TV preacher Pat Robertson changed American politics, but as stevebenen writes, not for the better.
Pat Robertson, the conservative evangelist and media mogul who galvanized the modern Christian right, cultivated a massive national following and regularly drew criticism for his incendiary political statements, died Thursday, according to his official broadcasting network.
Reading this brutal summary, it’s tempting to think someone who said and believed such things would be kept at arm’s length by major American political parties, elected officials and candidates who sought the public’s trust. In recent years, several presidential candidates, after coming up short, have talked about taking their political infrastructure — mailing lists, donors, operatives, etc. — and creating powerhouse organizations. Only one failed candidate actually managed to pull it off in a meaningful way.

Robertson also mounted an unsuccessful presidential bid in 1988 and later founded the once-influential Christian Coalition. He had an enormous impact on American politics and religion, helping to cement an enduring alliance between conservative Christians and the Republican Party.
