The 'Blame America' Right

[ck4829]

"In the wake of Katrina's devastation, several conservative pundits have taken to blaming the United States for the death and suffering the hurricane caused.

Former Nixon administration "evil genius" and ex-con Charles Colson -- also known for advocating the firebombing of the Brookings Institution -- claimed on his radio show that God "allowed" Katrina to happen as a reminder to America of the importance of the war on terror and "to get our attention so that we don't delude ourselves into thinking that all we have to do is put things back the way they were and life will be normal again."

Trinity Broadcasting Network host Hal Lindsey added that Katrina is proof that "the judgment of America has begun."

And -- in what may be the single most predictable comment about Katrina to date -- Pat Robertson suggested that Katrina was God's punishment for abortion."

1. These bigoted fools annoy me to no end,

saying what happened to NO was God's punishment for gays in NO,
sin in NO, and now abortion.

Give me a fricking break! If God was punishing cities for sin, Las Vegas would be first on his hit list.

If I believed this kind of nonsense, I'd say that the Bush junta is proof that the judgment of America has begun.

2. Good ol' Chuck

Before Dennis Miller turned repug, he had a good bit about how only the assholes like Colson found Christ after they had totally fucked up their lives and were being sent to jail, and if Christ had been paying attention, he would have crossed the street when Colson spotted him.

7. I thought that

Katrina was punishment for letting Ellen Degeneres host the Emmys. At least that's what Pat said before. :)
