RELATED: Robertson is still selling his Age-Defying Energy Shake, which he claims enabled him (in 2006 at the age of 76) to leg press 2000 pounds, which is at least 500 pounds more than the world record.

In today’s “Bring It Online” segment on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson fielded an email from an elderly woman who is living on Social Security and wonders if it would be a sin to stop tithing in order to help pay her sick husband’s medical bills. Robertson responded: “Read carefully what the bible has to say in Malachi. He says, …

It’s really strange, if not necessarily surprising, that the anti-gay hate industry is going nuts about San Antonio when virtually identical non-discrimination laws have existed for years and years in many states and municipalities. Pat Robertson on San Antonio: “If you speak up about your beliefs, they’ll put you in jail! They’ll brand you some kind of Class Three felon!”

Kudos, as always, to Right Wing Watch.

Pat Robertson’s Operation Blessings “charity” is threatening to sue the filmmakers behind Mission Congo, a documentary which claims that the charity scammed millions intended for African relief. In an email Thursday, Chris Roslan, a spokesman for Operation Blessing, said allegations in the production company’s film promotion and the listing in the film festival website were false and defamatory and, “We …

From the Guardian: Mission Congo, by David Turner and Lara Zizic, opens at the Toronto film festival on Friday. It describes how claims about the scale of aid to Rwandan refugees were among a number of exaggerated or false assertions about the activities of Operation Blessing which pulls in hundreds of millions of dollars a year in donations, much of …

The British LGBT rights group Stonewall has short-listed Scott Lively and Pat Robertson for their 2013 Bigot Of The Year award.  Gay Star News recaps the three other nominees: British vicar George Gebauer stunned parents Aimi and Victoria Leggett when he refused to baptize their baby because they both wanted to be named as the child’s mothers. Not only that, …

Right Wing Watch has posted excerpts from the 700 Club many, many times over the years. But very curiously, today’s now infamous clip of Pat Robertson’s douchetastic lie about gay men has been yanked from YouTube due to a copyright claim by the Christian Broadcasting Network. We’re confident that RWW will soon be able to re-post the clip as it …

“I was asked by a viewer whether she had a right to leave her church because she had been asked to transport an elderly man who had AIDS and about whose condition she had not been informed. My advice was that the risk of contagion in those circumstances was quite low and that she should continue to attend the church …

This is possibly the most outrageous thing Pat Robertson has ever said. Today on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson told co-host Terry Meeuwsen that gay men in cities like San Francisco attempt to spread HIV/AIDS to others by cutting them with a special ring when shaking hands. However, one could not hear Robertson make the remarks on the episode his …

Three days ago I noted Pat Robertson’s surprisingly sympathetic commentary on transgender people. That post got a lot of notice and the attacks on Robertson have begun. From the anti-gay LifeSiteNews: Traditional Christians have condemned such actions as a form of self-mutilation since the days of the ancient church. Speaking specifically of castration, the Apostolic Canons, a fourth century Syrian …

Bring It Online is the daily portion of Pat Robertson’s CBN show where he answers questions from viewers.  Today he was asked the above question and his answer, while far from perfect, was rather surprising. “I don’t understand all that, but I think they are men who are in a woman’s body. It’s very rare, but it’s true. [snip] I …

Pat Robertson’s CBN grossed over $487 million in FY12, according to the Evangelical Council for Fiscal Accountability, a group to which CBN reports. As astounding as that figure is, it’s still down significantly from CBN’s 2010 gross of $747 million.

Brian Tashman responds at Right Wing Watch: Pat Robertson is disturbed that people, for whatever reason, might believe that he is somehow anti-gay. After all, how could blaming gays for 9/11, warning that gay rights will destroy America, using anti-gay slurs, linking homosexuality to pedophilia and disease and saying that Facebook should create a ‘vomit’ button specifically for pictures of …
