Pat Robertson is an Idiot Part II

But who's counting? I'd say that Pat Robertson is the far left's best weapon by virtue of his sheer ability to make Christians sound like a bunch of brain dead zealot moonbats. Leave it to him to make such an asinine statement at a time like this.

Television evangelist Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, which Robertson opposed.

"He was dividing God's land, and I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the [European Union], the United Nations or the United States of America,'" Robertson told viewers of his long-running television show, "The 700 Club."

"God says, 'This land belongs to me, and you'd better leave it alone,'" he said.

Robertson's show airs on the ABC Family cable network and claims about 1 million viewers daily.

What an embarrassment to thinking people this lunatic is. It is all God's land. Sharon was earnestly trying to make peace, unlike Robertson, who really is the antithesis of what Christ defined as holy.

If ever there was someone who really needed to take a vow of silence..

Hence my aversion to religion.

Robertson is hardly the only person to make this argument.
It certainly crossed my mind. However, who am I to presume to know the judgement of God?
Robertson knows no such humility or dignity.

I respected Sharon for commanding Unit 101 and then as a brigade and division general. However, his political decisions have been rather checkered.
Turning over Israeli land to Hamas and Fatah makes me ill.

On the other hand, I did see a sense of irony in the death of Yitzak Rabin, given his hand in the Altalena incident.
Rabin had ordered Haganah artillery to fire on a ship carrying refugees as well as munitions and weapons for the Irgun. Ben Gurion had already declared that all militias should be brought under his command and ordered Rabin to take all necessary measure to prevent the landing of the ship.
