How many times to the inmates at Kos and DU come down hard on a prominent lib for saying something equally deranged?

There are thousands of reasonable and sane evangelicals in this country. When was the last time you saw one interviewed? Pat Robertson is prominent and quoted *because* he is an idiot.

The Israelis should have operated on him last week first of all. The guy is 78 and they're assuming powerful blood thinners aren't dangerous to be on any longer than you have to be. They likely caused a stroke due to leakage or breakage of a blood vessel as oppposed due to a minor clot that the small hole in his heart (from birth) caused a few weeks earlier. And then after they drained the blood they had to go back in and do it again due to the twice a day blood thinners he was taking. And that doesn't even consider that they didn't rush him by helicopter or even drive him to the nearest freekin hospital in Bersheba, they took him to Jerusalem. AGAIN - This is the country with the supposed top doctors, trauma units and response teams in the world..... If Bush swallows a friggin pretzel he's flown to an Emergency Room fer Chris sakes~!!!! And he's 50 something and in good shape. See my post on this.

I’m not real up on the Bible — what’s it say is the punishment for being a fucking idiot?

Looks like about 95% are saying Robertson's an idiot. One or two are citing scripture in support of his point.
