Today's Passing

"Pat Robertson passed away..."

Fuck the euphemisms - that fucker is fuckin' dead.

American Christian conservative Pat Robertson died at age 93 at his Virginia home, the Christian Broadcasting Network said in a statement on Thursday.

Robertson founded the network in 1960 and used the flagship program "The 700 Club" for prayer offerings and political commentary. In 1980, the show helped to galvanize support among Christian conservatives for Ronald Reagan's successful campaign for president.

Nicknamed "Pat" by his older brother, he was born Marion Gordon Robertson in Lexington, Virginia, in 1930.

Pat Robertson was a hateful bigot, a full blown hypocrite, and a loud voice of the toxic notion of Christian nationalism.

He blamed 9/11 on gay people - because Pat's God was so angry with them He felt the need to murder thousands of Americans - and he scolded his followers about gambling even though he owned racehorses.

I'm not particularly glad he's dead, but I'm not all broke up about it either. He will not be missed around here.
