And the asshole of the year award goes to...
Pat Robertson's comments don't really come as a shock anymore, but what is shocking about this clip is the young black woman standing next to him nodding her head in agreement with everything that asshole says.
Talk about brainwashed.
Being a religious figure really gives you a licence to say whatever you want, no matter how irrational. It's like James Bond's licence to kill...
first of all, not only is robertson a douche, but he's not even a factual douche... since that haiti story is like, you know, an urban legend.
secondly, to call robertson a televangelist is to give him too much credit. he's a carny faith healer from the 70s that somehow made it big.
you can read about the rest of his history of being a douche here
