Pat Robertson: Peyton Manning deserves injury because of Tebow snub.

Pat Robertson, televangelist and a leader in the Christian Right movement, said the Denver Broncos treated Tim Tebow "shabbily," adding an injury to the team's new quarterback Peyton Manning "would serve them right."

Robertson came to the aid of the devoutly religious Tebow after the unconventional signal caller was shipped off to the New York Jets in a late evening trade with Denver on Wednesday.

"The Denver Broncos treated him shabbily," Robertson said on "The 700 Club."

"He won seven games, he brought them [Denver] into the playoffs, for heaven sakes. I mean, they were a nothing team. He rallied them together with spectacular last-minute passes and, you know, when they beat Buffalo — I mean, Pittsburgh, excuse me — it was a tremendous victory."

but like most republicans, Robertson must lie, lie, lie and play the victim.

In response, I ask that his god put Pat in a hoodie and make him run through ......

8. How does Robertson know Manning isn't just as religious?

Maybe Peyton is just as firm in his beliefs as Tebow is, but simply chooses to not wear it on his sleeve as Tebow does.

The man has absolutely no clue what the Christian faith is all about.

I do not doubt Tebow's faith but I would suggest he might want to read Matthew 6:5 that says "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly, I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then you Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

Seems to me that all the praying Tebow does in public on the sidelines in full view of the cameras is a violation of Jesus' commands in Matthew.
