If you had read my previous posts, you'd know I wasn't defending Robertson's comments, neither was I condemning them. Youre asking me to explain the unexplainable - I don't know and neither do you - and I won't even try.
I was saying that by allowing the other side to shame & embarrass you with the words of another you are playing into their hands.
Why allow them that power? Robertson didn't bind your hands, you did.

The only defense I had was to un-bind myself from Robertson.
I reminded them that the Mennonites and the Roman Catholics were the FIRST rescue efforts on the ground, before even the Haitian National Guard, and that they never seek publicity and NEVER buy air time on TV or radio to ask for money.
These organizations are almost always the first on the ground anywhere in the world with medicine, food, temporary shelter and sanitation, and clothing.
I am NOT a Mennonite, neither am I a Roman Catholic, by the way.
