Obnoxious, insensitive and just downright disgusting comments on Ariel Sharon's stroke had to be expected from various quarters. But Pat Robertson has to win some kind of award for clueless low blows. This is inexcuseable.
"He was dividing God's land and I would say woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the EU, the United Nations, or the United States of America," Robertson said on his television program, "The 700 Club," Broadcast from his Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach. "God says 'this land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.' "
I've said it before and I'll say it again. "Friends" like this, we do not need.
Update: Further on this subject, see also: Meryl and Omri.
Further update: The ADL and "a Bush administration spokesman" chime in. Good.
