QUESTION: The Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi has called for your resignation and I'm wondering if you have a response to that.
BROWN: The president is in charge of that, not me.
QUESTION: Have you offered your resignation?
BROWN: Pardon?
QUESTION: Did you offer your resignation...
(CROSSTALK)
BROWN: I serve totally at the will of the president of the United States.
QUESTION(MSM reporter): FEMA has three charities listed in a press release that they sent out. One of them is Operation Blessing. Can you tell me why that charity is on the list and who put it there?
BROWN: I'm sure the staff did and it's there because they've offered to help and are doing good work.
QUESTION: Operation Blessing is a Pat Robertson organization. Should that be on there?
BROWN: If they're willing to work, if they're willing to help -- we're not turning help away, we're not turning away help from anybody.

BTW where are the Reverend jackson's and sharpton's relief operations?
They take, not give.
On the one hand they're bitching about FEMA getting in the way of help, and on the other they're bitching because FEMA is facilitating what they consider to be the wrong kind of help. And the idiots probably don't even see the contradiction.
Are there times when one wishes "One could be there?"
Pat says some goofy stuff sometimes but I believe his heart is good. And Operation Blessing is a very reputable group that helps people all around the world. Operation Blessing is no way related to his suggestion that we should OFF the President of Venezuela.
That MSM jerk really teed me off with his criticizing a charitable organization trying to help, especially with the dearth of real help from jackson and sharpton.
Does the media have a problem with mary doing work with the radical George soros organization? The one that wants to overthrow the President.
I have to give points to Brown for not reaching out and choking that SOB.
BUMP!
Yep Pat can put his foot in his mouth, but like you said he does have a good heart, especially in times of suffering, but the MSM has to find a way to make sure that every good deed does not go unpunished.
If I remember correctly they were one of the 1st to arrive afetr Hugo in 89.
BTW where are the Reverend jackson's and sharpton's relief operations?
I think they are raising money for the legal defense fund for the looters
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have never done any of these things, nor will they.
The only good thing Sharpton has ever done in his life was adopting a child who had a single mother who died on 9/11.
Jackson, can't even claim as much.
Note that Pat Robertson is still happily married, while Jesse Jackson has had an affair producing an out of wedlock child and Al Sharpton is currently seperated from his wife and is in a relationship with another woman.
Too bad he couldn't respond, "Have you offered your resignation for impersonating a reporter?"
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
THANKS.
Operation Blessing does tremendous work, and has been around for years.
When they came to Freeport Long Island many years ago, giving out several trucks (18 wheelers) of food to the poor, Newsday had to cover it. So what they did was never mention who gave the food, or show the sides of the trucks with 'Operation Blessing" on the side.
It was hard to write the article giving no credit to Pat Robertson or OP, but they managed it.
It was an eye opener for me. I was involved with OP at the time, and Newsday gave me my first lesson in media bias. Thank you, Newsday, for the education.
>> Sheesh I don't agree with Pat Robertson 100% of the time, but my gosh crticizing his Operation Blessing?
I agree with Pat Robertson far more than I agree with the MSM. Therefore, my wife and I donated to hurricane relief through Operation Blessing!!!
From what I've seen, Operation Blessing is right in the midst of the relief effort, certainly in Mississippi. I guess the MSM wants to extend the silly separation of church/state BS to disaster relief.
I went to hurricanehousing.org today it is on Move on's site.
