The personification of evil: Pat Robertson on Haiti

[Missy Vixen]

This is a piece of video that should be tied to the right-wing till long after we're gone. After all, it's all Haiti's fault this happened.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5nraknWoes

If those who watch his programs didn't know he was evil before today, they do now.

[rd_kent]

1. Whats even scarier is that so many people believe what he says.

[jasi2006]

36. I guess he praises Dominica because it's Rush's hangout.

They were spared this time but what do you think is behind their "prosperity." A lot of it ain't pretty. My son-law is from there. A lot of wealthy US perverts frequent the place.

[arcadian]

69. Dominica is not on the island of Hispaniola

It is an island nation on it's own.

[blondeatlast]

2. My speakers are on the fritz--and it is probably just as well.

I don't think I want to know what he said.

[Missy Vixen]

34. It's evil

You'll either cry, or immediately click on a website to give another donation to Haitian disaster relief.

Frankly, I think he's senile, but I'm sure the fundies that watch that program think he's a real man of God...

:eyes:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

3. YouTube blocked. What does he say? Is that after the quake? -nt

[NYC_SKP]

17. Haiti made a deal with the Devil when they kicked out the French, and Christianity...

"Pat Robertson discusses the crisis in Haiti, saying the country has been cursed ever since it made a "pact with the Devil" and that what the country needs is "a great turning to God.... "

[spotbird]

23. Pat said the people

of Haiti made a pact with the devil to be liberated from French rule, and as a result their people are still suffering today.

[elocs]

4. Robertson should be familiar with the story of Job. Bad things happen to good people ALL THE TIME.

The Bible says that the rain falls and the sun shines upon the just and the unjust. Today's translation: Shit happens.

[Forkboy]

5. When this asshole dies, the first person to complain about gravedancing gets a smack in the face.

[Rebubula]

9. Yeah....

...normally I am one of those 'no need to dance on the graves' person.

However, in Robertson's case I may take the day off and party. This guy is the epitome of religious evil.

Enjoy Hell (too bad I do not believe in that though) you farking asshole....and hopefully soon.

[Berry Cool]

43. And I am normally the same, but in the case of this guy,

I may actually be walking around looking for people to help me fill up my dance card.

He is so vile.

[BolivarianHero]

82. I smoked a fat fucking joint to "honour" Pinochet...

I may have to do the same for Robertson.

[redwitch]

12. LOL

I have to agree. LOL

[progressoid]

14. Yep. n/t

[Missy Vixen]

35. Oh, I won't dance on his grave

I'll be thankful he's no longer with us.

I wonder how humiliated any member of his family who can think for themselves is today.

[fascisthunter]

47. .

[Downtown Hound]

62. Here here!

I remember all the whining about Jerry Fuckface's death and how we "should show respect." Respect is wasted on evil, selfish, ignorant, craptacular specimens of humanity like these.

[Dappleganger]

66. ROFL!

I grew up listening to that jerk in VA Beach and can't wait until that asshole breathes his last breath. He used to say some of the most vile things about Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, both of whom are christians.

[arcadian]

71. Forkboy keepin it real.

:thumbsup: :rofl: I'm book marking this so I can revisit this when he kicks the bucket, I don't think he has long, but the fucker might live another 10 years.

[alarimer]

73. I am actively wishing a painful death on him as we speak.

He and his co-religionists can go to hell.

[Brickbat]

6. He is a sick, sick man.

[Wind Dancer]

68. .... to put it mildly!!!

The man is disgusting beyond belief.

[WeDidIt]

7. What a disgusting piece of shit

That fucker's gonna regret he ever said that bullshit.

[MineralMan]

8. Proof there is no God. If there were, it would have

struck this evil man down decades ago.

[blondeatlast]

10. For those who can't access the video (or who have crappy speakers like mine),

a little help please (although I'm fairly certain I will be infuriated.)

[hootinholler]

13. The jist is

It's the same island with Haiti on one end and the Dominican Republic on the other. Long ago they (Haiti) made a pact with the devil and have been punished for it ever since.

Not to forget that ol' Pat is a Family Man.

-Hoot

[kenny blankenship]

24. So what did Haiti supposedly get out of this deal? Usually pacts with the Devil are an exchange

which results in the mortal party enjoying fame, fortune, sway over the minds of men. You know: the sort of earthly goods that Pat Robertson has always somehow had a lot of.

[Dappleganger]

27. They got caught by slave traders, apparently.

Of course that blatant FACT somehow eludes the man.

[hootinholler]

61. He really didn't go into that, lol

How would I know? It's not my theory. :shrug:

-Hoot

[LadyoftheRabbits]

16. Basically he said...

that when the Haitians wanted out of the French empire, they made a pact with the devil and got out, and now Robertson says the earthquake is divine retribution.

Infuriating doesn't even cover it. x(

[Paper Roses]

11. Sick man.

[Matariki]

15. I can't bear to watch that - can you sum up what he says?

not that I can't guess.

[donheld]

54. He's saying

they made a pact with the Devil that if he'd get them free from the French they'd serve him. That's why they have so much trouble.

[louis-t]

18. Here is the text. .

And you know, Christy, 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, uh, you know, Napoleon the third and whatever, and they got together and swore a pact to the devil, they said, we will serve you, if you get us free from the Prince, true story. And so the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal.' And they kicked the French out, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free, and ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor. . . the Island of Hispaniola is one island cut down the middle. On the one side is Haiti, on the other side is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is, is, prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty, same Islands, uh, 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're helping the suffering people, and the suffering is unimaginable.

[Matariki]

22. Oh right - they were worshipping their 'black gods' and not robertson's 'white god'

who was created in his own image :eyes:

[louis-t]

30. I think he was talking about voodoo.

I hear 80% are Catholic in Haiti. And of course, there is no evil at all in Dom. Rep. Y'know, cuz, like, they have money. :crazy:

[Matariki]

37. Of course he was. The history taught in Haiti about their Revolution

is that it began with a ceremony at a place called Bwa Kayiman calling upon the spirits for aid in the tremendous struggle ahead. Those spirits were the gods brought with the enslaved Africans to Haiti. From Yoruba, Dahomey, Guinea, the Kongo, etc.

But of course to Pat Roberson and his disrespectful ilk - the only 'real' god is the one made in Robertson's own image - everything else is 'the devil'.

[Matariki]

38. ps - the correct spelling is Vodou

and it is one of the official recognized RELIGIONS of Haiti. 'Voodoo' is a made up Hollywood thing.

[Ignis]

60. Oops, you're right: "Vodou" not "Voudon" in Haiti.

I normally use "Voudon" because that's the generic, Afrocentric term for the worship of the Loa.

But in Haiti it's spelled Vodou, as you say. :thumbsup:

[Ignis]

44. Keep in mind that the Voudon and Catholic populations overlap.

Just like the Santeria and Catholic populations overlap in most of Latin America.

[fascisthunter]

49. that is right!

I learned about this from a co-worker I befriended years ago. Really nice man... I hope well for he, his wife and kids.

[Ignis]

58. Here's hoping he and his family are OK. (nt)

[Ignis]

29. Thanks for the text.

What an unmitigated asshole. :argh:

we need to pray for them

No, Pat, you need to get off your holy-roller ass and help them recover and rebuild.

[Vickers]

19. What a doddering old fool. n/t

[Oregone]

20. If God did that the them for fighting French oppression, then screw your god Pat

But we all know, you are just a horses ass anyway.

[JuniperLea]

21. Too bad lightening bolts are out of fashion...

If there is a God, she is probably furious with this decrepit old idiot.

[Motown_Johnny]

25. When someone says "True Story" you can bet he is making s&%t up

[icymist]

26. Why in world would the vomit from this mans' mouth surprise anyone?

eom

[Libertas1776]

28. And what crime

will your good old God fearin' Americans living around the New Madrid Fault in good old God fearin' Missouri have committed when another 1812 8.0 quake hits them? What crime did they commit 200 years ago? Oh, right, I'm sorry, God works in mysterious ways with you guys. Everyone else, its retribution :eyes:


Fuck you, you evil piece of shit!

[Jack Rabbit]

31. He doesn't know Haitian history

The Haitians were under the heel of the French, but it was the time of the French Revolution that the people revolted and kicked the French out.

Napoleon I attempted to reimpose slavery on Haiti. He threw Haiti's national hero, Toussaint l'Overture, into a prison in the Alps and let him starve.

If the Haitian people made a pact with the Devil to rid themselves of French slave traders, then I say, "God bless them."

[jasi2006]

33. He doesn't know any history and refuses to recognize his own. nt

[abluelady]

32. So Disgusting. n/t

[shawcomm]

39. Robertson is an ignorant son of a bitch

And his mother was indeed a bitch for having him.

[LeftishBrit]

48. He's certainly the son of a bastard

I just looked the disgusting man up on Wikipedia, and found that his father was a very right-wing anti-civil-rights senator from Virginia.

[benld74]

40. Thats it Robertson, PRAY, don't send them ANY of your MONEY,,,

[Autumn]

41. What a nasty low life bastard he is,

so very christian.:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[malaise]

42. If a Muslim cleric had said this

he would be banned from America, banned from Europe and torn to shreds on M$Greedia. Not a word from the hacks.

[Berry Cool]

45. Don't worry, only a few hours until Keith Olbermann comes on.

This is the kind of disgusting behavior he takes special delight in putting on his Worst Persons list.

Edited to say: No, actually he seems to take an especial disgust in putting people like this on the list. When he picks someone like this to give his gold medal to--and he may well do so today--he usually does so not by crowing at the end "WORST--PERSON--IN THE WORLD!!" but by saying, in the same way a hanging judge might condemn a man to death and say "May God have mercy on your soul," "Pat Robertson...*sigh*...today's Worst Person in the World."

[malaise]

56. I hope so

:hi:

[bullwinkle428]

67. I thought Limbaugh's comments today on Haiti would be a stone cold lock,

but then Robertson had to come along and release his own personal stream of evil!

[Dappleganger]

64. You said it!

Time for people to stop treating him as if he's 'Crazy Uncle Pat' and ban him from human society!

[malaise]

65. Tweety just called him a wacko

:D

[guitar man]

46. Tomorrow is payday

I am going to get the transcript, count every vile word he uttered in this disgusting diatribe and donate a dollar per word to the relief fund. What a pukebag he is! :grr:

[Berry Cool]

50. I was just thinking, maybe we can get some good out of this.

Encourage enough people to watch the video, and you could see the donations to earthquake relief come pouring in for quite some time to come. People will be so revolted by it, they'll want to give whatever they can.

[guitar man]

55. I hope so

I know I was thouroughly revolted by it. But not surprised, he came in right on cue. I've passed it around to all my folks and asked them to do the same as I did.

[AspenRose]

52. That's a great idea.

[hootinholler]

70. Make sure you donate in his honor

So he gets the postcard informing him of your gift.

-Hoot

[LeftishBrit]

51. Sick

I am an atheist, but can't help noting how contrary this all is to the teachings of the Gospels: "Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy." "Whatever you did not unto the least of these, you did not unto Me."

[donheld]

53. What a damned fool!

[Odin2005]

57. Monster.

[Mudoria]

59. As a Christian..

all I have to say about Pat Robertson is he gives Christianity a bad name. What a douchebag.

[Vidar]

63. K&R.

[tonysam]

72. He's lost it, but he never had it in the first place

He's saying Haiti deserves exactly what it gets.

Why should he even be raising money for relief if he hates that country?

[Scurrilous]

74. K & R

:thumbsup:

[RagAss]

75. He puts the Nut in Nutbag !

[Quantess]

76. Kick

[fishwax]

77. what an asshole

:puke:

[upi402]

78. Imagine no religion

Still hoping there is a hell for all religious whackjobs.

[BolivarianHero]

79. What a fucking idiot...

I hope this fuckwad gets lynched, waterboarded, and then left alone with Hugo Chavez and a gun.

[spanone]

80. a special room in hell for this despicable fuck

[BolivarianHero]

81. So who's going to be the "giver" in Satan's Special Room?

Thurmond, Robertson, or Falwell?
