Bodybuilder says (Pat) Robertson threatened to kill him and his family
http://content.hamptonroads.com/story.cfm?story=119079&ran=6880

One of Hampton Roads' highest-profile Christians stands accused of a not-so-Christian act.

A plaintiff in a federal lawsuit against Pat Robertson says the televangelist threatened his life and that of his family at a legal proceeding Wednesday in the Norfolk federal courthouse.

The accuser, Phillip Busch, is suing Robertson for misappropriation of his image in the promotion of Robertson's protein diet shake.

According to a complaint Busch filed with the Norfolk police, Robertson entered a room in the courthouse Wednesday afternoon to be questioned for a deposition - an out-of-court form of testimony - and told Busch: "I am going to kill you and your family."

Robertson's attorney, Glen Huff, denied the allegation Thursday, saying: "There was no such threat."

1. Robertson himself is laughable as a threat
Though it would probably not be beyond him to order it.
Mr. Busch was well advised to voice this. Now Robertson is
at the top of the suspect list should anything..unfortunate occur.

9. "Musclehead," huh?
So bodybuilders are a group it's okay to refer to with a pejorative?

11. A little bit touchy are we Pat?
I read recently that Pat "Fatwa" Robberson is having financial problems. His organization has lost an enormous amount of financial support; it seems that people are not giving like they used to ???

I don't know but it sounds like an image problem :smoke:

Pat you better come up with a new strategy.
