News Pat Robertson is a heartless lunatic.

[Dembadon]

Evangelical and former Republican Presidential candidate Pat Robertson recently suggested on his show "The 700 Club" that the tragedy in Haiti was retribution for a age-old "pact with the devil" made by Haitians.

I can't believe that this imbecile would say something like this after such a tragedy. I wish I had the resources to ship him off into space and rid this planet of his moronic outbursts.

That's his job.

10 SAY $something really stupid
20 IF $AUDIENCE < $PREV_AUDIENCE
30 $something really stupid ++
40 goto 10

Dembadon, this is how he makes news. Every time we have a national disaster of some sort, he blames it on the victims, and thus makes headlines. Just look at what he said about Hurricane Katrina. The man's an attention hog.

I don't know how you arrived at him being heartless considering that quote comes from a speech where he is asking people to pray and send relief support to Haiti, and his ministry runs orphanages, clinics etc. in Haiti...

I don't care what his "ministry" does; it doesn't justify blaming a tragedy of this magnitude on the people to whom it happened.

Mr. PAT ROBERTSON (Host, �The 700 Club�): They said we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True Story. And so the devil said ok, it's a deal. And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor.

I see a common theme, here. New Orleans used to belong to the French. In fact, the revolution in Haiti (plus Pierre LaPlace's inept administration) contributed to the French losing heart in the entire idea of the New World.

Likewise, Bob Ney (R-OH) renamed French Fries to Freedom Fries and subsequently pled guilty to charges of conspiracy and making false statements in relation to the Jack Abramoff Indian lobbying scandal.

Walter Jones (R-NC) was also involved in renaming French Fries to Freedom Fries, but, since Ney's bad karma, has gone from having one of the most conservative voting records of any Republican to having one of the most liberal voting records of any Republican.

I think it's clear that Pat Robertson is secretly a French sympathizer.
