Robertson: Christians should not join Occupy Wall Street

[MrVillabolo]

Go to Gehenna you Mammon worshipping Pharisee! Jesus would puke on your face.

[charadester]

Robertson and the wealthy elite are playing right into the hands of the Occupy movement. Like Gaddafi, Mubarek, and Assad, he's demonstrating a genuine fear as well as making the very statements that will bolster the cause and guarantee its success. Keep it up, Pat. We all know that when your empire and your personal security is threatened, you'll be on the first ship or plane out of the country, along with Bush, Perry, Cain, and Cheney and chanting "Pull the ladder, I'm up", the GOP mantram.

[rickuj]

Mess up a park,you rich non-tax paying bastards took my fuckin' house!

[familyman20]

I believe the bible teaches that a christian SHOULD NOT! participate in neither the tea party or occupy wall street,  NEITHER ONE!

[thecenter26]

This man clearly has his head up his own ass.

[createallow3126]

Slipped into his dotage and still has the mic.

[swjedi101]

waste of space.

[Dubblaw101]

LMAO and this is the guy telling millions of people how to save their soul? He just pulled a quadruple entendre!! If he really understood that the people are fighting for just the things he listed and that the bible is a farce that if the real meaning behind it is not exposed will never free your mind, body and spirit?

Or maybe hes a televangelist banker and needs you to donate more money to him so he can gamble on wall streeeeet? either way FUCK THIS PATERSON HACK!

[RadarKat73080]

What footage is Pat watching? Yeah, Fox News somehow finds angry people but the best they can do is two or three people and a few seconds worth that seems violent.

[oregonatheist]

fuck you pat robertson you fuckin' retard.

[Dubblaw101]

@oregonatheist Yes FUCK this OLD SMELLY HACK

[otenacityo]

I wonder which master Robertson serves?

"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." (Matthew 6:24)

[Mantyszyger]

The world will get better when all of these older, obsolete human beings finally pass away.

I luv ya....but you're crazy...and wrong.

"And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all of them who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves."

— Matthew 21:12-13

[Marqus33308]

He just doesn't get it; does he?

[ronaldneil]

Pat, you are "formless and have no purpose."

[soccerfan065]

occupy wall street = patriot Americans

pat robertson= old man , idiot, moron , greedy , hypocrite , Satan worshipper .

and i am a christian

[7ranc3Addict]

i guess this guy would prefer people write strongly worded letters and pray instead of actually doing something useful to help the world

[dfgyuhdd]

Don't do as Jesus did and angrily flip the tables of the money changers or behave in accordance to Ananias and Sapphira of the book of Acts and distribute accumulated capital to the poor. Christian leaders are spiritually bankrupt.

[Bulldog22031]

As an atheist who's actually read the bible, I would like to remind Pat Robertson that Jesus himself was incredibly angry when he went to the temple and kicked out the businessmen. He'd be leading the protest. Furthermore, god promotes anger many times in the bible so long is it is not selfish anger, and so long as it is used for gods glory.

[merkingGuy]

everyone who is at every Occupy wants world peace, so shut the fuck up. And why do you have to ask if it's right to go to OWS as a Christian? Jesus would want you to be an individual

[StratoBlaster420]

Someone exterminate this piece of shit.

[UnitedBoycott]

He is an ignorant hypocrite and the viewer that wrote in obviously can't think for their self.

[coolestmcse]

Rev. Marthin Luther King did!!!

[JubileeTemple]

Pat, why say this? What have these people done? What are they doing that is anarchist in nature or violent, or anything non-Christian? Because they say things are not right in this country and we need to change it? Seriously, dude, you are out of touch. I have heard the current Christian mantra against these people from ministers who buy into your thoughts, and they label anyone who goes to an 'Occupy' event as a communist. Where do you get that?

[dereklafferty]

Remember that time at the Temple when Jesus was angered by the greed of the moneylenders and screamed and tore up things?

[chip571]

PAT IS A FALSE PREACHER "PROPHET" He's wealthy and supports the wealthy 1%. He supports greed and exploitation?

[sleeplesseye]

My response? watch?v=GjQEKDBJp2g

[ZackBlastoff]

Quite right! Protest for "righteousness" and not against greed or injustice.

If "christians" started speaking out on real issues where would we be?

[aestevalis0]

"Don't support this movement. It could cause all of us that extort your money in the name of Gawd and a promise of eternal bliss which will never happen to lose a fraction of the wealth we've bilked from our ignorant, brain-washed followers." That's what he's really saying.

[starscreamdkmo]

fuckyou pat robertson fuck you

[JoyceJeffersonTV]

GOD wants us to fight corruption!!! It's in the Bible!!! Join us in the REAL WORLD, Pat!

[WildFire0925]

I don't think he realizes how much he helps the Occupy movement when he opens his spiteful mouth and spews out his contempt and arrogance all over himself

[cgriffin1549]

of course... he could loose lots of money if the 1% loose thier tax breaks

[TheTrueDarkLordSatan]

Dear Pat Robertson,

I just wanted to tell you, your doing a wonderful job. Those sickeningly peaceful protesters have been bothering my faithful at Wall ST. I personally am pleased by the gusto you have put into the poverty stricken. I was beginning to worry I may loose some of my fallen when those protesters began to feed the homeless, and erecting tents for worship. With your help we may change that.

Yours deceptively, Satan

[signboyy]

what a surprise that the spritual institution (christianity) created by the wealthy elite during the middle ages are condemning people opposed to the other institution (banking) created by the wealthy elite during the middle ages.

the christian church, banking and other institutions were created by the super rich of the middle ages to work synergistically together to serve the interests of the super rich and their descendents of today.

[steiner11116]

i am a christian and i think this guy is nuts. this protest IS fighting opression and is not ruining a PUBLIC park.

[vidhead85]

Lifting the yoke of oppression and feeding the poor as well as fighting against policies that keep them poor is what OWS is doing you doi doi! And we wanted him to be our Pres at one time?

[Xenzod]

..... This message brought to you by Occupy Wall Street.

[elfootman]

only in america

[Josephjoel3]

Fuck god. Fuck this moron Pat Robertson. This guy makes millions off of gullible and stupid people. The very fact that people still have "beliefs" is a reflection on the intelligence of the human race. We are no more intelligent than flies and fleas.

[olllj]

allcaps comments here, how pathetic. christians downvoting this? pathetic. this exposes the scam and hypocricy of all religions. upvote.

[choops321]

Shame on him for spreading this ignorance and claiming to be a servant of Christ.

[drdeak]

FUCK RELIGION and PAT as well. It is the religions of the world that keeps war and wage slavery at the front of oppression of humankind. His Jesus got angry, as they wrote in their blind faith bibles. This tosser is dead from the neck up!

He and his stupid zombie sheep that follow him are what's wrong with the country.

[Skywardeyeprophet]

Says the multimillionaire. What an old fool.

[albanytimothy]

... Says the multimillionaire minister.

[antonfjordson]

i rebuke thee vile televangelist satan.

[digitalapocalypse]

Pat is a 1% club member.

For him to say this though regardless is not surprising from a man who acts like he speaks for god.

Pat has had a history of infamously saying stupid or outlandish things in the past after all.

[digitalapocalypse]

700 club?

more like the 1% Club.

[the1tigglet]

because the Christian Taliban says so, go on now go follow your masters.

[ArcadeGoblin]

fuck religion

[zEropoint68]

So now Jesus *doesn't* like the poor?

[TheTruePooka]

Sad to watch a rich old man who is totally out of touch with the real world speak.

[ivlfounder]

@TheTruePooka

It's both sad and funny that he doesn't know the majority of OWS likely are Christians.

[maltastic]

Go out and demonstrate for the same reasons OWS is demonstrating, but don't demonstrate with OWS!

[OtherGonzo]

Maybe if I ask it here I'll actually get a real response.

What is the goal of OWS?

Not what they are against, but what do the hope to accomplish? I've been trying to decide whether I'm for, against, or neutral toward these protests and until I get a real answer to my question I cannot decide.

[ivlfounder]

@OtherGonzo

I'm of the impression that they want the top 1% richest people in the country to pay the same ratio of taxes that they did under say Ronald Reagan.

[OtherGonzo]

@ivlfounder The top tax rate right now is higher than it was in the final years of President Reagan's second term.

[ivlfounder]

@OtherGonzo

Yet they pay less taxes in ratio to income than maids.

[OtherGonzo]

@ivlfounder 1. don't move the goalposts, I responded to your first statement, that response is still valid.

2. Unless you are talking some really well paid maids I doubt that. Many low wage earners qualify for EIC which means they pay no income tax.

3. You still haven't told me what the goal of OWS is. (unless you want to cut the top rate for income tax?)

[ivlfounder]

@OtherGonzo

I'm not moving any goal posts I was rather clear early on that it's a ratio problem.

[OtherGonzo]

@ivlfounder You never responded to the fact that the top rate right now is higher than it was when President Reagan left office, which was your original claim for a goal. So, I'm still waiting on that goal.

[ivlfounder]

@OtherGonzo

That's not what I've heard.

[zEropoint68]

@OtherGonzo I have to say that's a really good question, and it's definitely necessary, because the longer we go on without having clear communication from the OWS side on their goals, the more opportunity that gives corporate media to fill in the blank with whatever they want, and who knows just what that might be.

[esd2000]

This Nation "is" being destroyed, dimwit Pat. It's being destroyed, not by the wealthy, but by the greedy who just never have enough. They're blood thirsty savages who use their minions to do their dirty work.

[xNickTheBrickx]

Jesus was never rebellious or mad or in favor of socialistic intervention. Oh, wait, he might have been.

[xNickTheBrickx]

Jesus was never rebellious or mad or in favor of socialistic intervention

[IsisOsiris7]

I think, when you start being politically active from the pulpit that you should have smoked your tax exempt status. You should be talking about love thy neighbor and Jesus. NOT about politics. Because if you talk about politics, you are no longer behaving as a religious institution. And only religious institutions and institution for charity get to be tax exempt.

[scotttebben]

It is the flu season so try to avoid the god virus. The most common symptoms include:

An Irrational behavior of speaking to a make belief friend.

An overwhelming desire to display self righteousness.

An emotional sense of exuberance conveyed in a sophomoric superiority toward others.

An intolerance for ambiguity and things you don't understand.

If you or any loved ones show any of these symptoms, get immediate education.

[Texemosis]

what was that bible quote about the camel, the eye of the needle and rich people?

[TheVladimere9]

chrisitans dont rebel?

[BOLDSPIRITdotORG]

John 2:13-17

And the Jews' Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem

and found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and also the changers of money, sitting there.

And when He had made a scourge of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money and overthrew the tables.

And He said unto those who sold doves, "Take these things hence! Make not My Father's house a house of merchandise!"

[EpicurusIVXX]

i feel sooooo bad for RWW if they actually force them selves to watch hour after hour of this appalling rape of logic and human intellect day after day. someone should give you guys a vacation in Hawaii for a few months.

[brgulker]

CF this with his comments while the Tea Party was in its early stages. Stupid fucking moron.

[wowpapa]

Hey Pat Robertson, your one of the 1%. And they are trying to do all that you have talked about and they aren't radicals destroying the nation. Lunatic!

[luisdez81]

Jesus Occupied Jerusalem.

[luisdez81]

@luisdez81 Or so the myth says.

[liberalguy513]

Robertson needs to be ass raped with a chainsaw.

[mikek44224]

I wonder what his opinion of the American Revolution would be if it was happening right now.

[manmadesounds]

LOL

[sonoki82]

He is the .01%.

[ddwag1]

@sonoki82 Ironic, because that's how much percent of his brain he uses

[MpowerdAPE]

wow.... irony overload....

[pmdillavou]

That's easy. Robertson is not a true christian. No one that listens to him is a true christian. So none of them need to worry.

*

[colourmegone]

Mr Robertson is correct in stating that believing Christians should not participate the "Occupy" movement. There is a specific verse in the New Testament against such behaviour, "Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh."

It follows from this that neither should they participate in any other kind demonstration against oppression or poverty and so Mr Robertson is wrong in urging them to do so.

[NuyoRican530]

Seriously why won't this guy just croak already! I am so sick and tired of him spewing his ignorant bullshit and brainwashing so many vulnerable people! There is nothing American about this guy!

[kolomgorov]

Jesus would have occupied Wall Street.

[bozolazic]

Maybe Christians shouldn't but Jesus would!

[Blairtim69]

When is Pat going to pay taxes? He has been hiding money in his tax free church for decades.

I wonder if he is still using slaves to mine diamonds in Africa.

[deepashtray]

"... radicals who want to destroy this nation...." something like the Dominionist movement? I'll stick with the OWS crowd., particularly since they are targeting assholes like you, Pat.

[InContemplation]

Correcting this asshole doesnt matter, anyone who's been paying attention knows what the global occupy movement is about, Pat's lying through his teeth, the christian way.

[kgberve]

Sorry, Pat! As a Christian I am COMPELLED to stand up to opression and greed. And so should you!

[communistcothern]

Pat Robertson is out of touch with the American people.

[SeparateisntEqual]

Gotta LOVE those fake write-ins! Nothing like being spoon-fed by Pat Robertson, AKA THE DEVIL. Poor irrelevant old turd, so desperate to be involved somehow.

[Hdtexan]

Stupid old man.

[valupak]

Thanks for reminding us whose side you're on, greedy hustler!

[LiquidTokyo]

Satan is holding a special place in hell for you Pat. Better get ready to have your ass pounded, hot-lava style...

[Yoyoredman]

The devil is waiting Pat

[avdmeers]

Talk about a thick layer of irony...

[edgwaterprog]

Pat must be afraid the that if OWS suceeded he would be forced to disinvest in his African gold and diamond mining operations.

[AVINATION]

Jesus would have Occupied Wall Street wall street a long time ago. Matthew 21:12

[steerpike66]

EVIL OLD MONSTER.

DIE YOU LEPROUS WALKING CORPSE, THE DEVIL IS WAITING TO FLAY YOU ALIVE.

[420gma]

Pat your such a thick headed old fart ! One of the issues of OWS is that the poverty rate is raising very quickly in america because of the power grab of the 1%. Why do you hypocrites always seem to forget that jesus said It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get into heaven !You should think heavily on that !

[killdaclownz]

This guy is the POSTER CHILD for bringing back my favorite spectator sport,

FEEDING CHRISTIANS TO THE LIONS!!!

[sinbysin666]

If Jesus was a alive today, I swear to Christ, he would be among the protesters. That guy is a class A hippie.

[AmsterdamHeavy]

blathering old fuck states the reasons but cant put together why they are out there? Lying old fuck of the 1%

[theoxymoronfromtexas]

Another lying POS among the ranks of O'Rielly, Beck and Limbagh.

[jmstew0319]

I thought lying was a sin?

[TheeBeastradamus]

@jmstew0319 He doesn't care. I bet he does coke and fucks hookers too. Maybe even male hookers.

[cakemix76]

The tea party is god's answer for saving America, but the Occupy Wall Street Protesters are just angry, dirty, property destroying hippies? Sorry ass motherfucker!

[abbynormal0ne]

"Lifting the yoke of oppression" IS WHYYYY they're there.

[62netty]

Demonstrate to help those that are poverty stricken?

That is, among other things, exactly what "Occupy" is doing, Pat!
