I brought race into the poll, when I should have left it out and let you provide your own theories about this in the comments. Mea culpa. But feel free to disagree below!

We have had more than our fair share of Pat Robertson's bullshit. Though, I guess I should be thankful for his presence....at least he prays away the hurricanes. -->insert eye-roll here<--</p>
There are pages of examples of the racist, anti-semitic, anti-gay, anti-woman and anti-anythingnotwhitechristianmale from the pompous asshole. I am frustrated with both Clinton and Obama for appearing on CBN....he and the channel/program he started should be shunned by all Democrats.
Just my 2 cents.

On 9/11/2001, where he said on live TV that the attack was God's revenge against America for tolerating gays and abortionists, even as the monitors behind him showed the buildings coming down.
By analogy think of a commentator on December 7, 1941, saying, as Imperial Japan was in the midst of attacking Pearl Harbor, that the attack was God's revenge against America for repealing prohibition.
We deserved it, did we? Treasonous wretch, may he burn a very special hell of his own making.

I thought Jerry said that on Robertson's program.
The White House told Falwell to retract, or not be invited to the national memorial service at the National Cathedral. He did, but his son gave supporters a wink-wink nudge-nudge message by email or online, IIRC.
I think Robertson declined to actually repudiate Fallwell's comments and did a "blame the messenger" or misdirection.
Well Dayum! The Fat Lady just sang her tits right off!

It was Falwell onRobertson's program:
JERRY FALWELL: And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way--all of them who have tried to secularize America--I point the finger in their face and say "you helped this happen." PAT ROBERTSON: Well, I totally concur, and the problem is we have adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government. And so we're responsible as a free society for what the top people do. And, the top people, of course, is the court system.

Yes, Falwell always had a special thrill for "pointing the finger in (peoples') faces."
Really showed his character there. A finger-pointer, someone who got his big thrill in life from being more righteous than thou. God!, how I despise that sort of personality.
Here's me wishing he'd dropped dead while having sex with someone other than his spouse. And been caught at it.
At very minimum someone should have checked the surfaces under his desk for traces of "DNA."

McCain called the U.S. a Christian Nation.
ADL, who has already said that Obama has done enough to denounce Farrakahn, was specfically unhappy with McCains half-hearted backtracking on his statements.
McCain... the real antisemitic and racist candidate.
