insulated from these cave painters.

[tomreedtoon]

23. Is his Inner Voice like this one?

"Set up a stand outside of K-Mart with a plate full of frozen peas and a sign reading 'Take one.' If anyone asks you what you're doing give them a button that says 'I asked about the peas.'"

From "Inner Voice" by Sudden Death

[lovuian]

24. Baaawaaaahaaaa

:rofl:

You bet Pat

[Solly Mack]

25. seems like all the wrong people are locked away

and the truly dangerous wear the label "leader"

[Arugula Latte]

26. Oh my gawd -- How fucking stupid do you have to be to believe one word out of this jackass's mouth?

:rofl:

[opihimoimoi]

28. Pat is so full of crap..."lips sealed?".....??...Confirming he don know shit

Its a guess......from a slanted point of view....not very productive .....slanted views give off poor odds...

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. If Dog had told him it would be a Republic

you couldn't stop his lips from flapping with a trash compacter and a rivet gun.



But someone should certainly try that.

[DeeDeeNY]

30. Does Pat know that God is a liberal?

[AzDar]

31. "Jesus loves me this I know, 'cause the VOICES tell me so...."

:evilgrin:

[Vickers]

32. You would think he'd recognize His voice by now...

:eyes:

[Canuckistanian]

33. He must be the only person in history

To have said that God talked to him but wasn't listening at the time.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Lord. Were you saying something"

[Jackpine Radical]

34. The mere fact of Robertson's continued existence

constitutes incontrovertible proof the God either does not exist, or She is incredibly tolerant.

[Marr]

35. God does not have a speech impediment.

Robertson tries to provide himself an out by suggesting he may have interpreted the message incorrectly, but there's no wiggle room here at all. If an all-powerful god chooses to communicate, his message should be crystal clear.

[alfredo]

36. Practicing vote suppression on his own party. I guess he is saying

that a vote for the Republicans is a vote against God's will.

[Bright Eyes]

37. Pat, whatever happened to that tsunami?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

39. "The Lord said, Pat... we both know you're a charlatan"

And you didn't hear him wrong.

[Fire Walk With Me]

41. What if God DID talk to Robertson one day, and the message didn't jibe with Pat's beliefs?

[AntiFascist]

43. BWAHAHAHA!

God then told him: "you are really Satan's spawn, you have fulfilled your purpose well."
