A: We are DEVO!

I guess God figures that in Robertson's case, a hideous and disfiguring disease would be kind of superfluous.

Remember when Falwell said God had let 9/11 happen because America has gotten too depraved?

Good times.

He's our Al Sharpton.

Why did God create Pat Robertson? That was a dick move.

I think God lost a bet or something.

The question is; why bad things happen to good people? Because, bad things happen to all people. It too bad that Pat Robertson can't preach about God's love, and grace and forgiveness, when he takes his place on the public stage.

The story you linked to says his pupils are responsive to light. Undoubtedly, he has brain damage, but he's not dead.

I'm hoping the man still has a few hellfire missiles left to launch.

I saw that the esteemed ruler of Iran just released a statement saying he HOPED Sharon was dead.

More interesting times ahead.

Sullivan: Robertson = Ahmadinejad.

Only Andy could shoot for a target as big as Robertson and still miss.

Dear Pat,

Please stop making this shit up. It's hard enough to get people to believe in me nowadays, what with those crazy-ass muslims acting like lunatics in my name.

Only Andy could shoot for a target as big as Robertson and still miss.

Ouch.

I just love how the left always tries to tar all conservatives with the big, stupid brush that is Pat Robertson. Robertson has about as much influence on White House policy as I do, and since Kevin Federline was allowed to make an album instead of being deported to Kenya, my amount of influence is a big zero. Note to Sob Sister Sullivan and his band of merry morons; we think Roberstson is as big a clown as you do, we just don't work ourselves into a fit of sanctimony over him.

The Bible contains a commandment against taking God's name in vain. Maybe Pat should read that part.

"Like many leftists, he simply is incapable of distinguishing between domestic political opponents or rivals from foreign military threats and enemies. The language of war is used for both." - Ace or Allah

Actually, the left does make a distinction - they hate their domestic politcal oppponents while they fear foreign military threats and enemies. And they hate far more than they fear, and have convinced themselves that their political opponents are the reason we have enemies. In other words, in their view, there's no a problem in the world that can't be solved by defeating the Republicans.

This is what I mean when I say that just because somebody 'says' they're a Christian doesn't necessarily mean they are one. I contend TV evangelists have done more harm to Christianity then anybody else could ever imagine doing. I urge my fellow Christians to STOP SENDING THESE ASSHATS MONEY!

Are they gonna haul his ass to Paris and put him on life support for a couple of weeks until they can figure out where all the money is stashed?

I guess maybe not.

You know what's quite intriguing? During the build-up of opposition in certain parts of Israel to the disengagement, a group of rabbis got together and did a pulsa de nura prayer (evidently a lethal, rarely-used, ancient Qabbalistic prayer) against Ariel Sharon (shlit"a).

You know who else had a pulsa de nura prayer prayed against him? Yitzchak Rabin (z"t), shortly before he was assassinated.

Pulsa de nura on Yitzchak Rabin - assassinated.
Pulsa de nura on Ariel Sharon - sudden stroke followed by brain hemorrhage some time later.
Coincidence?

Now, if they'd put it to good use and cast one on Ahmadinezhad, Saddam, Osama bin Ladin, az-Zarqawi, az-Zawahiri and whoever are heading Hamas, Hizbollah, Fatah, and other terrorist groups. Unless it can be used only against Jews. Hmmmmm.

What Wikipedia has to say about pulsa de nura.

A Chicago rabbi explains pulsa de nura, how it's less a curse and more a plea to G-d to judge and punish someone. He includes the text of the curse (in Hebrew; he refuses to translate it). Note: clicking on this link will open up a pdf file.

Food for thought.

Dont forget that god and moses used the 10 pleages to force egypt to release the isreslites and he will use floods,drought,hurricanes,tornados and other things to do what he can he probibly brought the hurricane against New Orleans for all the adult buisnesses they have now what will happen will he stage another EARTHQUAKE in SAN FRANCISCO?

I think unless G-d has personally announced to His chosen representative - and one does not exist who is accept by large numbers of people - why He has done anything, I think it's safe to say that our only appropriate responses are awe in face of His abilities and ignorance as to His reasons. It's a bit presumptuous for anyone to claim he/she knows why G-d did something. Is that someone claiming to be G-d's prophet?

ahem. That was not me above. I certainly would never cuss. I know it's hard to figure out who is talking to you, me or the "other guy" but here is a hint...I don't comment on world affairs. If I am speaking to you, it will be ABOUT you. Nothing else.

The voices in your head are not me.

I am the voice in your heart.

I couldn't read the line, "Sharon's Brain Badly Damaged: Hospital Source-- Won't be long now," without imagining the scene at the hospital:

Machine: Beep, boop.
Gov't official: How is he?
Dr: It's very grave.
Machine: Beep, boop.
Dr: We fear there's brain damage.
Machine: Beep, boop.
Dr: Already, the lion of Israel is no more. A great intellect has passed. There is barely enough left in poor Ariel to breathe -- all his higher brain functions are surely gone.
Machine: Beep, boop.
Sharon: Gurgle...
Gov't official: Wait, he...
Sharon: Allahu Akbar!
Machine: Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

On a more serious note, I sincerely hope that he can recover and my thoughts are with him and his family.

I've never much cared for Deuteronomy 34:4, and profoundly regret that the man who did so much for his nation might not live to see the flowering that so soon may come to pass. Once Arafat, the Opponent's queen, was moved off the chessboard, Sharon has lead the endgame....and the pace has been interesting.

Damn, I gotta get to work on a treatment for a SF flick named "Sharon's Brain"! I can steal the plot from "Donovan's Brain", file off the serial numbers, change a couple of names and voila!...

Ka-ching!
