Good thing not many of us wanted to vote for him.
Of course nothing can compare to Pat blaming natural disasters on abortions, homosexuality, and pacts with the devil. Jesse doesn't even come close to Pat's craziness, or greediness.

The anti religious leftist are the problem not Christians...Funny liberals only seem to like less observant Christian haters. They'd prefer to shut the more observant Christians up, and promote Sodomy, gay marriage, and Abortion.
Choose your friends wisely.
The Christians appear as friends, the Zionist ones do, because they see you as a means to an end that in the long run will perish beneath their feet.
Not all Christians, but some.
Alone the fact that to many Right-Wing Christians, the fate of us Jews according to their end-times eschatology, is more important than actual live, breating people before them right now, should maybe tell us something.
Ideas are important. Ideas change the world. But people are still more important than ideas, imo.
Jroc also made a statement to me somewhere that I was referring to all Christians, but I am not. Right-Wing Christians do not comprise the majority of Christians throughout the world.
Evangelicals are about 14% of all of Christianity and the last time I looked, 14% is not the majority. So, we are talking about a minority here:
Major World Christian Denominations, Rank, Size, Members, Adherents, Number Born Again; # in Christ's Congregation - Belief Bits.com
Since Vatican II, the Roman Catholic Church has taken a decidedly different look at Jews and Judaism. Yes, you will hear some anti-semitic stuff from some Catholics, too, but they are also in the minority.
And there are left-leaning Christian churches who do not necessarily believe in the end-times eschatology (which appears to be the flash-point for Right-Wing Christian Zionism, their brand of Zionism). But I bet that many Righties may just come out and say that those Left-leaning Christians are not Christians at all. That's their call, I'm a Jew, I can't and won't even try to judge that one.
I know and am good friends with a number of Evangelicals, very nice, decent people who love G-d in their own way and are very supportive of Israel and Jewry without the kind of junk that Robertson says.
The point of the OP remains. And I even wrote in the OP, I am not even sure what Robertson said is outrage-worthy, but it is yet one more sign of his latent anti-semitism.
And yes, [MENTION=48060]guno[/MENTION], Hagee did say that the Holocaust was part of G-d's plan, but I have also heard at least 3 Rabbis say this. Now, context, as always, is important, but the huge question that came after the holocaust of WHY???? --- is one for which many are still looking for the answer. If Hagee was speaking from a purely theological standpoint, the theology to which he subscribes, I cannot fault him for this one statement (although I personally don't like the statement at all). Robertson, on the other hand, goes far too easily into stereotypes of us Jews.
Well, let's see. I'm a Jew and I have:
-put roofs on houses.
-completely rewired houses.
-worked at a tree nursery, literally lifting and delivering pine trees and done landscaping.
-painted houses.
-worked as a Janitor.
-repaired autos.
And yes, I have mowed many lawns in my life.
I know many Jews who do hands on labor. It's part of life.
So, in my book, Robertson's statements are FAR more insidious than Hagee's statements. That's my view.
