 ''"I also suggested we could make the world better by going into media, which is exactly the reason why Falwell and Robertson have these colleges to train people to go into media. They're going to use the same thing to put their clones in place to keep the lid on stuff, and they're out there. There was a guy who graduated from Robertson's University who was working at Fox Television Network on the Joan Rivers Show. They're out there, they're already in place. These are like moles. You don't know that they came from that brainwash camp, but if you're talking about a Christian Lord, you're talking about doing the work of an imaginary deity that wants to keep people stupid. That's the job. So, these are people who ultimately, when they are in place, will keep "content" from managing to get into the airwaves."'' - [[Interview by Bob Marshall]], 22 October 1988.
-''"Pat Robertson is a tremendous showman, but I also think that he qualifies as one of the most heinous individuals on the planet, just because of some of the things that he's saying. It's just so two-faced. (..) Well, let's say you subtract all the religious content from what Robertson says. Just from an ethical and moral standpoint, I believe that what he preaches is questionable. He's really a situational ethics kinda guy. He's a stinker. And [[Jimmy Swaggart|Swaggart]], to me is not quite as dangerous, but just as heinous. - - Frank Zappa in ''[[They're Doing the Interview of the Century, Part 1]]'', [[Den Simms]], [[Eric Buxton]], Rob Samler, ''[[Society Pages]]'', April 1990.
