Pat Robertson Again Shows He's A Bigoted (and Insane) Ass

With regular clock work, resident embarrassment to the Hampton Roads area, Pat Robertson has verbal diarrhea moment. This time the loony Robertson is claiming that liberals back abortion rights to help mainstream lesbians. And people wonder why the Brookings Institute labeled Hampton Roads old, slow and not too bright? With Robertson constantly damaging the region's image, it's no wonder that we have a net brain drain of the college educated and that progressive businesses are not exactly beating on the door to relocate to the region. Robertson's Regent University may afford a means for the non-Bible beater to get a degree through its much more liberal part time student policies (its law school, for example, allows part time attendance unlike Virginia's leading law schools), but the deleterious damage, in my view, out ways any possible positive benefit. Right Wing Watch has the latest on Robertson's batshit crazy bigotry. Here are highlights:
*
Pat Robertson has figured out why President Obama supports the funding of Planned Parenthood and believes in a woman’s right to choose: because progressives want women to have abortions as a way to achieve equality for lesbians. While speaking with co-host Terry Meeuwsen of The 700 Club about the recent debate over Planned Parenthood’s funding, Robertson attempted to use “psychological stuff” to rationalize why progressives back Planned Parenthood and “this culture of death.” According to Robertson, progressives want straight women to “abortion their babies” to “put [lesbians] on a level playing field.”

Meeuwsen: There are lots of government-funded agencies in this country. Why do you think the President picked that one above all else to say, ‘not one penny’?
*
Robertson: Well it’s the left; it’s this culture of death. The far-left is livid about killing babies. They want to kill do this, they want to destroy. You go back, and I don’t want to play all this psychological stuff but nevertheless, if a woman is a lesbian, what advantage does she have over a married woman? Or what deficiency does she have?
*
Meeuwsen: Well she can’t have children.
*
Robertson: That’s exactly right. And so if these married women don’t have children, if they abort their babies, then that kind of puts them on a level playing field. And you say, nobody’s there to express that? Isn’t that shocking, well think about it a little bit ladies and gentlemen.
