Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson has died. He had an enormous impact on American politics and religion. Robertson turned a tiny Virginia television station into the far-reaching Christian Broadcasting Network, where he hosted the flagship “700 Club” show for half a century.

Finally! The founder and host of the 700 Club who scammed my family out of thousands of dollars and grifted hours way through life did far more damage to our society than your average televangelist. I don't normally celebrate anyone's death, but the world is a better place without him.

    No complaint in my book. I remember as a kid channel surfing, coming upon the 700 club, and Pat here was blaming aids on gay black men. Even as a kid I knew that was at least two types of bad.
