Pat Roberson Endorses Giuliani

I know that I'm very late in commenting on this, but I was unplugged for the past several days and it takes time to wrap your head around events this hypocritical. Pat Robertson has endorsed the candidacy of Rudy Giuliani, even though Giuliani is pro-choice and pro-gay rights and Robertson has called for revolution over legalized abortion in America (though Robertson defends forced abortions in China, saying "So, I think that right now, they're doing what they have to do. I don't agree with forced abortion, but I don't think the United States needs to interfere with what they're doing internally in this regard.") and stated that support for gay rights "will bring about the destruction of your nation. It'll bring about terrorist bombs, it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor."

Also, remember those infamous comments of Jerry Falwell's following 9/11 in which he blamed the attacks as God's retribution for abortion and gay rights, among others? Few commentators has mentioned that Pat Robertson was not only Falwell's partner in that conversation but wholeheartedly agreed with him.

So, when Pat Robertson says he has endorsed Giuliani because he believes Giuliani will defend America from "the blood lust of Islamic terrorists," doesn't he believe that Giuliani's views are partly responsible for that blood lust?

Maybe that's asking for too much rational thought from Mr. Robertson.
