Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Boston, affiliated with American United for Separation of Church and State, makes no attempt to conceal his animus toward Robertson and the Christian Coalition. He believes that Robertson has rebounded from his unsuccessful 1988 presidential bid and the concurrent TV evangelist scandals to an even more influential position than before. He portrays Robertson as two-faced, presenting himself as reasonable and moderate to the general media but making demagogic statements in his 700 Club broadcasts and books, which the secular media ignore. Boston diligently surveyed the broadcasts and literature, documenting numerous contradictions in Robertson's positions in the two forums. He also surveys the Christian Coalition's impact on the 1994 elections, with dire predictions for 1996. Only time will tell as to the accuracy of these predictions. For both lay and informed readers.?Richard S. Watts, San Bernardino Cty. Lib., Cal.

Kurzbeschreibung
Televangelist Pat Robertson has built one of the most powerful religious-political movements in American history. His Christian Coalition - with its '700 Club' broadcasting fundamentalism tinged with right-wing politics to an audience of millions, its American Center for Law and Justice legal action group attempting to impose far-right Christian ideas via the courts, and the growing number of graduates from its Regents University - wields a mighty sword within the Republican party in at least 25 states while GOP national leaders and presidential hopefuls court its favour. Despite his power, many Americans are not aware of Robertson's extreme political views or his goals for the United States. This book examines the role Robertson plays in contemporary politics and his efforts to influence American society through his various political organisations, businesses, and broadcast empire.

Format:Taschenbuch
This book brought my worst fears about this sick freak to light. It exposes the hypocrisy, intolerance, rhetoric, and just plain evil inherent in this pathetic excuse for a human being.
Boston's book is well written, and every piece of evidence he provides against Robertson is properly cited. It plainly outlines his goals for America, which include the overturning of vital court descisions like Roe vs. Wade and the 1962 school prayer descision. His main goal, however, is turning this great and free land of ours into a fundamentalist theocracy where most of the freedoms that we take for granted would be nothing more than memories. Robertson has come frighteningly close to realizing these goals. With the political juggernaut that is the "Christian" Coalition, he has been able to become a very powerful behind-the-scenes figure for the GOP and has the abilites to make or break candidates at many levels. All it would take is one or two new radical right-wing justices on the Supreme Court and you can kiss the wall between church and state goodbye.
This man must be stopped. Whether he thinks he is a "Man of God" or not, his goals and views are downright dangerous to this nation and to every person living in it. Do you like the fact that your kids can go to school and not be forced to pray to a God they might not believe in? Do you like the fact you are allowed to practice any religion you see fit without fear of persecution? Do you women who have had abortions appreciate the fact that it was none of the goverment's business? I hope so. Because if this man gets into power, none of freedoms will exist anymore.
Read this book. It is informative, to the point, and peels back the facade of that smiling face which conceals one of the greatest threats to our way of life.
Format:Taschenbuch
Robert Boston did his homework on this one. I have always wondered about Pat Robertson and the 700 hundred club. Wow, this book sheds a lot of light on the inner workings of Pat Robertson's group. This book will not enlighten or change the mind of any Robertson follower but it can scare the heck out of the rest of us. Read this book then read Robertson's book "The New World Order". It confirms why Robert Boston thinks Robertson is the most dangerous man in America.
Format:Taschenbuch
Boston's expose of Pat Robertson, his billion-dollar, multi-media empire and international business interests stands alone as an indictment of Robertson as an evangelist. That Robertson is actually a politician in clerical guise makes him all the more nefarious. Make no mistake: the Christian Coalition is waging a grass-roots war against common American citizens, charging that any who do not believe as they do (e.g., Fundamentalist Christian conservatives), are essentially enemies of the state. As we approach the Presidential elections this year, it becomes more evident the stranglehold this faction has on American politics. This book is a must-read for anyone who thinks they "know" what the Religious Right is after: it's a huge wake-up call. Robertson must be shown to the American public as the danger to freedom he truly is.
