Jym Dyer at meme_machine_go suggests that we call Pat Robertson's actions by their proper name: he has issued a fatwah.

People don't seem to remember just how evil and deranged Robertson is for very long. Wasn't he the other half of that TV conversation with Falwell about how the gays and feminists made Sept. 11 happen?

I thought it was just Falwell, but it could've been both.

But, yeah, people seem to forget stuff like, "Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

Or, as Digby points out (http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2005_08_21_digbysblog_archive.html#112483235337943976), the hits he's called down on the Supreme Court and the State Department.

This tactic, incidentally, seems to be helping his show's ratings.

...Yeah, I looked it up: Falwell was on Robertson's TV show, and Robertson was busy agreeing with him.
