Regional embarrassment and racist Pat Robertson has let off another explosion of verbal diarrhea. This time he is blaming Barack Obama for "inciting black-on- white violence." The data to support this claim? There is, of course, none. And its all an delusion in the mind of a man who seems increasingly out of touch with any kind of objective reality who daily panders to the sense of outrage of the white supremacists of the GOP and conservative Christian groups. These people just cannot get over their hate and bigotry and go off every time they remember a black man is in the White House. As I have said before, it's a wonder that today's GOP city and county committee meetings don't start with all attendees donning white robes and hoods. And for non-Virginians, it is important that they remember that Robertson is historically the largest GOP donor in Virginia. Right Wing Watch has these details:
Pat Robertson today, while discussing the shooting
of an Australian baseball player in Oklahoma by three teenagers, two of
them black and one white, accused President Obama of inciting
anti-white violence. The 700 Club
host said, “We are having a tremendous amount of this black-on-white
violence and I have a feeling that instead of bringing racial harmony,
having an African-American president has exacerbated the problem.”
“He seems to be wanting to bring division among people instead of bringing them together; he is one of the most divisive leaders this country has ever had,” Robertson continued. “It just seems he wants to rub the edges raw every chance he gets.” Robertson argued that Obama is trying to divide people by race and class: “There’s always something there to stir up controversy.”

Of course, this is the same top Virginia GOP donor who has said: Gays Destroy Society, Want Christians in Jail; that gays are really straights with "chromosomal damage", that Planned Parenthood backs genocide and inspired Hitler, that "Wild" Liberals Support "Society of Death"
For the record, back in my GOP activist days I got to meet Robertson in person. In my opinion, he is an arrogant egomaniac who is having a tempestuous love affair with himself. Obnoxious doesn't even begin to describe him. His mere presence - not to mention Regent University and CBN - are a huge negative for Hampton Roads.
