Avoid shaking hands with gay men wearing rings

Pat Robertson, in a statement to the Atlantic Wire, defended his remarks, saying that security guards in San Francisco once told him that "AIDS-infested activists" were "deliberately trying to infect people like me by virtue of rings which would cut fingers and transfer blood."

Pat Robertson blows goats. It's true! I heard it from a security guard!
 
Found this on snopes:

Almost all urban legends although there are a few actual cases of people being jabbed with needles or darts. In almost all cases though the needles were not infected with HIV. There was one attack in a prison though where the victim was infected with HIV. In none of the real cases was the perpetrator a gay activist.

ETA: nor did any of the real cases involve a ring or other jewelry.

I associate the 'poison ring' meme with Renaissance Italian poisoners.....
HIV won't survive long exposed to air.
 
This reminds me of an actual case.
In the Netherlands, some years ago a couple of gay guys drugged guests to their seks parties and actually injected them with hiv-infected blood. They said it was to rid them of the fear for infection: when you are infected already you can have sex without fear of catching hiv.

They were (of course) sentenced for inflicting grievous bodily harm.
 
Ring-a-ding ding

I apologize to all, in advance, for the shear mendacity of this parody.

Sung to the tune of "Ring-a-ding ding" by Frank Sinatra




Life is hell
There's always some crap to tell
Then presto it enters your skull
And find that you're reeling
You sigh and he's feeling
Like a cat with a string
As his hand goes: "Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding"

How did I come to this place
Where I'm all dressed in lace
It's like I'm in outer space
Without any warning
And now I'll be mourning, night-time, winter or spring
All because of his
Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding

He takes your hand - this captivating proctor
And like its planned - you're in the phone book
Looking for the nearest doctor

Life is hell
Just came from that small hotel
And somewhere a village bell
Will tell all the sheeple
As if they were people
Love's the strangest thing
When his hand goes: "Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding"


(reprise)

Hey Steve, good to see you're well. Great video, though I'm wondering what kind of video editing software you use because the sound cuts out when you show the images. Wouldn't it also have just been easier to hold up the "production models" yourself instead of cutting to still shots of them?
 
Bah, Pat should probably be more concerned about the rings that make you older and crazier and more senile every time you get pricked with them.

I did a search on Snopes, because I did not know this, and wanted more information on his technique for avoiding the horns and whether he prefers bearded goats.

:) I guess they haven't caught up with this development yet.
 
Every time Pat Roberston thinks that no one has been talking about him for a while, he comes up with something ten times as stupid as the last thing he said to get people to talk about him again.

He is getting up there in years. Eventually, he will develop some kind of illness or affliction, and I hope that many, many people tell him over and over again that God must be punishing him for something he's done (like being secretly gay or something). He is one of the most despicable human beings on Earth.
 
I'm confused. Pat Robertson is admitting there is a way for a straight person to get AIDS, but he also thinks only gays have AIDS?
 
I had a very frustrating time getting to the video. I couldn't get the Huffington Post one to load. When I finally did get the video, on DailyMotion, I couldn't get rid of that message that they want to store it on my computer. I hit "deny" over and over again to no avail. For all that, I did hear the twit make his irresponsible and unsupported assertion about the gay ring bearers (Didn't you figure out the Frodo and Sam had something going in Mordor?).

Looking up Robertson's statistics, I found that he was born in 1930, making him 83. It's possible some form of senior dementia has kicked in. However, it's also possible, what with his praying hurricanes away from Virginia and other nonsense, that he's both dishonest and delusional, with or without the added complication of senile dementia.
 
Robertson:
THERE ARE LAWS NOW -- I THINK THE HOMOSEXUAL COMMUNITY HAS PUT THESE DRACONIAN LAWS ON THE BOOKS TO PROHIBIT PEOPLE FROM DISCUSSING THIS PARTICULAR INFLICTION.
YOU CAN PEOPLE YOU HAVE A HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, BUT YOU CAN'T TELL ANYBODY ABOUT AIDS.

I don't know what the heck he's talking about here. :boggled: I know there are patient confidentiality laws and so on that prevent people from revealing that someone else has AIDS (or any other medical condition, for that matter). But I have never heard of a law that prevents someone from saying, "I have AIDS" or "I am HIV-positive." In fact, in Canada, if you have HIV/AIDS and you don't tell your sexual partner about it, you can be charged with sexual assault.
 
I find it hard to believe that he simultaneously has senior dementia and holds the world record for leg press.
 
I think people who take such an extreme interest in what goes on between consenting adults are publicly fighting their own private battles. The self loathing is strong in this one. Deep down I suspect old Pat here is into some pretty wild stuff, like "Silence of the Lambs" wild.
