John Kerry Blasts Pat Robertson for Sharon Comments


Below is a statement by Senator John Kerry on Rev. Pat Robertson's comments on Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon:

"It is beyond shocking to think that as Prime Minister Sharon fights for his life, Pat Robertson would attack his character and disparage the risks Ariel Sharon took to bring peace and security to Israel. At a time like this, you'd expect bigoted tin-horn dictators and petty thugs like President Ahmadinejad of Iran to attack Sharon, but no American who claims to be a leader should stoop so low. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised to hear such venom from someone who claimed Hurricane Katrina was punishment for the people of New Orleans.

"Ariel Sharon is a courageous and good man, and he deserves the world's prayers, just as the people of Israel today deserve an apology from Pat Robertson."
