Robertson Blames Katrina on Choosing DeGeneres to Host Emmy Awards



Lesbian is New Orleans native

Hollywood - Pat Robertson on Sunday said that Hurricane Katrina was God's way of expressing its anger at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its selection of Ellen Degeneres to host this year's Emmy Awards. "By choosing an avowed lesbian for this national event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God's wrath," Robertson said on "The 700 Club" on Sunday. "Is it any surprise that the Almighty chose to strike at Miss Degeneres' hometown?"

Robertson also noted that the last time Degeneres hosted the Emmys, in 2001, the September 11 terrorism attacks took place shortly before the ceremony.

"This is the second time in a row that God has invoked a disaster shortly before lesbian Ellen Degeneres hosted the Emmy Awards," Robertson explained to his approximately one million viewers. "America is waiting for her to apologize for the death and destruction that her sexual deviance has brought onto this great nation."

Robertson added that other tragedies of the past several years can be linked to Degeneres' growing national prominence. September, 2003, for example, is both the month that her talk show debuted and when insurgents first gained a foothold in Iraq following the successful March invasion. "Now we know why things took a turn for the worse," he explained.

In order to avoid further tragedy, Robertson called not only for the Television Academy to find a new heterosexual host, but to bar all homosexuals and bisexuals from taking part in the ceremony.

He said employees at the Christian Broadcasting Network had put together a list of 283 nominees, presenters, and invited guests at the Emmys known to be of sexually deviant persuasions.

"God already allows one awards show to promote the homosexual agenda," Robertson declared. "But clearly He will not tolerate such sinful behavior to spread beyond the Tonys."

Why is it that hurricanes, by and large, only hit red states? Think about it! Maybe God is upset that the evangelicals voted Bush in, a maniac who claims to act on the word of God yet does just the opposite.

Hilarious. Degeneres is responsible not only for Katrina but also for 9/11. As if God watches the Emmys.

Can't you just see God up there with a joystick in his hands to guide hurricanes, watching ET, "Oy vey! Degeneres hosting the emmys, no way! Better hit NO....dozes off...oops, I let it veer off to Mississippi, Oh My God! (What does God say instead of Oh my God?) I wiped out half my worshippers. Oh for those omnipotent days of my youth, now I am merely impotent. Why isn't there any God Viagra? "

It's all in the odds. There are more red states than blue. :wink:

Just imagine if the big one ever hits here and thousands were killed. Robertson would have a field day. But God really needs to come up with better accuracy like if he could just get The Castro to sink into the ground, he would, in Robertson's eyes, be doing a lot of good.

Sorry, but this is a hoax. Robertson has said a lot of stupid things (including implying that Katrina was God's retribution for abortion), but he didn't say that.

Oh thank God.

You know, I'm really starting to wonder. This is the second time in as many days that something this ridiculous as seemed entirely plausable. The other was on the thread about detaining US citizens. What does that say about us that we so easily believe something so outrageous? Are we wackos or has the world gone so nutty that something this silly appears perfectly likely?

It IS spooky when outrageous satire appears perfectly normal, isn't it?


(Well done, Joe!)

You mean there is a lying liar left-winger on this site? Someone who claims to not throw insults around and always wants to make a claim that the right wingers are so bad but at the first opportunity posts wrong info with no proof that turns out to be false. It could it could it. To imagine I had such faith in the "truth" this person posts.

I think the US is in a state of political civil war and each side is ready to believe the worst about the other side. It's really very sad for everyone and no one wins.

I was going to say much of this was started during the Clinton/Ken Star era, but I decided to stay bi-partisan.

Based on recent statements made by Mr. Robertson, I didn't think this statement was so strange.
