Pat ... Pat ... Pat ...

o
AOL is reporting on the rantings of Pat Robertson:
No stranger to controversial comments, TV evangelist Pat Robertson is at it again. This time, he's predicting devastating weather. In the past, his remarks have targeted world leaders, judges, and even small towns. But he has said, "I speak from the heart so often, and many times these statements need clarification and, if brought out of context, can be misunderstood."
Yeah, Pat suffers from an extreme case of homophobia and misogyny. The really frightening thing however is one of the AOL opinion polls. They are hardly scientific, but nevertheless take a look at this:

How would you describe your reaction to his most recent comments?
Mostly negative 60%
Neutral 26%
Mostly positive 14%
Total Votes: 256,220
How would you describe your feelings about him in general?
Mostly negative 63%
Neutral 20%
Mostly positive 17%
Total Votes: 257,282
Do you think he's treated fairly in the media?
Yes 68%
No 32%
Total Votes: 244,394
How influential is he?
Not at all 52%
Somewhat 38%
Very 10%
Total Votes: 246,771
Barely a majority think he is not influential.

What does it say about the people in this country if 48% are willing to give him ANY CREDIBILITY AT ALL?

yikes!
