FEMA says send money to Pat Robertson's charity...
...even though in the past it has diverted funds for a diamond mine.


Is this for real?

1. Oh, it's for real
but I think it's hypocritical since it may have been Robertson who made God send Hurricane Katrina as punishment for calling for the asassination of Hugo Chavez.

3. That's why Bush keeps talking about sending cash...
It's untraceable.

7. Holy effing shit. This is going beyond surreal.
They are already using this to make their cronies rich, and they pick one who desperately needs rehabilitation of his character, and the underlying story is that they want to privatize and "Faith Base" the rescue mission.

8. No way. Pat's job was to "turn back" the hurricane and the schtick failed.

10. I'd rather chew off my left arm than give any money to that ass clown...
How do we know any funds we give will make it to the victims and not an airconditioning unit for his poodle's dog house. Give to the Red Cross... they aren't under this administration's thumb.

11. I have no problem with it IF ...
they actually deliver the aid. However, in practice, I suspect that what is sent to Operation Blessing could well end up in Pat's diamond mines or arms factories or whatever the rat-bastard has his filthy, money grubbing hands in.
