You have to realize that in Fredfighter's world, the act of accusing
those espousing ideas not in line with the congressional left or the NYT
editorial page of being mindless robots directed by Rush Limbaugh no
longer
gets the desired reaction. Thus, he has had to cast about for someone at
the fringes in order to attempt to denigrate those with whom he disagrees.

I'm a reasonbly conservative-type, and AFAIC, Pat Robertson is a slightly
wacky TV preacher who has a tendency to say inappropriate things. IMHO,
he's the fringe of the Republican party, but I wouldn't go quite as far to
say kook fringe. He certainly doesn't "dictate Republican policy" as he
does in Fredfighter's imaginary world.
