More than he speaks to anyone else, anyway.

Do I think that God told Pat Robertson there would be a mass killing terrorist attack on the US in 2007? Well, I'm not sure, but I doubt it.
Pat Robertson was also supposedly told that a tsunami would hit the US in 2006, which obviously didn't happen, but could have, given the turmoil of a hurricane season we had in 2005.
I personally think Pat Robertson makes likely predictions of what can happen, and when they are fulfilled, he expects us to be full of awe, and when they don't, he wants us to just brush them off. I have no clue whether some or all of Pat Robertson's predictions are because he hears them from God or whether he makes all or most of them up, but I see no reason why anyone should treat each of them as absolute truth when it is shown that his predictions are not always correct. I think they are purposefully ambiguous, while also leave room for catastrophic possibilities.
For instance, this "mass killing" the US can expect in 2007, could easily be considered as fulfilled if just 10 people die, but also leaves room for the possibility that can include hundreds of people. It is probably all a ruse to get people riled up.

No, Pat is a decieved person and decieves others. Proof? Deueteronomy 18:21,22
Pat admits he is sometimes wrong and according to scripture if a man claims to be speaking from God and those things, yes it means all things do not come to pass, then that man is not from God. Just look up above scripture and judge for yourself.

Pat Robertson tries to pull the wool over people's eyes. With some he is successful.

Why do you care? Why does it matter? By your question you premise that God is and by being a god he is fully capable of shutting Pat Robertson or anyone else up that is contrary to his will. The Bible is full of patriarchs that made mistakes and were in their moments of human leading in error and wrong but God used them anyway -- as the scriptures put it He places heavenly treasures in earthen vessels and using the small things to confound the mighty and the foolish things in the eyes of men to undo that which seems wise in the eyes of men.
If Pat Robertson or any person produces fruit/works and speaks words that are congruent with the mind and will of God manifested in the Bible which is God message to man then do they not hear from God?
Other than that , again, God is quite capable of raising Pat up or bringing him down and needs no human inquisition to defend his words from those that claim to speak for him for as the scriptures say he makes all things to work for good -- even the words of Pat -- toward those that are called according to his purpose.
So the question, are you called according to his purpose and walking in his covenant and gathering for Him is the better one and in the affirmative works all things even he words of Pat to your benefit either by their contrast or their compliment.

No I think that Pat Robertson is just a big jerk who uses his ability to tell really incredible lies to scare his blue haired audience into signing over their social security checks to him.

If so, god is a confused and angry person who can't get his facts straight, is often wrong and misleading, and like torturing people. If there really is a god, I would hate to think it was Pat's god.

I think he speaks to himself
Little questions like how can I strengthen my political alliances and make loads more money
Though I understand that a lot of Christians would think that he talks to god. Why wouldn't they?

God speaks to us all... And we have to allow Him (God) to judge every man.
God does not expect us to believe what anyone says just because they said God told them so and so... God expects us to check everything said to us by his Word and his Holy Spirit, which has been freely provided for all to partake in, if we yield to him.
As to Pat, I know that He has experienced God before. But I can not judge him, nor you! I'll be willing to answer more of your questions... please email or IM blessomania@yahoo.com

I think He probably yells at Pat to stop annoying Him.
