And if there is one person who knows a bigot when he sees one it is Pat Robertson.  The fact that this charlatan hasn’t been struck down dead is absolute proof that there is no god.

Poor Pat doesn’t like when some other ideology is put in his face…He should practice what he preaching, which was exactly the point of the skit. It even seemed as if he was suggesting what a shame it is that our country has to tolerate such tolerance?! Oh and evryone knows, God is a Packers fan! Has been for decades!
Snl was hilarious! imo

Pat Robertson, who owns a gold mine in Liberia with the blood soaked Charles Taylor, that uses virtual slave labor.
“Depart from me, ye who work iniquity!

Sounds like a lot of Mediaite commenters.

I’m pretty sure that God has enough glum-faced, sour hypocrites in the world already. No more need apply.

I don’t think it’s bigotry… Some good reasons to skew Tebow were in that other Mediaite article about Reliable Sources from yesterday. There’s a good conversation about it.
To quote Hitchens (on Falwell, but applies here too): If you gave him an enema you could bury him in a matchbox.

““We need more religious faith in our society.”

He means the right kind of faith.

 “If this had been a Muslim country and they had done that, and had Muhammad doing that stuff, you would have found bombs being thrown off!” “And bodies on the street!” interjected co-anchor Terry Meeuwsen. “And bodies on the street!” Robertson repeated. “And we think it’s okay.”

  So Pat, are you implying this country should take notes and be a little more like the Muslim fundamentalist’s? You, and your disgusting ancient views, need to open your mind a bit and realize there are others in this country who don’t care to take Christianity so seriously.

The Packers are the only community organization in the NFL.

True

HHHHhhhhhhmmmmm…… I wonder if he can snort as much cocaine in five minutes as MIchelle Bachman or Glenn Beck???

Yeah, screw the Bible and the Constitution, eh, Pat Robertson?

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray
standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.
I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.”
“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your
Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in
secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:5, 6:6

Rev. Pat Robertson is right. SNL is the go-to show for weasely sicko lefty atheists.

Sports fans around the country hoped that Tim Tebow would dethrone the Mighty New England Patriots, but he was unable to pull it off.  One thing he COULD pull off were Filipino boys’ foreskins though.  He spent his time while on a  mission to the Philippines assisting in circumcision procedures without the proper training.  Robertson probably thinks that’s ok.

It’s called a joke you idiot.  Jesus would have laughed his ass off.

True, he would have but only after somebody helped him pry those pesky stakes out from his extremities.  Damn that’s gotta hurt!

True dat.  But all he’s gotta do is ask the old man for a little pain relief.  It’s easy when pops is the creator of the universe.

This coming from a man who worships beneath a bloody effigy of a liberal who was supposedly tortured and murdered for speaking out against people like Robertson.

You can’t hate Christianity more than Republicans do.  It’s simply not possible.

These bible thumpers never cease to amaze me.  

It also quite obvious that no one hates more than you, son.

Shouldn’t ya be spewing your hate on the SP page?

pat robertson angry about biggotry. LOL

shouldn’t you be getting yourself banned again?

YES.
Only “GRAMPS” is allowed to comment on EVERY SINGLE THREAD AND EVERY SINGLE COMMENTER.

Oh Brother!

If this had been a Muslim country and they had done that, and had
Muhammad doing that stuff, you would have found bombs being thrown off!”

Nice.
Use bigotry to criticize bigotry.

Yeah, those Muslim countries wouldn’t have allowed that sort of stuff. Gee, too bad we can’t be more like them, huh? 
It’s called ‘humor’. You don’t have to be sicko, weasly, or atheist to get it – you just have to be relatively intelligent.

Excellent!!  =)

SNL? Is that a black thing?

How is that bigotry?  His statement is factually correct.  Remember the Swedish cartoonist who drew a picture of Mohammad and who had a fatwa issued calling for his murder?  Robertson is wrong to condemn SNL, though.  Tebow’s behavior begged for the skit.  You can criticize a Christian without being a bigot just like you can criticize a black man or woman without being a racist.

God must have been busy this weekend when Tebow had his ass handed to him by the Patriots!!

Furthermore, Pat is further proof the Republicans have no sense of humor!!

My first sentence is sarcasm.  I agree with you all the way and find it amazing that a creature such as Pat Robertson has the balls to paint anyone as a bigot based on his history.  If Tim Tebow wants to be Jesus’’ peacock every chance he gets, he should expect push back.  I also find it funny that his defenders call it hate if anyone dare mock the anointed one.  That’s a page right out of the cartoon idiots in the Muslim community.

Rich coming from a guy who claims “the homosexual lifestyle” was  least partially caused 9/11, dontcha think?

You are a sad little man.

You forgot to mention how this is Obamas/MSNBC/atheists fault for this doddering old fool talking out of his ass.

No sense of humor?  Have you seen the field of candidates for president? A laugh a minute coming out of that crowd. 

Isn’t that what they always say?  We should kill because terrorists kill?  We should torture because terrorists torture?  We should abolish the Bill of Rights because terrorists don’t operate under a bill of rights?

Maybe Pat should clarify, is he advocating Christians throw bombs and leave bodies on the street in response to a satirical comedy piece? 

It would be funnier if it weren’t for the possibility that one could be our next Prez! I’m pretty sure that the comedians are praying for that though…can you imagine the material?

::giggling:: But it’s okay to be bigoted against the LGBT community, they’re going to hell anyway!

Tebow is bringing more and more attention to what a good Christian man can be; how to live life and how to respect others.  I’m sure he is just fine with this attention, and good for him for being such a wonderful role model.

SNL can make fun of him all they want, all it does is make them look foolish.  These are the same people who yell “Free Mumia” right?  Praise the murderer, mock the Christian.  oh so left.

But if they actually opened that Bible, read it in it’s entirety, not just taking pieces out of context, they would find that there is a “huge log” in their eyes.

Right?  It’s almost like he and his co-anchor were openly longing for retaliatory terrorism in response to anyone who makes a joke about religion. 

They don’t hate it, they just don’t understand it. They also use it as a tool to achieve their goals. As for Tebow, he’ll outgrow it.

Tim Tebow could definitely stand to re-read this passage. 

But he and pops are one and don’t forget the the ghost. So really, doesn’t he just have to ask himself?

Just so I get this straight, Pat…

Are Popemobile jokes still ok?

Thank god the prosperity gospel, homophobic, hateful right has Fox.

That’s what I was wondering, does Pat want us to be more like them? 

Kind of looks bad for Perry’s prayer meetin’, eh?

I am a Christian and I have a sense of humor.

Excellent, and extremely relevant point my friend. Kudos.

Hey, we have freedom of religion in this country. You are free to choose any brand of Christianity you want. Stay away from those Mormons though, they’re a cult! Puleeez!

More people would become atheists if they read the bible.

It’s curious how when Tebow wins, the media is all “Jesus helped him!”, but is strangely absent when the opposite happens.

But being a role model is about living your life with integrity, not about putting on shows of piety. There are many athletes living that way, humbly going about their lives, serving in their communities, taking care of their families, those are the role models. And I know this is shocking but, some aren’t even Christian (Yao Ming for example).

Have you ever watched Tim Hawkins? He’s a riot! Pat Robertson is NOT a good example of what a Christian should be.

I am a Christian and I have admired Tim Tebow for years!  My son-in-law went to the University of Florida and I am familiar with TIm’s storied career.  I, nevertheless, thought the skit was very funny.  They should ask Tim Tebow to host the show once the season is over. 

Yep, worked for me! But as in any religion, there are teachings that are valuable.

His awareness of hypocrisy runs the intellectual gamut from A to B.

You’re right!! All the cable news channels covered the story last week (Fox the most), and now today, nothing but silence!!

Michele has “virgin” nostrils when it comes to cocaine!

Maybe he should have offered to circumcise the whole Patriot team prior to the start of the game!

God roots for the Saints!  Where do you think they got their name?

Maybe Satan roots for the Patriots!

No, he is suggesting that in response to a satirical comedy piece, anybody who had anything to do with it should be turned over to the Romans for trial.  Pontius Pilate will serve as Judge and Dick Cheney will take care of the waterboarding to obtain “voluntary” confessions.

Not to be picky, but the cartoonist was Danish.  When all of that was going on, Jay Leno came out for his monologue and said the following:

Jay:     “Oh Kevin, I had the worst nightmare!”

Kevin:  “Gee Jay, what was it?”

Jay:     “I dreamed I walked into a Muslim bakery and asked for a Danish.”

I didn’t hear anything about how god has abandoned him.

Clovis obviously worships the anointed one….talk about charlatans!!

Wow.
That hits it on the head.

Thanks dude.
Way to harsh my mellow.

A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or
her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance,
and animosity toward those of differing beliefs.

That was really funny (if you are up on Pat Robertson news).

Well there you go.  I don’t see any animosity.  He is simply wrong.  

Deep.

pat robertson alone has fueled the ant-christian movement with his greed for power and money-his lies and hate..
if not for people like pat and the fake ‘family values’ crowd—Christians –the few good ones..may actually get some respect..

clovis worshiped sarah palin and gw bush?

http://www.chuckfreeman.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/george-bush-and-jesus.jpg

there are tons of these

Pat Robertson is of course a bigot. And if there’s one thing a bigot hates, it’s another bigot who hates him or his group.

So I’m not surprised you take issue here.

Based on the “likes” your comment is getting … about your lust for Pat Robertson’s death, even though he has not physically harmed anyone … is a running count of how many bigots are commenting here. 19 likes so for. Congrats. You are the Messiah of the anti-Christian bigots.

and then Pat the Faith Healer went back to grifting his flock for money, demonizing non-Christians and blaming natural disasters on Haitian cult pacts.

I’m a Christian. I thought the sketch was not only funny but had some pretty good lessons for Christians.

The closest thing that came to bigotry was the last line about Mormons. But even that was meant to poke rightwing Christians, many of whom see Mormons as nonChristians.

Where I come from, carrying your religion on your sleeve is considered bad form.

Robertson is more charlatan than bigot. He’s selling a message that a segment of America wants to hear.

Just like Hitchens did.

but this is not a Muslim country.

Rightwingers are in absolute control of the Middle East…that is why there is no freedom there

I agree with you David r, thanks for the sober comment.

The “media” has never said anything like that.

Get serious.

The media has been covering it because it is a great story.

you anti-Christians are the ones making the kerfuffle 

We survived George W. Bush…this too shall pass

Strawmen are funny!

I agree totally, except I can’t stand University of Florida or the Broncos.

Go Mizzou!

lectures on morals coming from a charlatan who strongly supports and does lots of business with the murderous dictator of Liberia.

Yeah, everyone knows you just can’t turn on SNL without being subjected to a “Free Mumia” chant. What planet do you live on?

Really? Google search for the “God’s Quarterback” article in the Wall St Journal.

Wall Street Journal is a rightwing rag owned by an Australian and a Middle Eastern sheik.

Media is a broad term.

You are mischaracterizing reality.

Yeah, I think…

Exactly. Keep your crazy beliefs to yourself, in private.

Don’t try to teach that junk to children or tell any of us free-thinkers we have to believe in such stupidity.

Wasn’t it robertson that called for the assassination of Hugo Chavez.Pat is your typical rightwing pseudo christian douche bag.It’s hard to be tolerant when they’re selling mythical bs.

You don’t have to keep your beliefs to yourself.

That’s why we have Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion in this country.

And you don’t have to be an Atheist to be a “free-thinker”; in fact most devout Atheists are anything but…in my opinion

pretty weak point if you ask me

PROFITING OFF OF GOD AND THE PAGAN GODDESS NIKE

Are you are a Christian that believes God gives you victory?

Are you a pagan that believes the goddess NIKE gives you victory?

A popular Christian athlete profits off of Christianity and Paganism… promoting products that honor the Name of God and the name of the pagan goddess NIKE.

Pat! You don’t need to worry about GOD! He does not want anything to do with you! Perhaps you should get in touch with The DEVIL! You two have more in common anyway!!

Bill Belichick is Satan’s nephew. 

Yeah great story.  A guy who has trouble completing even basic screen passes through the first 55 minutes and who looks woefully inept as an NFL quarterback, gets lucky pulling off last second “miracles” against prevent defenses and horrible opposing quarterbacks.  Instead of players like the kicker, defense or WIllis McGahee getting any modicum of credit (if you know anything about football and/or have watched the games, which I have, you’d know they’re the ones who have been responsible for keeping young Timmy in the game).  Instead, Tim Tebow gets all the credit and 10 times the coverage of more accomplished players like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady, simply because he’s the most outwardly pious.

Not to mention, have you seen the guy celebrate?  Newsflash Christian fundies:  Just because you’re a believer doesn’t mean you should completely forgo that whole “humility” thing.  The same announcers who shake their cane at black players and tell them to “act like they been there before”  when celebrating, are the same guys worshiping young Timmy for his Christian-convulsions in the endzone after beating such teams as the 2-11 Vikings or 0-7 Dolphins.  Maybe young Timmy should brush up on his new Testament, like say Matthew 6:6:

“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your
Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in
secret, will reward you.”

God has Brady in his fantasy league.  To be fair, so does Tebow. 

Well, I don’t really care what atheists think.

If you try to impose your stupid beliefs on others, more and more of us will push back against any theocratic encroachment on free society. Religion will never go away but people like you (you do sound reasonable) can be tamed and domesticated so that those of us who don’t subscribe to crazy beliefs can live without feeling threatened.

It takes one to know one…

I sort of agree with Pat, but he ruins his point by giving the example of the ultra conservative muslims.
So often we have the right wing going to their professed enemy for a source of moral guidance.
This is patently false and they should realize that we are multideniminational country and we are not obligated by law to look toward Christianity for our moral decisions.There is nothing wrong with religious humor.The bit was funny.

Not anti christian bigotry, just a joke making fun of Tebow. FU Pat for robbing suckers in the name of lord for all these years to line your pockets you POS! There will be a front row seat in hell next to Sandusky for you!

Missouri is joining the SEC and will be competing in the same conference with Florida and Tennessee.  GO VOLS!

Hitchens never “sold” anything. He created arguments based on facts and reason. He encouraged people to use critical thinking, debate and study.

To compare him to such a disgusting individual as Robertson is a filthy slander. 

Well, the old fart *is* an authority on bigotry.

And comments like that are the go-to tone for angry uneducated rubes, who have no idea that they are cheering on the very policies ideologies that have marginalized their lives and prospects for the past 30+ years….

Televangelist Pat Robertson needs to grow up, put away his biblical coloring book and crayons, and develop a sense of humor.  Amen brother!!!!

Basically what Pat Robertson has done is tell us that it should be okay to stone people to death for criticizing Christianity, the way it seems to be okay in the eastern Muslim world. He’s telling us that we’re LUCKY that we don’t have that happen to us when we criticize Christianity. No, Pat, it’s called the First Amendment, and that’s the difference between us and them…

Like we need lessons on bigotry from a bigot…nice.

Robertson will take any opportunity to promote his CHRISTIAN VICTIMHOOD, all the while in fact, subscribing to the ARROGANCE of christian views as superior to all others. TEBOW is a christian, he was not victimized by SNL, his extraordinary behavior was parodied. I could care less about Tim TEBOR, but I know him to be a devout christian who prays to his god. And that is okay with me. It is ashame that Robertson would consider it offensive, for a muslim to pray to MECCA in public but absolutley affirms Tebow’s right to pary on TV, in the middle of a football game. Do you know how many pro and college basketball players pray and make the sign of the cross before they make a free throw?? Regularly and they do it on TV.

And Pat actually gave up his seat next to Jerry Falwell – cleaning toilets – to make that announcement.

wouldn’t that be imposing YOUR stupid beliefs on others, you are a complete hypocrite.

Tebow is a religious freak. He needs to keep his religion off the football field.

“If this had been a Muslim country and they had done that, and had
Muhammad doing that stuff, you would have found bombs being thrown off!”

Conclusion: Pat Robertson wants to kill non-Christians because “other countries get to do it, why can’t I?”

If SNL does not perform humor about you, you are not very important.

Wrong again Barry (you must hear that a lot). Hitchens never sold some myth god and had credulous people send in their money so he could live like a king. He made arguments based on rational thought. The fact that he hurt some feelings on the way doesn’t put him on the same level on this snake oil salesman.  You don’t like Hitchens, fine, but the comparison is a nonstarter.  Hitchens was also not afraid to debate anyone on his ideas, unlike Saint Pat.

Which anointed one would that be?

I know, Pat and Charles Taylor should get humanitarian of the year awards. I’m sure no harm was done on that deal alone.

So you want to Tame and Domesticate others with your Belief and you consider all others who believe not like you are stupid…and then you say you want a Free Society….. Are you a Rational Being or…?

I’ve never heard of a 14 million member “cult” with 30,000 congregations. Stop repeating what your pastor tells you.  If you actually did real research and attended church one Sunday with a latter-day saint family, you’d be shocked how Jesus Christ is preached in wonderful simplicity. These are good people.

Oh Sweetie! That was sarcasm.

Bet  he just comes unglued at the Life Of Brian..I’d pay a couple of bucks to watch him watch that. 

Also blames hurricanes and earthquakes on the residents of the stricken area while bragging about the aide he will send to the heathens.

Just wishing..even he knows he couldn’t get away with it.

Or go into politics when his knees give out.

Treason? Truth is not treason. The U.S. did brings these attacks on itself. Not defending Robertson any, believe me, but we get attacked because we’ve been in these other countries bombing them everyday instead of minding our own business. Not because we are free, lol. If that was the case, they would be bombing Canada and Switzerland too.

Really? He really did that? Really? Wow,now we can rest easy knowing that there are less foreskins in the world. That is such a relief.

weasely is a fun word. I’m going to remember it. What does it mean?

What ever happened to the “pray in your closet” thing. I distinctly remember that from Sunday School. I know it was in there along with feed the poor and clothe the naked. I remember something about a good Samaritian and a rich man and the difference in the way they treated the crime victim they found in the road. I see absolutely nothing I learned in church school in the Republican christian party, Pat Robertson or any other of the right wing Christians. I am no longer a christian but I still live by the rules of help one another  and care for the one who is hurting. I’m a better christian as a pagan than Robertson is as a preacher. If all god requires is a yes to Jesus he has very low standards for heaven.

it seems the media and culture of the hour makes a mockery of christianity and christian ideals at every turn. I ask everyone on this post to read thier history books a moment and find out what happened to the jews in the 1930′s and 40′s. It is a standerd belief that the holocost came out of nowhere, but where it came from was first mockery of the jewish faith, then anger, then systematic murder simply because of thier beliefs.
How much longer will it be that children get bullied and beat up at school for “daring” to be christians? Or churchs vanalised because TV and the internet christians were a bunch of stupid, self rightous hypicrites?
I see alot of hateful words on this post, and on all posts that have any mention of jesus or christianity.
Why does it have to be so unusual that a young man prays before a football game and paises and thanks god when he wins? Would you rather him get drunk and try to sleep with everything that walks as some players do?

They were making fun of Tebow, not Christianity. Pat’s praise is ludicrous as Tebow is just a football player and I doubt if Jesus is really a Broncos fan. Jesus has better things to do than rig football games and music awards.

As a Christian, Pat Robertson has a right to be upset, but not because the skit portrayed bigotry.  No, Christians should be upset that Jesus, the center and foundation of the Christian faith, is portrayed as a humanist (someone who prays to people), a heretic (someone who calls Mormonism true), aggravated by people who trust in Him, vulgar and repulsive (showing gym socks and a long hairy leg), and someone who should not be taken seriously.

Jesus’ worth and value is reduced to rubble in a matter of minutes.  SNL did everything in their power to pan Christ and Christianity–objects to be disregarded and dismissed as having no consequence.
And by doing so, they aligned themselves with those guards who insulted Jesus as they stood over him and beat him before His death.  In mocking gestures, they said, “Prophesy, who hit you?”

In essence they proclaimed, “See, Jesus is powerless, even though he claims to be the Son of God!”
 
That’s why as a Christian I am upset with this skit.  And every Christian should be at least a little appalled and embarassed by this.  Pat Robertson was right to say that if Mohammed was portrayed in this way, wars may have been fought over it. 

All that being said, I don’t think God places as much emphasis on American sports as we do.  That thought is actually a little funny.

They make fun of Tebow because he is a christian and not ashamed of it. That is why they made the snl skit, that is why there is so much controveristy.
Have you seen media shows lately? Everything is anti christian. Its okay to slam christians at every turn and getting more so. More witch shows, vampire shows, demon shows……
By doing this, the media destroyes a sense of what is right and what is wrong. It makes it ok to be angry and hateful toward someone simply because they are christian.

wtf? a lawyer? ok…lemme break it down:
Pat used an EXAMPLE of bigotry, as in Muslims’ intolerance and animosity towards those that ridicule their belief, in support of his CRITICIZING of SNL’s anti-christian bigotry.

The “pray in your closet thing” is directed at people who grandstand to make a show of their faith.  Some people would argue that is what Tebow is doing.  I don’t.  I think it comes from a genuine faith.  And that’s the whole point of “praying in the closet.”  Jesus looks for those who are genuine and not out for looks.  In no way does it mean you should “just keep your faith to yourself.”

I’m not a Robertson fan either and I don’t believe he speaks for me as a Christian.  I am sorry you see Christianity in this way.

You seem to miss the point about Muslims. It is their true lack of faith that drives some of them to react violently to criticism that questions their messiah. When Christians think about behaving violently to satirical sketches about their messiah then they are on the downhill slope too.

Wrong. Those actors would respect Tebow’s devotion to his religion, but not his advertising it all the time. He missed the Sunday school class about humility it seems. He is a very good football player who has found strength in his beliefs that help him to excel, but he should leave it there, by going overboard he actually does a disservice to his cause. He will win just as often by keeping his personal beliefs private. 

Robertson has done more damage to Christianity than a choir room full of priests.

I find the “anti Christan bigotry” appalling, in this 80% Christan nation also.
PS. I think there is a bit in the bible about not being a hypocrite by praying in public. Keep it private, in your room, etc…………

What is wrong with having open prayer to god in public? You make this seem like some kind of crime. If I want to pray before my meal in a public place, (ie a resturant) I will pray. There is no shame in this, only in those who openly mock it. This young man is in a public spotlight for all to see. To him, there is no private life. What he is and what he does is on display at all times.
People misquote the bible all the time to suit their purposes. When Jesus was talking about praying in public vrs private, he was talking about the religious leaders of the day who had only outward gestures of piety. Inside these same people were rotten to the core. 
Jesus himself, as were his followers, were extemly outspoken about their faith and the way to live in the paths of rightousness.If Jesus had stayed silent and been a “good little jew” to the eyes of those religous leaders he would have never been crucified. 

I somewhat agree with pat Robertson. Christians should be more outrages at the way Jesus is being portrayed in the media. If it’s not something to uplift Christianity then he should not be portrayed. if someone portrays princess Diana in a negative way then all hell would breaks loose. but depicting Jesus as being annoyed by Tebow is fine

Oh, go to hell, Pat.

Your description of who Jesus was complaining about sounds a lot like Robertson.
Tebow would do well to emulate another devout young man by the name of A.C.Green of the L.A. Lakers who had all the same beliefs but did not flaunt them. It is simply distracting, and annoying, and implies that he feels superior to all the other players. He should have more respect for all the people that paid to see him play football, not pray.

The issue here isn’t anti-Christian bigotry. It’s about people like Tim Tebow who don’t let the rest of us forget that he’s a Christian. Wouldn’t it be a little absurd, not to mention annoying, if everyone dropped to one knee every time something went their way. Just imagine if every other football player did this all the time. People would eventually get so sick of this they turn off their TV’s. There’s nothing wrong with someone having a religious faith but does it have to be displayed so publicly?

Huh?

How does praying to god imply a feeling of “superiority”? It takes a certian amount in courage in my eyes to openly believe in god and a higher calling. And why not feel inspired by god to win a game?
People like someone who inspires them, heroes who are not afraid to stand by their beliefes in adveristy and tell the truth. That is why with as much dissention he has caused, there are many others who rally behind him because being a christian has come under alot of attack lately. What is “distracting and annoying” for you is that he believes in something you do not.

Possibly! Maybe Trinity Broadcasting is looking for an heir apparent for Paul Crouch and his ever-more freakish wife.

Upper-Class Twit Of Da Year… Every Year.

The only difference between a religion and a cult is the number of subscribers.

Love Tebow. Despise Robertson.

Lighten up, Patrick, the skit was funny and decidedly uncritical of Christians. Humor is good for the soul, and taking in stride an occasional good-natured joke at your own expense helps make you a better human being. 

Hitchens was not exactly an honest person himself. An early admirer of Communism, he all of sudden decided to advocate using America’s military to forward his own causes, like with his idiot friend Salman Rushdie. And then there was Iraq and Saddam, who had about as much to do with 9/11 as they did with the Rushdie Fatwa. He also denied that Stalin and Mussolini were atheists, while greatly exaggerating Hitler’s nominal Roman Catholicism (he hadnt attended service in decades)

so comparing Hitchens to Robertson in that ridiculous

Somebody change his catheter and slip him a sedative.

When the Jewish religion is mocked on TV, then all will be equal…and we can all have a big laugh at ourselves. 

But, until then, as long as Jews and their religion are UNTOUCHABLE by the media, no one has any right to mock or condemn the Christian religion….which happens to be the vast majority of people in this country, in case there are any delusions about that.

FIND ONE SNL SKIT that bashes Jews??????????!!!  or their religion!  Won’t happen.
