Pat Robertson Endorses Rudy Giuliani

So, apparently the “values” of the “Values Voter” include infidelity, divorce, tolerance of homosexuality, cross-dressing, mob ties and bearing false witness. Cool.

As Will Bunch says, strange bedfellows, indeed.

Judging by all the GOP scandals one reads about every other week: yes.

Value candidate? Sure thing Pair of frauds exposed.

Is the next natural disaster going to happen because God is punishing Pat Robertson for endorsing Rudy?

John Samsonite Says:

i think Robertson’s claim that we invited 9/11 because we tolerate gays is the best point to bring up in this case. it should be on every article discussing his “endorsement” of Rudy, the 9/11 candidate himself.

Is this the same as admitting gays into the church pat?

It is about being in good with the winner.

If Revelations said that eventually Satan vanquishes God, how many people would be on the losing side today?

The only religion I’m aware of that fighting on the side of right, was both honorable and futile, is the Norse. And they aren’t a dominant religion anymore.

I just don’t know what to make of this. Except that possibly the extreme religious right in this country has gone completely bonkers and we are witnessing the detonation of its self-implosion.

Gregor Says:

I guess he’s just commiting himself to the necessary evil that is a Giuliani candidacy. He appears to be the clear Republican front-runner and thus Robertson supports him in order to prevent any Satanic Democrat from winning. Imagine a Clinton-White House!

13
liberalista Says:

So Pat said he has “contemplated” this decision for months. What? He didn’t “pray”? You mean God didn’t tell him to endorse Rudy, he just thought about it like the rest of us Godless liberals do?

This is wildly funny. What glaring hypocrisy.

I can see americans going for this and voting for him

Will Rudy wear his best dress to pick up the endorsement?

“Buckle Up”

Iran says it reaches nuclear milestone
AP - 2 hours, 3 minutes ago

BIRJAND, Iran - Iran has reached a milestone in its nuclear program, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday, suggesting that the country now has 3,000 uranium-enriching centrifuges fully operating.

Can some reporter please ask Rudy if he agrees with Pat that we deserved 9/11?
BARF!

Who woulda thunk it! Well, they both hate brown people…that’s a pretty strong common thread in brotherhoods.

(squinting my eyes like I’m taking a shit) Pray with me. The Lord is sending me a vision…..the GOP is done.

Mark Says:

Blah. Move along no news here. Just another case of Satan being endorsed by Satan.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish`d rows of steel,
“As ye deal with my contemners, So with you my grace shall deal;”
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

feelingblueandlovingit Says:

Well, we knew the part about ‘bearing false witness’ already…he endorsed W.

And he only identifies himself as a broadcaster to get around the laws that ban churches from political activities. Does he still need to bother with that?

L.A. Confidential Says:

Glory! Glory! Mr. RoBeRtSoN!!!!!!!!!!!

Margaret Says:

You forgot hypocrisy and of course that doesn’t matter because Pat Robertson is about as religious as I am, (which is not at all), he is and has always been about nothing but money and access to power. Religion is just his vehicle.

31
gpac Says:

I know it was supposed to be sarcastic and all, but I for one certainly DO think that tolerance of homosexuality is a “cool” value. I’m not exactly sure why you decided to throw that one in with all the other negative ones, but okay.

Congratulations, Rudy. You are welcome to him.

Guliani: A noun, a verb, and 9/11.
Robertson: A noun, a verb, and evil.

A perfect match of hypocrites.

redratio1 Says:

Hello? Pat Robertson thinks we DESERVED 9/11.
Rudy is RUNNING on 9/11!!!!
WTF!?!?!

The values lobby will always be the most intrinsically values-challenged.

Redradar Says:

The only thing either one of these two clowns are interested in, is cash flow.

Blue Buddha Says:

We all knew that Robertson wouldn’t endorse Romney, because “he one of dem Mormuns.” Pat would endorse Satan before Mitt, and it looks he just did.

Thank you Pat Robertson for not endorsing a Democrat. We can use all the help we can get, except yours.

So is Pat four square behind war and torture too? What a guy!

40
Joe O. Says:

I think Robertson is willing to overlook Guiliani’s lack of “values” because Guiliani is the closest Republican front runner that is willing to carry out Robertson’s apocalyptic views.

L.A. Confidential Says:

Snip

“Getting your head into a different kind of reality than the ’spoon-fed’ stuff that is passed out on corpmedia is a little challenging at times: friends won’t believe you, and when you call BS on the high consumptive/ego-driven/conspicuous consumption lifestyle, you’re bound to lose a few friends along the way who will cling to the old paradigm like their life depends on it. In return, you’ll get scorn, denial, and a much smaller circle of friends. But, as times change in ways that seem to be evolving linguistically, you at least will have the good sense, in financial terms, to pull the plug correctly and not get sucked into the ‘framed decisions’ that will be put before you.”

42
moondancer Says:

I wonder if Robertson will change the church rules a little bit to reflect the newest saint. I guess incest, adultery, crossdressing, compulsive lying will become sacraments in his video-church of whites only to honor Giuliani.

With friends like Robertson, you automatically get enemies.

Mr. Mix,
I believe that’s a reference to Kerik.

gpac @ 31:

I was referencing the “Values Voters” who made gay rights and gay marriage wedge issues in previous elections. Tolerance of homosexuality is very cool (and the right thing to do)…but it isn’t common on the Republican side of the aisle. Rudy lived with a committed gay couple after Donna Hanover threw him out of the Gracie Mansion.

mister mix @ 24:

i never heard the mob ties one. seems guiliani did alot with putting the mob bosses behind bars as an attorney. what’s the rumor about mob ties?

Lindsay Beyerstein (go vote for her for individual blogger at weblog awards) has something on it and I’m pretty sure Steve Benen did a post on it here.

You’re absoultely wrong, and that’s what’s most scary of all. Robertson honestly and truly believes in what he preachs. The country would be much better off if all he cared about was money, but instead, he’s peaching this hatred and intolerance and fear to people all over, who will then start to honestly believe it and live their lives according to it.

Bernie Kerik told Pat to endorse Rudy or he’d wake up in a bathtub with a missing kidney

Actually it makes perfect sense.. They are both assholes…JD

That’s great. A nut job supporting another nut job

moniker Says:

So if you favor war, torture and the death penalty you’re a “values” voter? How satanic.

I think the right to use torture is this year’s value to the value voters.

Hey it worked for the cathoholics for centuries! *snark*

Here you go, Mr. Mix.

Rudy seems to be claiming that as Mayor of New York city that he just was not smart enough to realize that his buddy Kerik was mobbed up.

More like a match made in Hell if you ask me. But, then again, Hell and Heaven are interchangeable from Robertson’s Machiavellian perspective.  As long as the “ends justify the means”, Robertson has no problem with it.

I think the career center at Regent U., urged Pat to get behind Rudy. /s

neil Says:

Maybe Giuliani promised to invade Venezuela and have Chavez executed.

60
Rico Says:

Agree that there’s no news here unless Robertson is later discovered to be a plant from the farther right to sink Giuliani. I wouldn’t put it past them. I mean…these folks have stolen national elections. For them this is nothing.

Bush the Liar Says:

Pat and Rudy probably like playing dress-up together.
