Robertson & Manson: Tuesdays on FOX

Pat Robertson, who in the past has blamed 9/11 on the ACLU, abortionists, feminists, gays, and lesbians, made a statement right in line with that way of thinking this past Sunday, when he stated on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos that non-Judeo Christians should never serve as American judges, and that liberals (particularly liberal judges) are a greater threat to America that al-Qaeda, Hitler or Stalin. Crooks and Liars has the video.

This guy should be completely irrelevant, but he's not. He's dead center in the heart of both the Christian conservative community and this White House. And that gets him on purportedly serious Sunday talk shows like This Week.

We need to bring back shunning. It's what the Puritans did when someone got out of line. They wouldn't talk to the person, wouldn't look at them, do nothing but boo and hiss at them on the street. It won't reform Pat Robertson, but he'd be getting what he deserves.

This is a guy who defends a callous murderer like Charles Taylor of Liberia because he makes a good business partner. I actually am praying right now that there is a heaven so that Pat Robertson will have to pass right by it on his way to hell.
