F**king idiot (Republican) Pat Robertson blames devestating Haiti earthquake on "pact with the Devil"
Taylor
With The Devil"
Filed under: Etc.
{{{ntvnat video goes here}}}
Pat Robertson made a ridiculous proclamation on The 700 Club that the
reason Haiti was affected by the earthquake is because of a "pact with
the devil" they made to be free from the French.
Disgusting.
Watch the idiocy above and keep Haiti in your thoughts and prayers.

wiping out my place?
Crossfire
diseased Haitians to our country to infect others. Soon we will have Voo
Doo ceremonies in the White House.

I'm surprised he didn't say: "Donate money to The 700 Club and help
keep the Devil -- via an earth quake -- away from Virginia (their HQ)
and keep us safe." (the kooky liberal westcoast? ah, fuck them!
they're not one of us any way!")
Ah, Pat Robertson, a pillar of tolerance.

I've long been aware that guys like Robertson see God as an angry old
man with bad aim, who sends tsunamis and earthquakes to punish the
guilty but somehow manages to take out a lot of ordinary people as
collateral damage (while leaving a lot of evil people sitting pretty
in their palaces). But this adds a new wrinkle: God is also REALLY
SLOW, and waits decades or centuries to wipe out, not the people who
(in this case) made a deal with the devil, but their distant
descendents.
I suppose this is the kind of God Pat Robertson would want to be, if
he were God.

this bloviating mass of sin for the evildoing gasbag he is?

After going through that list, I find the following two paragraphs to
be unnaceptable:
":On race relations in the late 1940s and early 1950s: "There were no
politics to polarize us then, to magnify every slight. The 'negroes'
of Washington had their public schools, restaurants, bars, movie
houses, playgrounds and churches; and we had ours." (Right from the
Beginning, Buchanan's 1988 autobiography, p. 131)"
- This is far too glib as it avoids the reality of an anti-
constitutional regime that was operational at that time.
"Writing of "group fantasies of martyrdom," Buchanan challenged the
historical record that thousands of Jews were gassed to death by
diesel exhaust at Treblinka: "Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon
monoxide to kill anybody." (New Republic, 10/22/90) Buchanan's columns
have run in the Liberty Lobby's Spotlight, the German-American
National PAC newsletter and other publications that claim Nazi death
camps are a Zionist concoction. "
- And this is flat-out false as I know for a fact that diesel engines
do emit enough CO to kill people.
But all the rest of the list is within the bounds of debate. Yes,
Buchanan does skate close to the edge... and yes, he does goad his
opposition, but he does not directly challenge reality. Instead, he is
pushing his opinion.
PS: I never understood what was upsetting to some factions to have
catholic nuns build a convent near a concentration camp in catholic
Poland. What was that about? Religious contamination by having nuns
pray for the souls of the dead?

That they were freed from the French back in the 1800s. He doesn't
give the Haitians credit for overthrowing their oppressors, he thinks
it's divine, or satanic rather, intervention.
But the question he does bring up that makes sense is why does the
Dominican Republic prosper while Haiti fails? They have access to the
same resources. They're both on the Isle of Hispaniola.

Just as consistent as you are as an Israel-firster.

Does DR really "prosper"? The resorts there are nice, but they're
surrounded by walls and guarded by guys with automatic weapons. I
understand the rest of it is a shithole - maybe a bit better than Haiti,
but still a shithole.
lab~rat >:-)
You have to view them through the lens of the Caribbean, not by US
standards. In that case, they do. The fact that they have protection
isn't unusual for a lot of places outside the US. They've been doing
it in Mexico for years and a lot of places in Europe were guarded when
I visited there in the 80s.
They have the largest economy in the Caribbean and Central America.
That may not be saying much, but it is when they're geographically
linked to Haiti which is in abject poverty and the poorest country in
the Western Hemisphere.
David Johnston
The story he's talking about isn't original to him. A French
historian after the Haitian Revolution claimed that there was some
kind of big pagan or satanic ceremony before the overthrow. Me I
think he was just annoyed by his nation's embarassment.
KK
It certainly isn't. Plus, a large GDP doesn't make a place not a
shithole - a large *per capita* GDP makes a place not a shithole. And
the DR's 119th in the world by that measure, and behind Costa Rica,
Panama, Grenada, Mexico, Barbados, and all the other touristy countries
in the area.

Haiti is certainly more of a shithole than the DR. But most of the DR
is, indeed, a shithole and not "prospering".

Robertson said that God is punishing the American right for Bush and
his cronies destroying the economy. That's why they've got their
asses kicked in two elections and according to Michael Steele, have no
chance of recovering until well past 2016.

Again, the issue here is relativity. You can argue that the Dominican
Republic is a shithole, but if you compare it to the rest of the
Caribbean it really isn't *that* bad. Haiti is.
Besides, compared to Haiti, they are prospering infinitely in
humanitarian measures. Haiti has completely mismanaged their
resources. Here's a site with a telling picture:
http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a002600/a002640/
Look at how the deforestation is rampant on Haiti's side, where the
opposite is true in the DR. This is the cause for significant deaths
due to mudslides and drowning any time a tropical storm passes
through.
The Haitian government is corrupt, they have no true infrastructure,
80% of the country is in abject poverty. These problems don't exist
to a marked degree in the DR.

You didn't ask why it prospered in relation to Haiti - your question
assumes that it's understood that the DR *does* and Haiti *doesn't*.
There's a difference, and that's why I replied. The DR does not
"prosper".
If you're just saying that Haiti is more of a shithole than the DR, I'm
on board.

I've been there five times. Outside the resorts, it's *really* bad.
Yes, not as bad as Haiti, but still don't-go-anywhere-without-an-armed-
escort bad.
There are ~30 countries in the Caribbean and Central America. The DR is
19th in per capita GDP.

Again, no argument that Haiti is worse. But DR's income distribution is
very disparate: half of its citizens has 18% of GNP, so the *average* per
capita of the lower half is around $2400, which isn't so far from Haiti's
$1700.
Put it this way: if you had to be dropped off on Hispaniola, you'd
choose the Dominican Republic. But if you had to choose anywhere in the
Caribbean or Central America to be dropped off, the DR would be at best
in the bottom third of your list.
lab~rat >:-)
Where else have you been in the Caribbean and Central America? I've
only been to the DR once and Haiti once. I found the DR to be in line
with over half of the islands in the Caribbean in terms of
shit-holey-ness. Central America is generally better than any of the
islands, as far as where I've been. Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua,
in descending order.

Great. Costa Rica and Panama have higher per-capita GDP than the DR,
which jibes with your observation. Nicaragua's is lower. I didn't say
that the DR is the second-worst by measure, I said it was the eleventh-
worst.
Which islands in particular are you comparing it to?

Grenada, St. Croix, St. Kitts, Curacao come to mind first. I had a

Yes and now Danny Glover has made a stupid comment about this as
well. These tragic events bring out the idiot in some people,
Robertson and Glover especially. Pat Robertson is a senile old man
and Danny Glover is no better. I am ashamed of both of these idiots
and I'm also ashamed of obama not reacting faster than what he has.
And shame on the African American young woman sitting besides
Robertson while he spewed his hateful comments. Today, I'm ashamed of
my fellow Christians for not criticizing Robertson more vehemently.
He's a disgrace to us "real" Christians as far as I'm concerned.

He's a dumbass.
You have to take a close look at the history of the Spanish ruled part of
Hispaniola
and the differences in a French ruled Hispaniola.
This jerk is trying pin it all on race........
Because?
Because he's a racist bigot who has predecided
that the differences have to with race.

I hate to say it, but if we all listened to that nutcase 15-20 years ago
we'd be in none of the trouble we are in now. I don't think his
isolationalist plan is 100% on the mark but separating ourselves from
the mideast problems and ONLY sending money over there for tangible
products might have saved the whole area. Saudi Arabia would have taken
over by now but what the fuck should we care? If Middle
eastern-Americans want to lobby for sending our money over to Israel,
Palestine, Kuwait or wherever let them send the money they spend on
lobbyists and leave the US taxpayers out of it.
Let them starve a little and the religious disputes won't seem as
important anymore.

So what there are plenty of idiots out in the world. Blame anyone for
Haiti's problems it's the Fukking Catholic Church preventing Haitian's
using contraception. The Evil Catholic Church has ruined Haiti and
the vast majority of Hispanic nations as well.

In defence of whay Robertson said, Haiti it seems 'is' cursed by bad karma,
would you not agree? EVERY leader of that country has been corrupt! Every
leader has robbed from the hand that feeds them! No prosparity has enriched
the lives of Haitians except for when they escape that Hell hole.

Statement Regarding Pat Robertson's Comments on Haiti
http://www.cbn.com/about/pressrelease_patrobertson_haiti.aspx
CBN.com - VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., January 13, 2010 -- On today's The 700 Club,
during a segment about the devastation, suffering and humanitarian effort
that is needed in Haiti, Dr. Robertson also spoke about Haiti's history. His
comments were based on the widely-discussed 1791 slave rebellion led by
Boukman Dutty at Bois Caiman, where the slaves allegedly made a famous pact
with the devil in exchange for victory over the French. This history,
combined with the horrible state of the country, has led countless scholars
and religious figures over the centuries to believe the country is cursed.
Dr. Robertson never stated that the earthquake was God's wrath. If you watch
the entire video segment, Dr. Robertson's compassion for the people of Haiti
is clear. He called for prayer for them. His humanitarian arm has been
working to help thousands of people in Haiti over the last year, and they
are currently launching a major relief and recovery effort to help the
victims of this disaster. They have sent a shipment of millions of dollars
worth of medications that is now in Haiti, and their disaster team leaders
are expected to arrive tomorrow and begin operations to ease the suffering.

Is the number of Dominicans that come more or less than the number of
Haitians that come? I ask because it's a different question than what
you stated up there...

For the record, you were the first one to mention race. No one else

The hierarchy of the Church and not its parishioners are responsible
for human suffering in Haiti. I don't mean the Church caused the
earthquake because they didn't....but they don't allow family planning
or contraception in Haiti which explains the mass numbers of poor
orphaned children. My God have a heart for these people and call the
Church on the carpet for this abominable behavior.

Because more Haitians practice Voodoo than are Catholic and Jesus
