I posted earlier on Pat Robertson’s imbecilic suggestion that the Haitian earthquake, as well as their other day-to-day trials and tribulations, were the result of “God” placing a “curse” on the Haitian people for “making a deal with the devil.” Moments ago, the Haitian ambassador to the United States appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show and gave Pat Robertson a piece of his mind, as well as a history lesson.
If the video won’t play (as is so often the case with MSNBC videos), click here to watch it.
I wonder if, on whatever planet he lives, Pat Robertson finds himself regretting what he said, or if he’s so far gone that he doesn’t understand what all the kerfuffle is about.
UPDATE: Keith Olbermann did some piling on of his own tonight, directed at Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh, who (quelle surprise) said something equally as godawful about the situation in Haiti. Let Keith explain:
Radical pro-bullying, pro-hate crimes, anti-gay activist and false prophet Robertson once again embarrasses decent, real American Christians everywhere. I rebuke him in the name of Jesus. He needs to repent and ask God for forgivness for his horribly cruel comments when possibly thousands of Haitians have just been killed. Someone so heartless and cold has no clue about the love of Jesus.
There was an excellent article on the Huffington Post about this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-rowe/the-never-ending-horror-o_b_422615.html
Robertson’s foulness emphasizes why it’s time to question the tax-exempt status of religious organizations.
