So often, evil is simple to identify. You know the historically bad people. But, then again, once in a while Pat Robertson opens his pie hole and reminds us that a different kind of evil sometimes creeps along like that dirty little wolf in minister’s clothing.
If you missed it, this “pillar of Christianity” decided that, while the people of Haiti were suffering from a devastating earthquake, many of whom, at that very moment were buried beneath the rubble clinging to life, he should let everyone know that the disaster was actually their fault, no pun intended. The convoluted logic he used to arrive at this fatuous conclusion has something to do with a deal Haiti made with the Devil, or so he claims, to release them from French rule two centuries ago, but his reasoning really isn’t the issue.
This unfeeling, uncaring, apostate may be a Christian, but he isn’t Christian. Those who have a heart, mind, soul and whatever else is missing from this guy must loudly excoriate him instead of ignoring him like a crazy uncle. Whenever he opens his mouth, we all get painted with the same brush.

That's not how I recall that particular segment.
Frankly I think it was far more telling about "that side of existence" that Martha Coakley, the Democrat running for former Senator Charles Sumner's seat, ordered her thugs to beat down a Weekly Standard reporter she felt was following her too closely.
Oh freaking please .........
It is insane and totally unacceptable to think that there is are spiritual forces at work in the universe. It is just so insensitive not to mention backward to suggest such utter nonsense. The President’s spokesman took a stand against such nonsense the other day. How dare anybody try to suggest anything beyond natural phenomena.
“Operation Blessing program. “
Read yesterday,,, something like 1.5 billion to 105 countries. I believe that’s close to correct. I’m not a fan, but he does do a lot of charitable work.
FYI - it is not “insane”, “unacceptable”, “nonsense” or “backward” to take a Biblical stance - and that includes the fact that spiritual warfare is alive and well in our universe - apart from anyone’s belief or acceptance of it. Having said that, I fail to see what that has to do with a compassionate response of aid in light of disasters. What does one have to do with the other? It wouldn’t matter what caused the disaster - just our response to it.
It's every believer's duty.
You forgot the /sarcasm tag. If not, you should have. This writer is full of ignorance. Pat Robertson wasn’t speaking for you, nimrod (writer of article).
I agree. I thought that I poured the sarcasm on pretty thick.
I don’t use the sarcasm tag. I think that it insults the intelligence of the reader. I have too much respect for folks here.
Say what? Charles Sumner? Who the heck is that. It's Ted Kennedy's seat, or should I say the Peoples Seat as Mr. Brown so aptly put it.
Hey n00b, Robertson had his people on the ground and helping the victims of that earthquake in record time, and what he said about Haiti being a hotbed of voodoo and occultic activity is absolutely CORRECT.
And he did not condemn anyone, in fact he was encouraging everyone to PRAY for and to HELP those in need, exactly what Jesus Christ would have us do.
Your agenda is clear: you don’t like Pat Robertson, and that is why YOU opened YOUR piehole.
Try paying attention to what Robertson actually said, instead of propagating lies about him.
Your know what they say about liars don’t you?
It does outrage me too. Why would anyone think there is something beyond the plates moving to and fro? Remember those poor souls at Sodom and Gomorah and Abraham blaming them for their sins. What a jerk Abraham.!!
Say what? Charles Sumner? Who the heck is that. It's Ted Kennedy's seat, or should I say the Peoples Seat as Mr. Brown so aptly put it.
I saw the clip of Robertson. He didn’t blame the people of Haiti.
What he was guilty of—it’s his schtick—is claiming to have a “spiritual angle” on the situation. It was in bad taste.
What he actually said was historically accurate, and it isn’t preposterous to look for the demonic in Haiti—it’s all over the place.
BTW: Has anyone heard any apologies from France for the slavery, cruelty, and general barbarity of their colonial past? If you want to find poverty, misery, and violence in the world, a good place to start is anyplace in America, Africa, or Asia where they speack French.
And the Great, RATIONAL Actor, DANNY GLOVER claimed that the same said Earthquake was caused by GLOBAL WARMING...
The Haiti/Devil “pact” goes back a long time...longer than Rev. Robertson was AROUND, I do Believe.
and Danny Glover praised: Venezula, Cooba, Brazil for their response to the disaster, but dissed his own country and promoted the marxist agenda of Global Warming. Has Danny Glover done anything for charity or anyone else other than Danny Glover?
At least this TROLL waited a couple weeks before showing us their IQ.. now lower than NOBAMA’s popularity rating.
