Pat Robertson (dead yet?!): Gay marriage = pedophilic child molestation.

[Grimmlok]

Yesterday, when Gov. John Baldacci (D) signed a marriage equality law, Maine became the fifth state to allow legal same-sex marriage. On the Christian Broadcasting Network today, Pat Robertson responded by claiming that the “ultimate conclusion” of legalizing same-sex marriage would be the legalization of polygamy, bestiality, child molestation and pedophilia. “You mark my words, this is just the beginning in a long downward slide in relation to all the things that we consider to be abhorrent,” said Robertson.

Transcript:


HOST:

Meanwhile, the New Hampshire legislature has also voted in favor of gay marriage, but Pat, the governor there still isn’t sure if he will approve that bill.

ROBERTSON:

Lee, we haven’t taken this to its ultimate conclusion. You got polygamy out there. How can we rule that polygamy is illegal when you say that homosexual marriage is legal. What is it about polygamy that’s different? Well, polygamy was outlawed because it was considered immoral according to biblical standards. But if we take biblical standards away in homosexuality, what about the other? And what about bestiality and ultimately what about child molestation and pedophilia? How can we criminalize these things and at the same time have constitutional amendments allowing same-sex marriage among homosexuals. You mark my words, this is just the beginning in a long downward slide in relation to all the things that we consider to be abhorrent.

Funny comments:

"Doesn't legalized child molestation already exist inside the Catholic church?"


"Inevitable Man-Dog marriage looms. Just ask former senator Sphinctorum."


"...Don't forget robot sex, Pat. "

Yes, because the straight polygamist thing, with the underage wives and shit, isn't bad at all...

Makes you wonder what they teach at Pat Robertson University. Oh, wait. Dubya hired a lot of graduates from that school, so they don't teach anything there.

^^I think something like 10% of Bush's Justice Department was comprised of Regent University Law graduates. That's about 150 lawyers from a 4th tier law school with right wing religious affiliations and a (IIRC) 55% bar pass rate. Scary.

If he was dead I think the gay blogsosphere would be in a frenzy of internet glee. I know if I heard the news of that twat dying I'd roll out the BBQ grill.

I know it's been said over and over, but I still have trouble believing in this day and age people still feel like that. Surely he must know some gay people and like them? There are so damn many of them around. LOL Course I guess they'd be deep in the closet around him, sad. I wish he die.

Glenn Back likened gay to incest. That reminds me of the Alan Keyes/Barack Obama senate debate in 2004. LOL @ Obama's 'wtf' look.
