But Then, We Have Pat Robertson

Robertson manages to make that Australian barrister (previous post) seem sane. Fresh off the glorious triumph of the "special rings for transmitting AIDS" fiasco, he's come up with this:
Robertson said San Antonio “has gone off the rails” by adopting a non-discrimination ordinance [PDF] which includes protections for sexual orientation and gender identity, and claimed that the new law would lead to Christians being thrown in prison: “This means that if you speak out about your deeply held religious beliefs they will put you in jail or brand you some kind of a class 3 felon.”

“This whole thing is outrageous and that city council should be replaced,” Robertson charged.

Of course, the ordinance does no such thing. (And it seems everyone jumped on the anti-ordinance bandwagon.)

(Video at the link. I wonder if CBN will try to suppress this one.)

For a summary of a few of Robertson's more outrageous claims, see the story at The New Civil Rights Movement.
