Pat Robertson: Some Gays in San Francisco Deliberately Infect People with AIDS

Pat Robertson Defends His Warning of Gay AIDS Handshake Rings (The Atlantic)

The Christian Broadcasting Network, which has alternately apologized or defended Pat Robertson a lot lately, reportedly edited out a comment by the 700 Club co-host from the archived version of today's broadcast. The host, responding to a question from a viewer who was concerned about an HIV-positive church member, claimed on air that gay people in San Francisco use rigged rings to try and give people AIDS when they shake hands. In a later version of the episode posted to CBN's website, however, those comments were nowhere to be found.
