Vroom, whats the problem here?? These guys have already admitted that they’re right-wing shills who cheer for their “side” like it’s a baseball game. You could no more reasons with hacks like this as you could with leftist nuts like Chomsky. They’re two sides of the same coin.
I really dont get your motivation in trying to call them out or provoke reasonable and objective concessions.
Anyways, back to the lunatic Robertson. Here are some other quotes of his: OSama Bin Robertson anyone?
We have a court that has essentially stuck its finger in God’s eye. We have insulted God at the highest levels of our government. Then, we say, “Why does this happen?” It is happening because God Almighty is lifting His protection from us.
– Pat Robertson, blaming American lifestyles for bringing God’s judgement upon us in the form of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, in a three-page statement released Thursday, September 13, 2001,
This is God’s power and he sent this thing to warn us … we needed a shock.
– Pat Robertson, remarking on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001
I think we ought to close Halloween down. Do you want your children to dress up as witches? The Druids used to dress up like this when they were doing human sacrifice… [Your children] are acting out Satanic rituals and participating in it, and don’t even realize it.
– Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, October 29, 1982
The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.
– Pat Robertson, fundraising letter, 1992
God’s pattern is for men to be the leaders, both in the church and in the family… “Women should listen and learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them.”
– Pat Robertson, reciting a passage from I Timothy in his book, Bring It On, quoted from Nicholas D. Kristof, “Peter, Paul, Mary … and God” (The New York Times: February 28, 2004) ??
I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that’s the way it is, period.
– Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, January 8, 1992
If the widespread practice of homosexuality will bring about the destruction of your nation, if it will bring about terrorist bombs, if it’ll bring about earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor, it isn’t necessarily something we ought to open our arms to.
– Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, August 6, 1998, on the occasion of the Orlando, Florida, Gay Pride Festival 199
I would warn Orlando that you’re right in the way of some serious hurricanes, and I don’t think I’d be waving those flags in God’s face if I were you.
– Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, August 6, 1998, on the occasion of the Orlando, Florida, Gay Pride Festival 1998

Pat Robertson is no more a voice for the right than Jesse Jackson/MMoore/AL Sharpton/George Soros is for the left.
I admit to being a right wing conservative. I have also admitted to not supporting what Robertson says. But in your haste to sound really, really big and tough, you must have overlooked that fact, huh?
If me simply being honest makes me a schill - please tell us what that makes you? All I see is someone that is so filled with hate for Pat Robertson that he has taken the time to track down emabarassing quotes.
What does that make you? A free thinker? A renegade? I’ll tell you what it makes you - a hypocrite. Good god - at least have enough intellectual honesty to admit you are just as much a partisan hack as you accuse me of being.
What’s that? No - your hatred of Pat Robertson most certainly does not mean you are an independent thinker.
