It is a worldwide political movement meant on domination" http://mediamatters.org/items/200706120009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706120009 Tue, 12 Jun 2007 18:33:56 EST Robertson: Too much plastic surgery gives people "Oriental" eyes http://mediamatters.org/items/200702070009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702070009 Wed, 7 Feb 2007 14:59:22 EST Robertson dubiously claimed "relatively good track record" on predictions http://mediamatters.org/items/200701040003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200701040003 Thu, 4 Jan 2007 12:18:44 EST Weyrich, Robertson used Foley scandal to spread falsehood about gay men http://mediamatters.org/items/200610050009 Conservative commentator Paul Weyrich and 700 Club host Pat Robertson baselessly asserted that former Rep. Mark Foley's alleged misconduct is typical of gay men. As Media Matters for America has documented, studies that link homosexuality and child sex abuse are flawed and have been thoroughly debunked by numerous experts. http://mediamatters.org/items/200610050009 Thu, 5 Oct 2006 15:42:53 EST Robertson: "Muslims deal with history and the truth with violence. They don't understand what reasoned dialogue is" http://mediamatters.org/items/200609250007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200609250007 Mon, 25 Sep 2006 18:07:18 EST Robertson: "[A] holy war between Islam and Christianity" is "going to come" http://mediamatters.org/items/200609210004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200609210004 Thu, 21 Sep 2006 12:29:57 EST Robertson to Horowitz: There's "sort of a shadowy group called Media Matters. Tell me about that one" http://mediamatters.org/items/200608240008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200608240008 Thu, 24 Aug 2006 18:08:54 EST In Middle East conflict, other crises, conservative media find signs of Biblical prophecy of Armageddon http://mediamatters.org/items/200607260002 In recent days, some members of the conservative media have seen signs of the Apocalypse in the escalated conflicts in the Middle East and Asia. Pat Robertson has considered the possibility but has seemed to reject it, while columnist Hal Lindsey has simply asserted: "Now Armageddon looms large before us." But as recent reports on CNN and in USA Today attest, conservatives are not the only media figures to raise the question of whether current events are a sign of the "End Times." http://mediamatters.org/items/200607260002 Tue, 25 Jul 2006 20:58:47 EST On The 700 Club, Coulter accused liberals of "fak[ing] a belief in God," repeated evolutionary falsehoods http://mediamatters.org/items/200607240008 On The 700 Club, Ann Coulter accused liberals of "trying to fake a belief in God" in order to court religious voters and stated that liberals have "admitted they are godless." Further, Coulter and co-host Gordon Robertson repeated many of the false and misleading claims regarding evolutionary theory that appear in Coulter's latest book and have been debunked by Media Matters for America. http://mediamatters.org/items/200607240008 Mon, 24 Jul 2006 15:28:13 EST On 700 Club, Bozell preached hot air about global warming http://mediamatters.org/items/200607120007 L. Brent Bozell III misleadingly suggested that there is no scientific consensus on the existence of global warming, claiming that scientists were once predicting another ice age. In fact, the magnitude of the consensus among scientists that global warming exists and that human activity is a contributing factor dwarfs the pool of scientists 30 years earlier who warned that the earth was cooling. http://mediamatters.org/items/200607120007 Wed, 12 Jul 2006 17:28:02 EST Robertson: Islam is a "Christian heresy," Jews are "very thrifty, extraordinarily good business people" http://mediamatters.org/items/200605240010 On The 700 Club, host Pat Robertson said "Islam is essentially a Christian heresy" that "picked up snippets of the gospels," and other Biblical texts and is now taking "everything that Jesus said" and "transport[ing it] into this fictional Mahdi." Robertson also perpetuated Jewish stereotypes in a discussion about the need for Israeli soup kitchens, stating that "When you think of Jewish people, you think of successful businessmen" who are "very wise in finance and who are prosperous." Robertson later added that "[i]t shocks people" to find out "there's poverty in Israel," because "Jewish people" are "very thrifty" and "extraordinarily good business people." http://mediamatters.org/items/200605240010 Wed, 24 May 2006 17:39:01 EST Robertson: "[I]f I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms" http://mediamatters.org/items/200605180016 On May 17, Pat Robertson once again warned 700 Club viewers of "vicious hurricanes" and a possible tsunami after saying on May 8: "I go away at the end of each year to pray, and if I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms." http://mediamatters.org/items/200605180016 Thu, 18 May 2006 18:21:25 EST Robertson labeled Islam a "bloody, brutal type of religion" http://mediamatters.org/items/200605010007 On the Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club, host Pat Robertson expressed concern that Americans, "especially the American left," need to "wake up" to the "danger" that Islam presents. Robertson continued: "Who ever heard of such a bloody, bloody, brutal type of religion? But that's what it is. It is not a religion of peace." http://mediamatters.org/items/200605010007 Mon, 1 May 2006 17:50:35 EST Robertson: The West is ignoring threats from "Islam in general," just as it ignored "what Adolf Hitler said in Mein Kampf" http://mediamatters.org/items/200604240007 On The 700 Club, Pat Robertson warned his viewers that "we are not listening" to what Islam "says," just as we did not listen to "what Adolf Hitler said in Mein Kampf." Robertson claimed that we are ignoring the threats by "not only the radical Muslims but Islam in general," because "it is not politically correct to believe that any religious group would do what they claim they are going to do." http://mediamatters.org/items/200604240007 Mon, 24 Apr 2006 15:44:59 EST
