The Curses of Pat Robertson - Dover Bitch

On Thursday, conservative televangelist Pat Robertson ranted on his daily television show, the 700 Club, that citizens of Dover who ousted a school board that tried to introduce intelligent design to high school science students should be prepared for God's wrath. He suggested that they pray to Charles Darwin for help.

Robertson considers himself a Constitutionalist. Perhaps he should set up an altar to Hamilton, Madison and the rest when the next hijacked plane hurtles toward Virginia.

As Robertson goes, this is nothing new and not even specially vindictive. Last summer, he called for the assassination of Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez. And in 2003 he urged that the State Department be blown up with a nuclear device. He has speculated that Orlando might be hit by a meteor for allowing gay flags to be flown on city streets and that hurricanes are God's judgment on sinful New Orleans.
