Pat Robertson: You Can Get AIDS From A Towel
[su_right_ad]As long as we have ideologues dispensing medical advice, we are an ignorant nation.
Today on “The 700 Club,” an anonymous viewer asked televangelist Pat Robertson if he should reconsider his plans to go on a mission in Kenya due to the Ebola outbreak. While Kenya is in East Africa, the Ebola outbreak has been concentrated in in West Africa.
Robertson, who once raised the specter of gay people attacking heterosexuals with secret AIDS rings, incorrectly warned the aspiring missionary that he could put himself at risk of contracting AIDS…from a towel.
“Not in Kenya. You might get AIDS in Kenya, the people have AIDS, you got to be careful, the towels can have AIDS,” he said.

FFS! Can he please use one, or two, of those towels!!

You can live for decades with AIDS, look at Magic Johnson. I prefer something quicker like a lightning strike, God would get her revenge and we would get some relief.

It’s all over except the crying when Libs have to roll out Has been Boogieman Pat Robertson 18 days before the election. Next week Alan resurrects Dick Cheney, Haliburton and Don Rumsfeld

It’s more pathetic when one of his own disowns him!

stop whining because all your meatheads are showing their asses

When even you have no defense for the kind of idiocy that permeates the right wing, it is a clear sign that whatever short term gains might be achieved 18 days from now, you conservatives have no clue, no vision, and no plan for America.
It is just a matter of time before Republicans are as irrelevant nationwide as they currently are here in California.

“Libs” and moderate “cons” have been mocking Pat Robertson for decades.
What does that have to do with elections?
rg9rts October 16th, 2014 at 2:51 pm
Nothing its like a FAUX talking point…useless
Carla Akins October 16th, 2014 at 2:23 pm
Libs have nothing to do with Pat saying something stupid once a week.
M D Reese October 16th, 2014 at 3:52 pm
Once a week?

Indeed! Let’s get some perspective! Oh–and they’re bringing out Whitewater again–a real estate deal that the Clinton’s LOST money on…
rg9rts October 16th, 2014 at 2:50 pm
Wouldn’t have it if the neonazis didn’t beat that dead horse Benghazi LOL
M D Reese October 16th, 2014 at 3:51 pm
He rolls his own self out–daily.
bpollen October 16th, 2014 at 4:17 pm
Libs don’t roll out the Robertson Clown Car… That’s CBN. Famous people saying stupid things gets airplay – a fact of life. An example:
“This just in: Red Eye Robot says something stupid about liberals. Liberals say ‘Who?'”
Anomaly 100 October 16th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
Yeah cuz that Halliburton thingy hasn’t had an affect on this country at all.

Please, please, please… we all know that the old rich white guy with an ear to what God wants meant to say “towel-HEADS.”

He takes Investors’ Business Daily more seriously than the New Testament, and has a vested interest in keeping his ill-informed viewers scared.
whatthe46 October 16th, 2014 at 4:38 pm
his “ill-informed” viewers are stupid. period.
rg9rts October 16th, 2014 at 2:49 pm
In light of that vital information,,we now have the reason for Robertsons stopping bathing.
William October 16th, 2014 at 2:52 pm
First it was rings now it’s towels. It’s high time the CDC took a long hard look at the jewelry department at Zales as well as Bed Bath and Beyond
whatthe46 October 16th, 2014 at 4:34 pm
how do people fix their faces to let such stupid sh’t roll off of their tongues?
M D Reese October 16th, 2014 at 3:50 pm
Let’s start a mail-in campaign of soggy, dank-smelling towels to Pat Robertson.
fancypants October 16th, 2014 at 4:01 pm
He gets the same looks when he speaks ….
whatthe46 October 16th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
i wonder if this man was asking just to see what the stupid answer would be.
granpa.usthai October 16th, 2014 at 4:34 pm
-just wait ’til his viewers find out what they got for touching their TV during one of his replayed ‘touchie healie” reruns. That ought to scare ’em up plenty enough. Better to be giving your monies to the poor around you than sending in to the billionaire blabber business.
Larry Schmitt October 16th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
And that noted PhD in medicine, Pat Robertson, speaks up.
Dcbos October 16th, 2014 at 7:46 pm
Poor Pat; quit sending him money;you can get aides off checks.
LiPao October 16th, 2014 at 8:05 pm
Here’s one Pat doesn’t know about.
