After his last few wacky pronouncements, calling the Reverend Pat Robertson "anti-gay" actually rehabilitates his image a bit, in an intolerant, religious-right kind of way. But here is a video clip of him letting his true feelings out during a 1992 taping of The Larry King show [download video, 13 meg wmv file]. This footage came from the satellite feed of the show, and was not broadcast on CNN. In it, you'll see the Reverend complain about being ambushed by homosexual callers, while a CNN handler (or a Robertson aid, I can't tell which) bitches about the call screener and most significantly, reminds Robertson not to answer the questions asked of him, but to speak about whatever Robertson wants. The clip gets good at the 1:56 mark, but you can't fast forward due to a weird conversion error. Found this on youtube.com but I think the original came from Brian Springer's 1995 documentary Spin, which featured uncensored, un-broadcast satellite footage of Robertson, Bill Clinton, Ross Perot and others.
that's amazing. "Those last three were all homosexuals."
Pat Robertson clearly has very sensitive Gaydar.

Pat Robertson is a certifiable LOON. his insane hateful rhetoric should be exposed far and wide every time it leaves his mouth.
thankfully his isn't applauded on this site.... like George Galloway.
because that would be kind of embarassing, lauding the "esteemable" Mr Galloway's insane conspiracy theories and dhimmitude and then seeing him drink milk from a saucer pretending to be a cat or dance around in a leotard with Pete Burns from Dead Or Alive.
