Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson, criticized by some evangelicals for comments about Venezuela’s president and Israel’s prime minister, lost a bid for re-election to the National Religious Broadcasters’ board of directors.
In the past few months, Robertson suggested that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez should be assassinated and that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s stroke was divine punishment for pulling out of the Gaza Strip. Many speculate this is the cause of God’s disfavor with Robertson and caused his removal from the Board.

Robertson believes that, in His role as Omniscient Real Estate Broker, the Creator of the Universe has selected a specific dry, desert area of His universe located on our planet’s surface and promised that area to at least one specific race of humans. Robertson could not be reached for comment on wether in his view this included those of Asian decent with no direct lineage to Abraham, but had adopted the modernized version of the Jewish faith and chosen to live in Israel.
What about the possibility of pulling out of Iraq, letting Iran invade and lose resources fighting their own kind,
and then come in and mop up the dregs?
What goal does that accomplish?
Is this gonna end someday??
