January 13, 2010 MSNBC HARDBALL


Televangelist Pat Robertson said Wednesday that earthquake-ravaged Haiti has been "cursed" by a "pact to the devil."

"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it," he said on Christian Broadcasting Network's "The 700 Club." "They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal."

Robertson said that "ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other" and he contrasted Haiti with its neighbor, the Dominican Republic.

"That island of Hispaniola is one island. It is cut down the middle; on the one side is Haiti on the other is the Dominican Republic," he said. "Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have and we need 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."

1. How does Pat Robertson know about the alleged deal between
Haiti and the Devil way back in the time of Napoleon III? Was the Rev. there? And if so, why didn't he pray the Devil away? If not, how does he know about this? Surely the Haitians don't talk about any such pact. Is the Rev.'s information straight from the Devil or what?

2. Slavery
Haiti was the only country where African Slaves revolted against the Slavemasters and defeated them.
Since then, Haiti has caught hell as a nation due to a history of racism against the country for freeing themselves.
Pat Robertson is essentially saying that slaves fought for their freedom = made a pact with the devil.

Some things change but some things stay the same.

5. Pat Robertson pro-slavery. I'm surprised that isn't a big item in the news.
Robertson needs to be asked to clarify and explain his statement.

3. Pat knows nothing about anything ... he makes things up out of whole cloth
and he got his Napoleons absolutely wrong.

Check out Juan Cole who thoroughly debunks Robertson's latest looney tunes account.

4. "And I say unto thee...."
"Know not, thy false servant, Pat Robertson...."
"For he has been infected by the locusts from hell..."
"His mind has been lost, like the miserable souls who dwell in the underworld...!"
"Gaze not upon his brow, for ye surely will become a servant of Beelzebub..."
"Haste not, and flee from the lying words that spew from his unholy lips..."
So sayeth the Lord.
"Amen."

LOL....!!!!!!! :evilgrin:
