If you are one of the thousands dozen or so of Pat Robertson’s followers who is now terrified of traveling “overseas” for fear of contracting HIV/AIDS while using a towel, let Anderson Cooper offer you some peace of mind. The host of CNN’s AC 360 used all that convenient scientific knowledge that often eludes Robertson and his ilk to again make the world a safe place to enjoy authentic Italian gelato.
“Just to be clear, if, like Pat Robertson, you somehow missed all the evidence, all the research, the depth and breadth of all the knowledge garnered about HIV and AIDS over the past three decades, you cannot get HIV if you share towels,” Cooper said.
Just beware of visiting San Francisco, Cooper cautions. “Because that’s of course where all the gay people live and Pat Robertson thinks they have an ingenious way of giving you ‘the stuff.'”

Thank you Anderson Cooper. Finally a voice of reason on the boob-tube. Please keep us informed of all the craziness that is gushing from the religulous.

It’s shameful that Pat Robertson feels no need to be correct about medical facts. He’s a classic narcissist, unafraid to exploit fears to further his own agenda for personal gain, no matter the cost to everyone else.

“Bed, Bath and way… way… Beyond”. Lol.
In the words of South Park: “Don’t forget to take your towellll….”
Pat Robertson is an idiot AND he ran for President. Yikes.
Good on ya’ AC.

I hope Anderson will tell Barack Obama and Tom Friden that ebola is a communicable disease and perhaps, just perhaps, travel from Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia should be restricted. Thorough checks should be made before arrival here, not once travelers from those countries get to one of the “5 U.S. airports of entry” accepting flights from those countries.

Actually, yes, Mr. Robertson might be able to contract HIV from a towel… if there were bodily fluids on it and he stuck it up his bottom far enough.
The idiot just says some amazing sh!t. Somehow I am wondering if the 700 Clump is running low on funds and they wheel this guy out from his dementia suite at the nursing home just to goose up the pledges. It is just breath-taking nobody on that stupid show fact checks him when he spouts this ignorant blather. Don’t these morons feel the slightest embarrassment?
And isn’t this the same delusional guy that says he can leg-press like 2000 lbs.?

manjoguy, Your comment is a little off topic, so let me add another off-topic thought that’s been vexing me since the Ebola outbreak was in it’s youth. If HPV virus causes cervical cancer and Hepatitis cause liver cancer, is it possible that the Ebola virus could cause cancer, even for those fortunate to have survived? On-topic, Pat Robertson is a hate-filled, crusty, senile old man who should be escorted to a facility and fed pudding.

Pat Robertson is just a looney tunes and anyone who follows him has severe mental problems.
