Idiot Televangelist Pat Robertson Blames Wife For Husband's Adultery


Guess the guy never heard of "Thou shalt not commit adultery"....what an idiot::
Pat Robertson is a feature on the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) and routinely takes calls from viewers.

One viewer recently was a woman scorned; her husband had cheated on her. 

The woman told Robertson that she had a hard time forgiving her husband's adultery and sought guidance on how to heal.

Robertson replied with advice that has spurned many Christians and non-Christians alike.

"The 'secret  is to “stop talking about the cheating. He cheated on you. Well, he’s a man. OK," Robertson told the wife.

He then went on to ask her why she fell in love with her husband in the first place. "Is he handsome?" Robertson asked, according to CNN.

Robertson followed up his comments by telling the woman that she needed to evaluate the home she had made for her husband.
“Males have a tendency to wander a little bit. And what you want to do is make a home so wonderful he doesn't want to wander," Robertson said. 

These comments prompted CBN to issue a statement.  “The intent was not to condone infidelity or to cast blame. We regret any misunderstanding."

Conservative Eric Bolling Is An Idiot For Defending Mike Rice


This isn't about politics and it certainly isn't about machismo and/or any college basketball player's degree of masculinity as FOX's "The Five" co-host Eric Bolling would like you to think it's about. This is about a grown man, a professional college coach, an idiot trusted with the lives of 12 college kids (and yes, till they're 21, they are still kids) hurling vitriol, throwing a basketball at the heads of his players, using abusive language to embarrass and supposedly "motivate" them and worst of all physically assaulting his players when they mess a play up...in practice no less. Put aside the fact that there are more things in life than sports.

Bolling, in his insane defense of Mike Rice, said that "I’ve played for a lot of coaches like that. And let me tell you something: the best coaches are coaches like that.” Yet, other than maybe Bobby Knight, I can't recall any successful, college coach ever acting in a despicable fashion (mind you. Rice's record in 3 years at Rutgers was 44-51) towards his players like this. Not Coach K, Not Roy Williams. Not Jim Boeheim. None.

But then no coach has a right to put his hands on a player in a threatening manner. No parent should have to worry about their child being abused by their coach. Bottom line, Mike Rice deserved to be fired and until he gets some serious anger management therapy, he should never be allowed to coach again:
Fox’s Eric Bolling talked to Megyn Kelly this afternoon about his Wednesday remarks that the firing of Rutgers coach Mike Rice represents “the wussification of American men.”

Rice was fired by Rutgers this week after ESPN footage showed him physically disciplining his athletes while shouting homophobic slurs at them. Off the bat, Bolling clarified his earlier remarks to Kelly by noting that he does not condone the coach’s language whatsoever, but reiterated that he believes Rice should not have been fired for the pushing and shoving of players as part of disciplinary coaching.

“No question he’s a tough coach,” Bolling said. “I’ve played for a lot of coaches like that. And let me tell you something: the best coaches are coaches like that.”

After remarking that he’s received angry emails since defending Rice yesterday evening, Bolling remarked, “We are so afraid to discipline our kids. We are so afraid to tell our kids we disagree with what they are doing. Everyone gets a participation trophy. There’s no winners, there are no losers in American life anymore. We are wussifying American men and it has to stop.”

Echoing the sentiments of his colleague Sean Hannity, Bolling asked what it would be like if we told a military drill sergeant not to get in the face of his soldiers. “We’d be losing wars all over the place” if that were the case, he suggested.

When Kelly expressed her negative feelings towards Rice’s pushing and shoving of athletes who “can’t fight back,” the two went back and forth over whether it’s “degrading” and “humiliating” to be treated that way by a coach. When pressed to “draw a line” for when it becomes physically “abusive,” Bolling said throwing punches would be egregious, but grabbing and shoving by a coach is acceptable.

A former minor league baseball player, Bolling recalled the time he was intentionally hit by a pitch for disciplinary measures. “If they set the bar at ‘You can’t grab the guy’s shirt or throw a ball at his feet,’ you’d probably have to eliminate two-thirds of coaches in America,” he said.

“No racial or anti-gay slurs, and don’t hit anyone,” Bolling concluded. “I’m not for that.”
