I would agree with that statement. And if not "
repel" people...certainly give them cause to take a step back and go...whoa.
I have seen Pat Robertson called a "nutter", a "nutcase", a "jackass", an "idiot", a "wind bag", and compared to islamofascist terrorists. And that's just in this thread. Ok...so, I'm inclined to agree. However...the man is also very charismatic. He has an agenda, and he has followers that he tends to manipulate, exploit and control. So also has every "cult" leader that has lead their flocks over the edge of the cliff. Jim Jones, David Koresch, Charles Manson, Marshall Applewhite, and even to some degree, L. Ron Hubbard and Fred Phelps. So, I think perhaps we shouldn't be so casual as to dismiss him as just another "nutcase". For a nutcase he may be...but I happen to believe that he's also a very
dangerous nutcase.
