...It's because they're busy polishing diamonds, not crawling under their cars to work on them. (If you're pissed you didn't get a spoiler alert, then you're dumb enough to think Pat Robertson wouldn't say something incredibly stupid).
How many thumpers hang on this idiot's every word and send him millions?
He does a good job of a white guy portraying a Jew.
I am a non-practicing Jew. (I.e., my parents were.)
I am not offended.
The fact is that Jews do have a higher average income because education has been stressed for so long.
... and Pimpathy's comment...a white guy portraying a Jew... that's pretty damned funny.
Sorta like the blue eyed creamy-white Jeffrey Hunter portraying the quintessential Jesus. Now THERE'S a laugh and a half!
asking why Jews are so rich and answering the question by essentially saying that they make good decisions is akin to asking "Why are Asians so smart?" and coming to the conclusion that they work harder. I have a hard time getting offended by positive stereotypes.
Of course Robertson is a moron who routinely says stupid shit, or more accurately his supporters are morons for sending him millions as you mention.
I couldn't stand the guy. I'm surprised he has any followers left. I'll admit I watched the 700 Club religiously, but he really ruined it for me, even before I came to my senses entirely.
What a tool.
Today on his show he was shilling for Israel, the Jewish state.
