Controversy
Military record
Former Republican Congressman Paul "Pete" McCloskey, Jr., who served with Robertson in Korea, claimed that Robertson was actually spared combat duty when his powerful father, a U.S. Senator, intervened on his behalf, claiming that instead Robertson spent most of his time in an office in Japan. According to McCloskey, his time in the service was not in combat but as the "liquor officer" responsible for keeping the officers' clubs supplied with liquor.
Paul Brosman, Jr., another veteran who had served with Robertson, claimed in a deposition that Robertson had ѕехual relations with prostitutes and ѕехually harassed a cleaning girl. Robertson has described these allegations as "an attack by liberals to discredit me."
Wealth
Robertson's extensive business interests have earned him a net worth estimated between $200 million and $1 billion. Still he begs for donations from the millions of idiots who watch 700 Club and take it seriously.
Faith-Healing
In the 1970s and 1980s Robertson was a faith healer, and James Randi devoted a chapter, "A World of Knowledge from Pat Robertson" on Robertson in Randi's book The Faith Healers. Randi commented that "in 1986, soon after the full importance of the AIDS epidemic began to become evident, Robertson was attempting to cure it" by proclaiming people cured after prayer..
Robertson prayed to God to steer hurricanes away from his companies' Virginia Beach, Virginia, headquarters. He took credit for steering the course in 1985 of Hurricane Gloria, which caused billions of dollars of destruction in many states along the U.S. east coast. He made a similar claim about another destructive storm, Hurricane Felix, in 1995.
In February 2003, Pat announced that God had afflicted him with potentially life-threatening prostate cancer. Did he turn to faith healing? No. He turned to secular medicine; surgeons excised the cancerous tissue.
September 11
He agreed with Falwell when Falwell stated that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were caused by "pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, lesbians, the American Civil Liberties Union and the People for the American Way."
Gay Day at Disney World
On the June 8, 1998 edition of his show, Robertson denounced Orlando, Florida and Disney World for allowing a privately sponsored "Gay Days" weekend. Robertson stated that the acceptance of homoѕехuality could result in hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, terrorist bombings and "possibly a meteor."
