Pat Robertson

This post, like most from today's 361 Online Journalism videoconference will discuss our guest, Pat Robertson.

Friday at 10a.m on C-Span3, the video-conference will be rebroadcast. That's exciting.

However, many of you may know who Pat Robertson is. He is very respected in the conservative Christian world, and it's easy to see why.

Through much of the interview, Robertson quoted Bible passages; made very insensitive remarks about other religions and continuously contradicted himself. Granted, Robertson is quite the politician. Hence the flip-flopping.

I was a little disappointed I didn't have time to ask my question about the separation of chruch and state within the court room after many of his Regent University Law school grads are under fire for conflating the God's word with that of the president.



There were several times I caught myself rolling my eyes during the conference. But I know and understand that's my natural reaction to something I don't want to hear.

I'm surprised Dr. Robertson wasn't doing much of the same.
