This story is taken from the excellent Plasticized.com blog. Pat Robertson, host of the 700 Club, supposedly recently commented on Greta Van Susteran's plastic surgery by stating:
"Yeah, they got the eyes like they're Oriental, and, you know, it's all pulled." And he made a physical demonstration of his point by pulling back the corners of his eyes as in the photo above.
That's not very nice.
Thanks for reading.

ew, what a dick.
I don't think he has a leg to stand on there.
I am disgusted by this.
Wow talk about really inappropriate! That's awful.
That comment wasn't very Jesus like. Why does middle American take this guy seriously?

Just consider the source (Robertson) and ignore him.
I really like your blog.
Pat Robertson is an idiot, but the people who send him money are even more so.
what an idiot. the man's been spewing this hateful stuff for years.
Calling an Asian oriental is like calling an African negro. Both terms are obsolete and pejorative. Robertson is an a-hole. Why do people continue to spew hate like this?

Reminds me of when Prince Philip (UK royal) got into a lot of trouble calling orientals 'slitty eyes'.
It's sad that the Imus thing was enough to get him fired but we let him get away with this? Sad that I don't hear about this in the news at all.
Does anyone - and I mean ANYONE - within the last several decades refer to an Asian person as "Oriental"? (Glaring) character issues aside, this man is stuck in the 1920's at heart. If this isn't proof that Mr. Robertson isn't a creaking, groaning dinosaur - no matter who's on his marketing payroll - than I don't know what is.

SMILE, Pat... Jesus DOES love you (but the rest of us think you're an asshole).
Let me get this straight. Some of you are disgusted by Robertson's comments and accuse him of "spewing hate", but your posts are more hate-filled than anything he said. Hypocrites.

It was nice when Rosie O'Donnell did it. She's a liberal. She's allowed to make fun of Asians. And you didn't point it out here.
THAT'S not very nice.
We hate him because he's conservative. When liberals say things like this, we still hate conservatives.
