Run for your life
Right-wing televangelist Pat Robertson has an important message for Blue Oregonians:
"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8. On Wednesday, he added, "There well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest."

Obviously the entire west coast will be punished in advance for voting str8 Democrat in November.
Why should God wait until the votes are in? He already knows. Umm, of course so does everyone else.
May 18, '06
Ha! He may be correct about God's wrath, but it is the coastal red states that seem to the target.
May 18, '06
seems like this is a story that none of us can pass up today! Thank God we have Rev. Pat to liven up slow news days...
May 18, '06
Doesn't it seem like he should have a spot at the grocery store checkout line?

Us too, Kaza! Guess no one can pass up another idiotic bon mot from Pat.

Does anyone know of a good mental hospital we can check poor Pat into?
Is the tsunami only going to kill us poor evil liberals?
Roberts is so sick in the head he needs to be force fed medication.

I guess this would be one way to get Bush's poll numbers back into the 40s...
May 18, '06
OH SHIT!!! I better get my hip waders out of the garage - when did the Lord say this was coming?
May 18, '06
Well, God does have a little time on his hands since he finished bustin' up Trent Lott's house. (And, how does Robertson explain all those hailstorms and tornadoes in the bible belt?) Mysterious ways, my friends...
BTW, I've heard that Lott is consorting with the enemy (trial lawyers) to go after the insurance company for repair costs. Perhaps the insurance company's plan is to subpoena Robertson to testify that the damage was caused by "an act of God" and therefore not covered.

look, i know it seems like a safe bet to label Pat's latest prediction as crazy, but let us not forget the lesson we - and the Rehnquist family - learned when he called on God to create a vacancy on the Supreme Court
May 18, '06
Yeah, but the joke was kinda on Pat there since I doubt he had replacing the Conservative Rehnquist in mind.
Stevens is the guy who should be worried about pat's targeted prayers

As I noted in our piece, I'm a believer in Pat Power. When I was a freshman at William and Mary, Hurricane Gloria was bearing down on us, as well as Pat's 700 Club facilities in Virginia Beach. For the first time since the Civil War, the school cancelled classes for the next day. When we woke up from our hurricane party hangovers the next morning, the sky was azure blue and windless. The school (and 700 Club) had been spared! I hugged my neighbors (just the Judeo-Christian ones, of course) and praised God's favoritetest TV messenger.
(then since classes were cancelled, we went back to partying.)

We should start to pay attention when the animals, like well known chickenhawks, start to act strangely. Could mean the big one is coming soon.

Could be wishful thinking, but I suspect that tsunami might be encountered at the polls on election day.

Poor Pat.
He doesn't realize The Rapture has already come and gone.
The only person He took was Madaline Murry O'Hare ;-)

What's funny here is if some commie enviro doom-monger made the same prediction ya'll would be clamoring for the government to initiate a lifeboat distribution program -- like NOW!...before it's too late! When it gets right down to it, not a whole lot of practical difference between the radical right and the loony left is there? As far as what the two sides think the future holds, it's basically one biblical-style calamity after another.
May 18, '06
ROFLMAO - Russell. That was priceless!!!
May 18, '06
There goes the leader of the 666 Club again, shooting off his mouth. But seriously, as Billy Joel once said, "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, the sinners are much more fun."
Bring it on Pat, bring it on. That tsunami is likely to wash all of the GOP culture of corruption from office.
May 18, '06
Did i hear right? That Dean was kissing up to Robertson on his show? Did that really happen?
May 18, '06
Well if Pat said "If I heard the lord right about 2006..."...
we can be pretty sure we've got another year or two. (tin foil antenna aimed incorrectly by just a couple of degrees here on earth = off by a few planets out in space?)

unrelated question - what is a good Oregon conservatives meta site? i notice there is an Oregon Conservatives Blog Roll, but all the blogs are well, sorta lame. email me if you know of a good one, or post here. i've enjoyed Blue Oregon, for design and content.
May 18, '06
Joe- I'm not sure personally, but a good place to start is...
http://www.orblogs.com/
The site is a list of links with RSS feeds from their blog-roll... might fing one there.
I'm thinking there aren't any though, simply because republicans don't read. KIDDING!!! ;)

May 18, '06
Joey, head on over to gullyborg or nwrepublican. They've both got blogrolls. If they're lame, well, they're lame.
May 18, '06
At least NWRebpublican recognizes how horrible the GOP is right now...

Someone should write a book regarding the success of Pat Robertson's omens. What is his batting average? Has he ever gotten a hit channeling god?

This man, Pat Robertson, has no moral authority to determine where or who will be subject to a disaster. This is coming from a man with ties to cruel dictators Mobutu Sese Seko and Charles Taylor. Pat Robertson has investments in African death diamonds and gold in Liberia and Zaire. http://www.sullivan-county.com/news/pat_quotes/diamonds.html http://atheism.about.com/library/FAQs/rr/blrr_rob_taylor.htm

Isn't that the same Pat Robertson who predicted the world would come to an end in 1982 and that W would be KING of the world at the end of 2005?
Yup.
King of Hades, perhaps.

Well, since we're all gonna die, I dunno about the rest of you, but I'm gonna spend the rest of my time getting royally and repeatedly well-laid.

May 19, '06
There was a carpet store back in VA whose slogan was "get well-laid."
Cassandra, here's a primer: leftist hysteria over tsunamis--grounded in scientific inquiry Pat's hysteria over tsunamis--grounded in Pat's belief that God has him on speed dial.
See the SLIGHT difference?
