from a Christian man of god is mind-boggling to me.

Simply mind-boggling.

Pat Robertson doesn't speak for me! (none / 0) (#2)
He is a member of the Taliban wing of the Republican party. If Bush and other leading R's do not disavow themselves from Robertson's comments, they will seriously damage their Christian support.  By that, I mean actual Christians, not power hungry rightwingers.

As disgusting as Pat's comments are, it may cause a split in Christian political groups. It may open a few eyes.

Hey TheOtherWashington! (none / 0) (#3)
Great to see you here!  You said it very well.  Christians, regardless of political affiliation, should disavow themselves from his latest comments.
