[lace-chat] Pat Robertson speaks up, sadly again

[bookbinder]

Someone on another list just sent this along, and it is so preposterous as to 
be a joke.  But then Pat Robertson is pretty much a sick joke.  Sorry if many 
of the American cultural references are not familiar to everyone on the list 
but thought I'd share anyway, Sue Ellen.

ROBERTSON BLAMES HURRICANE ON CHOICE OF ELLEN DEGENERES TO HOST EMMYS

Hollywood – Pat Robertson on Sunday said that Hurricane Katrina was God’s 
way of
expressing its anger at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its 
selection
of Ellen Degeneres to host this year’s Emmy Awards. “By choosing an avowed 
lesbian
for this national event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God’s 
wrath,”
Robertson said on “The 700 Club” on Sunday. “Is it any surprise that the 
Almighty
chose to strike at Miss Degeneres’ hometown?”

Robertson also noted that the last time Degeneres hosted the Emmys, in 2001, the
September 11 terrorism attacks took place shortly before the ceremony.

“This is the second time in a row that God has invoked a disaster shortly 
before
lesbian Ellen Degeneres hosted the Emmy Awards,” Robertson explained to his 
approximately
one million viewers. “America is waiting for her to apologize for the death 
and 
destruction that her sexual deviance has brought onto this great nation.”

Robertson added that other tragedies of the past several years can be linked to 
Degeneres’ growing national prominence. September, 2003, for example, is both 
the
month that her talk show debuted and when insurgents first gained a foothold in 
Iraq following the successful March invasion. “Now we know why things took a 
turn
for the worse,” he explained.

In order to avoid further tragedy, Robertson called not only for the Television 
Academy to find a new heterosexual host, but to bar all homosexuals and 
bisexuals
from taking part in the ceremony.

He said employees at the Christian Broadcasting Network had put together a list 
of 283 nominees, presenters, and invited guests at the Emmys known to be of 
sexually
deviant persuasions.

“God already allows one awards show to promote the homosexual agenda,” 
Robertson
declared. “But clearly He will not tolerate such sinful behavior to spread 
beyond
the Tonys.”
