That's a settled question. The only outstanding question is how long CBN is going to let this man run his mouth on television.
Today on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson told co-host Terry Meeuwsen that gay men in cities like San Francisco attempt to spread HIV/AIDS to others by cutting them with a special ring when shaking hands.... While responding to a question from a woman who wondered if it was wrong for the church not to inform her that a man she was driving to worship services is âdying of AIDS,â Robertson admitted that he âused to think it was transmitted by saliva and other things, now they say it may be sexual contact.â
âWhat to say if youâre driving an elderly man whose got AIDS? Donât have sex with them,â Robertson said, âunless thereâs a cut or some bodily fluid transmission, I think youâre not going to catch it.â
But Robertson didnât stop there.... Despite Meeuwsenâs best attempts to steer the conversation away from Robertsonâs anti-gay paranoia, Robertson insisted that gay people use special rings to transmit the virus. âYou know what they do in San Francisco, some in the gay community there they want to get people so if they got the stuff theyâll have a ring, you shake hands, and the ringâs got a little thing where you cut your finger,â Robertson said. âReally. Itâs that kind of vicious stuff.â
