It's not a mischaracterization. He said They have been cursed ever since and need to come to God (since the pact with the devil). How else can you interpret those remarks. You seem to know the good Robertson does, why not admit this stupid, cruel, non-Christian incident. By implication they had it coming and we should not send aid because God will strike them again.

He does this about every 18 months and usually back tracks a few days later.

Forgot to ping you apologists on #14.

See my comment #16.

I’m getting hit from both sides of this issue.

Not a real Robertson fan, Operation Blessing has been giving support to Haiti for a long time, and has already sent millions of dollars in aid for this disaster.

we should not send aid because God will strike them again.

This, in the midst of a report on the aid he is mobilizing and talking about his aidworkers already on the ground there from prior to the earthquake.

Read the history of the country. Haiti was a tragic place before the earthquake and has been throughout most of its history.

His remarks were describing the aid that is going in, and they were directed to the people who are paying for that aid. And the implication is that there is much to be done there even once the earthquake is cleaned up.

He is not merely a talking head. He was involved in Haiti before the newspeople woke up to it.
