Israel stops contact with Robertson

Israel has suspended contact with evangelist Pat Robertson for suggesting Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s stroke was divine punishment for withdrawing from the Gaza Strip.

The controversy has cast doubt on plans for a Christian tourism center that would showcase the growing flow of money and influence from U.S. church groups.

The religious far right strikes again with their neverending capacity to piss off everyone

    Or in the Judeo-Christian vernacular, ‘….you reap what you sow’

    Yes, and you once again show your anti-Semitic views.

    Anti-Semitic? In your dream world, Ian.

    Let me get this straight Ian,

    Robertson defames and insults the leader of Israel, and Israel responds by cutting ties…

    and Oliver is the anti-semite.

    Weird logic you’ve got there.

    No, Ian, this just proves that Oliver’s original thesis, that Pat Robertson is some super powerful fundamentamentalist, is horse hockey.

    Well Frank, he’s a bit less super powerful now! Horse hockey: isn’t that polo?

    bryan, did you even understand my comment? I suspect you did not.

    Oh, sure. Now he’s sorry:

    Wrote Robertson, “I ask your forgiveness and the forgiveness of the people of Israel for remarks I made at the time concerning the writing of the holy prophet Joel and his view of the inviolate nature of the land of Israel.”

    It’s all fun and games until somebody loses a theme park.

    What’s as crass now as when he called for Chavez’ assassination is the way he only understands afterwards how such comments could be considered less than politic.

    Ian’s accusation makes no sense.
