    Does anyone know what he's referring to? Some kind of chain email stuff? Never heard of this SF knife ring AIDS trick before. Can't imagine he'd be able to concoct such a notion on his own. Sounds like something he overheard in the sauna with Tom Hanks.

    Back when Green Lantern was created, I decided to make him my favorite comic book. The other boys' favorites were Superboy or Superman (or Baby Huey or Little Lulu or Richie Rich). Green Lantern was the only superhero without superpowers. All he had was his magic ring.

    40 years later, they made him the first gay superhero!

    This proves that gay people screw on their rings more cozily than others.

    You guys want to know how crazy the 1980s were? Pat Robertson developed a giant religion mailing list from his TV show, and used it to solicit campaign contributions. He was one of the biggest presidential contenders in 1984 (against the incumbent of his own party) and 1988 (party insiders gave the nomination to Bush).

    Before that, he (and CNN and ESPN and Ted Turner) became famous with the advent of cable at the start of the Reagan years. He would stand in front of a map of Nicaragua and El Salvador, gleefully pointing with his pointer at spots where the previous day, Jesus had had some Contras killed by the Reagan-backed government. He'd giggle like a crazy man.

    For thousands of years people have used religion to get rich or try and become famous.

    Wow, just wow. Robertson is an idiot. So his theory is that people aids cut themselves, place their blood on this ring, the virus somehow lives outside the body for a long time, then they find someone, shake hands, all to kill innocent people?

    I had a co-worker back when I was working assembly lines that was convinced all gay people want to adopt children to rape them. People filled with fear believe a lot of monstrous things.

    It is pretty amazing that he actually said it (I doubt he actually believes it, because like most of the people on TV who say things that are crazy knowing full well it's bullshit they know they can make money off of it).

    They also know there are still people who believe that kind of shit and while that # is diminishing, Robertson knows his core audience is made up by a lot of those people. So it's just the desperate act of a desperate, senile and feeble man.

    Maybe he's referring to closeted homosexuals who live an outwardly straight life who "somehow" get HIV/AIDS.

    You stuck your foot up someone's ass with HIV, or you are a closeted athlete?

    Robertson has always been a heinous parasite feeding on the uneducated and the fearful.

    Hmmmmmmmm... reminds me of the scene in The Graduate where Benjamin tells Mr. Robinson that sex with his wife was just like shaking hands.

    Pat Robertson didn't run for president in 1984. He did run against H. W. Bush in 1988, though. How many drugs did you actually do in the '70s? He also didn't start the Christian Coalition until 1989.

    Speaking of crazy men...
