Robertson Loses Seat on Religious Broadcasters' Board
http://articles.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20060302144009990003

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (March 2) - Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson, criticized by some evangelicals for comments about Venezuela's president and Israel's prime minister, lost a bid for re-election to the National Religious Broadcasters' board of directors.

Robertson, founder of the Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network, was one of 38 candidates for 33 board seats during the NRB's recent convention. The group represents mostly evangelical radio and TV broadcasters.

NRB President Frank Wright said there was no broad effort to distance the group from Robertson. But "there was broad dismay with some of Pat's comments and a feeling they were not helpful to Christian broadcasters in general," he said in Wednesday's Washington Post.

4. Radical Cleric Unseated -- bodes well for future, or not?
Sounds like ol' Pat issued a few too many fatwas.

5. So even crazed maniacal nutcases reject Robertson
because he threatens their ability to con the gullible out of their last few pennies. Well, I guess there are limits to what kind of insanity they find acceptable -- the bottom line on their spreadsheets is, for them, the bottom line.

6. Good
Glad to hear this. As a Christian he disgusts me. I know other's who aren't happy with him either.
