Televangelist and dinosaur Pat Robertson says that photos of gay people kissing make him want to barf and social media should reflect that. Instead of offering a “Like” button for Facebook photos of couples smooching, Robertson is proposing a “Vomit” button.
“You’ve got a couple of same-sex guys kissing, do you like that?” Robertson responded to a viewer calling into to his TV show who asked if it was a sin to “Like” a Facebook photo. “Well that makes me want to throw up. To me I would punch ‘Vomit’ not ‘Like’ but they don’t give you that option on Facebook.”
About the only thing surprising about Robertson’s comments is that he is aware of the existence of social media.
Robertson must be suffering from upset stomach these days because he’s got barfing on the brain. His Vomit button idea comes just after warning that gays and lesbians are “an offense against God and it was an offense against the land and the land would vomit you out.” That lovely idea comes to us from the passage in Leviticus that calls for the death penalty for homosexuality.
How about we take this to the next level?

With Pat, no hidden homophobia. What you see is what you get.
No “love the sinner but hate the sin” nonsense.

SEE, even Pat Robertson is in favor of a “dislike” button. Come on Mark Z!

I believe Marion “Pat” Robertson’s mental issues stem from his parents giving him an “effeminate” first name. So he chose to be called by the nickname “Pat” instead of Marion…
Marion is now 83. I say we begin a countdown of days until he is dead. Maybe start a charity raffle with the winner being the person guessing closest to the number of days until he begins to turn into compost. My guess is 666 days.
If you guess how he dies you could win a free trip to the dance party on his grave, woop woop! I think he will be struck by lightning. Oh the irony… lol.

I thought he was dead already. It just takes longer for bigots to stop flapping their hate-filled gums.

Generally, all the public figures who are on a warpath against those who deviate what is perceived as “morally correct” (only in their mind, they are the ones who are fighting their burning desires to give in to that they are oppressing. Maybe Pat Robertson is a closeted homo. I bet his church young male docents are hand picked.

How much longer is ABC Family contractually tied to this asshat? I know they are still required to show his 700 Club at certain times of the day and certain days of the week. It seems like his CBN has been off the air long enough that ABC can stop running his ridiculous show.

I don’t mind a vomit indicator. I’d be using it on a lot of pseudo-Christian, teabillie, and religious pages.
