[Selznak]

A plaintiff in a federal lawsuit against Pat Robertson says the televangelist threatened his life and that of his family...

We've got a "threat" that no one else heard, by a man trying to sue someone else with deep pockets.

Honestly, I've lost most of my respect for Rev. Robertson. He seems to have embraced the world at the expense of the Word. However, this seems like someone trying to garner attention for a failed lawsuit. After all, you don't represent yourself if you've got a case. Given Robertson's bankbook, any ambulance chaser would jump on board if there was any hope of winning.

It sounds like someone doing their best to bring down Robertson because they don't like his viewpoint. There's always someone after him, it seems.I just can't see him making such a silly threat--knowing he's in the crosshairs of the media. I certainly don't agree with everything Pat says or does, but I think he's okay. He just needs to think things through before he speaks.

Pat Robertson is, as they used to say, entering his dotage (if not being already *in* his dotage).

People need to start politely ignoring his more "kooky" utterances.

I really wish Pat would just be quiet. He makes outrageous statements that he can never support. Why can't he realize that he is causing the faith more harm than God. Anyone capable of rational thought ignores him already. Maybe if he did stop being such an attention harlot (sorry for my ghetto terminology) maybe everyone would get off his back and stop with the frivolous lawsuits.

I think he did it, whole heartedly. But if Pat threatens to kill someone, they probably deserve it. Like Sandra Day O'Connor.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Pat Robertson pulled off something like this.

I highly doubt this - unless they provide some proof, I think they're taking advantage of his unfortunate previous comments.
Leave the poor man alone

Pat Robertson is a great man, who's done alot to spread the gospel around the world. I don't always agree with him, but as a brother in Christ, I love him and hope that God continues to use him.

I wouldn't be surprised if it turn out to be true Pat Robertson has been making crazy statements for years.

Double post sorry I'm having problems with my computer.
