filkertomDon't tell me how wonderful and virtuous God is. Not today. Not when, once again, God makes Pat Robertson open his big fat yap:
You want evil? Saying that an entire nation's troubles are based on a two-hundred-year-old fairy story, and further saying that they'd better come to your way of thinking before even worse happens... using a goddamn 7.0 earthquake as a warning poster to boost your church's recruitment... that is fuckin' evil.
ETA: Even Fox News is offended. Well, at least Shepard Smith, who is way, way better than a lot of people there.
And you know, Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon the third, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you will get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal.This greedy, squinty fucktard has, does, and will continue to blame anything on various and sundry people turning away from what he tells them is the True Faith. Notice that I didn't say "what he believes", 'cause I don't even think he believes it himself.
And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other. Desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It is cut down the middle on the one side is Haiti the other is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have and we meed to pray for them a great turning to god and out of this tragedy I'm optimistic something good may come. But right now we are helping the suffering people and the suffering is unimaginable.

Date: 2010-01-13 09:00 pm (UTC)Speaking of how ignorant Robertson is...while scanning through his recent broadcasts for that video, I discovered that he regularly has a segment where he dispenses medical advice.
Seriously.
I'm creeped out even more now.
Anyway, on one of them, someone asks him about this strange ringing in his ear (a condition called tinnitus). Robertson confidently informed his co-host that this was a problem called Tinactin. I'd demand that his medical license be revoked, except he doesn't have one.
To add to the "evil" quotient, that bit about the pact with the devil is a long-running Protocols of the Elders of Zion-like piece of white supremacist propaganda. Notwithstanding that he practices bibliolatry to an extent he likely thinks slavery is A-OK, probably ole Pat doesn't want all those African workers in the diamond mines he owns to get any ideas...
No matter which way you slice it, he's scum and anything that comes out of his mouth is loathsome.
