Pat Robertson is a misanthropic, sociopathic,
nasty, bitter, bloviating,
racist, pasty-faced neo-nazi,
aryan supremacist, pampered, pompous,
greedy, grasping, slime tongued liar,
TV Huckster, Christian hypocrite,
flapjawed fool
with the conscience of a sewer rat
What other kind of person could say a thing like that?
Who is Pat Robertson and why am I talking about him in such a negative manner? Pat Robertson is an American Televangelist who raises money by the bucketload from literal minded bible believers. He said that the folks in Haiti got what they deserved, for being devil worshippers or something like that.
They made a pact with the devil in the 1790s, he said, adding in a very sincere sounding aside “true story.” Free us from the French, he said they said, and we will serve and worship you.
Now, Robertson says, the devil is calling in the debt. It was Satan who made the earth shake on Tuesday, killing somewhere in the neighborhood of 50,000 people, leaving hundreds of thousands, perhaps even over a million, injured, homeless, desperate and grieving.
It’s not the 1st time Robertson has said something like this. He said that 9/11 was God’s punishment for America because of our acceptance of the gay lifestyle and that Hurricane Katrina was God’s revenge on New Orleans for being New Orleans. All sorts of perverted stuff goes on down there.
It gets worse. Sure, the Reverend Robertson sees God as a vengeful god. It’s an ugly viewpoint, but hardly unique. But lets re-examine what happened in 1790 that Robertson refers to as a deal with the devil.
Haiti was, at the time, a lucrative territory of the French Empire. Planters were making big bucks growing sugar cane and turning it into rum. Slaves were treated brutally. In 1790, the slaves revolted. Twelve years later, they finally achieved their independence.
Pat Robertson obviously thinks that was a very wrong thing for them to do.
There is nothing I can say about Pat Robertson that is bad enough.

Pat Robertson was just trying to discourage his flock from cutting deals with Lucifer. It’s common among conservative evangelicals to give your eldest son to Satan in return for material wealth or perhaps having your favorite stock car driver get a poll position at Talledega.
Once you understand that, you’ll understand why he blamed Katrina on the gehz, he’s just trying to cut back on the sodomy in the ranks. I mean, give the guy a break, look at what he’s working with.
That would, in fact, explain a lot.
