In his continuing quest to find ever-more-crazy analogies, televangelist Pat Robertson is scaling new heights of offensive lunacy. His latest: transgender people are like a horse that he had castrated.
Robertson’s rant ostensibly was about the California law offering rights and protections to transgender students, which he called “absurd.” He trotted out the usual complaints and bogeymen.
“Why are we exposed to this stuff?” he whined. “They are driving the agenda, driving everybody crazy, all this sexual identity, sexual politics, ‘Mommy Has Two Mommies’ [sic] and all that stuff, it’s a tiny fringe but they seem to have control of the levers of power in the media and especially in Hollywood.”
Then, in typical Pat fashion, Robertson went off topic into the deep brush of his psyche, to speculate about what it means to be trans.
“Now, we talk about transgender, I have a former stallion who is now a gelding, because stallions get very aggressive,” Robertson opined. “But he wasn’t trying to be a girl, we just made him into a less aggressive male. And I want you to see him! He’s big and beautiful!”
So all you need is to understand the trans community is a knowledge of animal husbandry.
Watch his full rant below.

Pat is beyond nuts. He’s like the crazy uncle that always drinks too much at every family gathering and talks nothing but shit and everyone laughs at him and thinks he’s just a pitiful old drunk.

We get it – Pat Robertson is a peddler of hatred and lies. Ordinarily, I’m all for the shaming of bigots like this, but only to the extent that new information is gleaned. I would be fine with a moratorium on reposting his nonsense. Indeed, we surely already know he’s a kook with one too few feet in the grave.

I thought he was dead. Hateful old azze.

If he means still capable of kicking his old ass teeth in, then yeah. I’d probably agree.

I wonder if that horse has a shoe it uses to give other horses HIV?

Gee, Pat, it’s rather like your moronic friends in the tea party attempting to destroy the U.S. and world economies because they so hate the black guy in the White House. Only that’s a real problem, not America’s exposure to the transgendered.
Why is this hate-mongering dickwad still breathing?
