Question cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo "God Speaks to me and only me"
Preacher: God told him about storms, tsunami
Robertson says warning was for this year; tsunami might hit Northwest

The Associated Press
Updated: 7:17 a.m. CT May 18, 2006


VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - In another in a series of notable pronouncements, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says God told him storms and possibly a tsunami will hit America's coastline this year.

Robertson has made the predictions at least four times in the past two weeks on his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network, which he founded.

Robertson said the revelations about this year's weather came to him during his annual personal prayer retreat in January.

"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8. On Wednesday, he added, "There well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest."

Robertson has come under intense criticism in recent months for suggesting that American agents should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip.

And yet the man apparently has a considerable following. How is that possible? I don't think that cuckoo is the whole answer, but I sure don't know what the explanation is. While following Robertson is a whole different ball game from following something like extremist jihadism, or, in a different era, being a Nazi, or, to get closer to home, being a KKK member, I think that in some way the same dynamics are at work.

Robertson is indeed, a nutter..........
Wonder what he has instore for Pennsylvania for going against the discredited theory from the Discovery Institute?
I think he did damn them, but what is their fate for disobeying Pat?

Robertson is also businessman adept at manipulating laws in foreign lands to his financial bennefit.
His investments in African mining were one example of the depths of the man's depravity.

I could put a potato on tv for 24 hours a day hype him up color it different every day and I bet I would get a following for the potato too.

Pat does not play with a full deck. Neither do most of his viewers

A storm hitting the shores of the US is something that will surely happen sometime in 2006 and a Tsunami is a distinct possibility in the PNW area as it lays on top of a major fault line. It is also directly across the ocean from others. They are both no-brainer predictions that anyone with a grade 4 education could announce. The problem with that nutcase is he has so many followers that will swallow it hook, line and sinker as a message direct from God.

Mr. ego-maniac needs attention again.

He can't be reined in for long before he breaks out again with one of his
predictions.

Notice his phraseology:

"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8. On Wednesday, he added, "There well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest."

Sounds like wiggle-room to me.

Frickin' Nutty McNutcase.

Poochee and Wimpy already pointed it out, he is using the same techniques that supposed clairvoyants and psychics use to dupe people...A lot of hazy, non-specific generalizations. With these pronouncements he could use any sizeable storm that might hit either coast of the US as proof of the fulfillment of his "prophecy".
