Pat Robertson Blames Earthquake on Pact Haitians Made with Satan

[LTR]

Source: ABC News

On the Christian Broadcasting Network’s “700 Club” today, after a lengthy interview with a missionary who talked about helping the victims earthquake in Haiti, Rev. Pat Robertson had some interesting thoughts as to why the earthquake struck the impoverished nation:

"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, uh, you know Napoleon the 3rd and 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.'

[frebrd]

2. Isn't that old fart ever going to do the decent thing.....

[The Stranger]

3. And be quick about it.

[polly7]

47. Honestly, I thought he had died.

oops. :blush:

[Joe Bacon]

52. Pat Robertson is a B-HOLE!

I call him a B-Hole because he does not have what it takes to be an A-Hole :rofl:

[AngryOldDem]

61. No, not yet.

First he needs to feel what it's like to have his arms and legs crushed under tons of concrete, after living a life in abject poverty.

[soleft]

4. I thought this was the Onion - unreal!

[glinda]

6. always the opportunist. sad.

[BanzaiBonnie]

7. I'm wondering how Robertson knows about this pact

UNLESS HE WAS THERE!

[davepc]

8. Slaves fighting for the freedom is making a pact with the Devil. Intresting.

What a shitbird.

[LTR]

9. Well, he was a big supporter of Liberian dictator Charles Taylor

Sucking up to him to gain access to diamond mines.

That should tell you something.

[Abq_Sarah]

10. Robertson,

STFU.

[carla]

56. I second the motion!

nearly 300 years of oppression and environmental despoliation and resource theft under the French and the USA, has left Haiti barely able to feed itself and left it's government vulnerable to US policies.
The "devil" has been raping Haiti for a very long time, in the name of "god".
Pat, your failed ministry, lack of compassion and filthy greed have already reserved for you a marvelous seat at the left hand of the Satanic Prince. Enjoy, POS.

PS Earthquakes are caused by activity in tectonic plates, same kind that produces blood diamonds. seems "satan" is busy making baubles for Patty...

[slackmaster]

11. Does that apply to the Roman Catholic Archbishop who was killed?

You can't fix crazy.

[daleo]

12. Has he accused the U.S. founding fathers of this?

"They were under the heel of the British, uh, you know George the 3rd and 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 British.'

[KamaAina]

13. Teh stupid. It burns!

:wtf:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. he should get treatment

[MineralMan]

17. He can come to my place. I'll give him the treatment.

Yes, indeed...

[lsewpershad]

15. I Wonder

where is this pricks god when he speaks like this. Maybe he"s asleep?

[MineralMan]

18. More to the point, where are all the other Christian leaders

condemning his ugly speech? Where could they be?

[carla]

57. Try "non-existent".

God is a lie told by manipulators to frighten the meek into subservience and pave the way for control of their lives. God ISNT!!!

[Kelvin Mace]

62. Amen! /irony

My journey to atheism started when I realized that "the devil" couldn't logically exist. Once you realize the Satan is fiction, the rest fall into place.

[City Lights]

16. Pat is an embarrassment to the human race.

:eyes:

[Ka hrnt]

42. That's putting it mildly.

What an absolutely wretched man he is, using suffering like this.

[New Earth]

19. That's interesting

because I just read on wikipedia that 80% of people in Haiti are Christian or Roman Catholic.

:eyes:

[Roland99]

21. That 20% will get ya every time!

[Roland99]

22. Per CIA - The World Factbook

Roman Catholic 80%, Protestant 16% (Baptist 10%, Pentecostal 4%, Adventist 1%, other 1%), none 1%, other 3%

[Gormy Cuss]

28. For Robertson, Roman Catholics * are* in line with Satan

but he was probably referring to voodoo.

[SylviaD]

31. That's true!

He equates Catholics with Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and anyone else not of his brand of Christianity. Anyone even a bit different in their beliefs serves Satan, according to this man!!

[bowens43]

20. I know that there is no god

because if there was a god, this ignorant, bigoted piece of shit would have been struck down a long time ago......

[marasinghe]

46. and if there was a god ...

he would have committed hara-kiri when he realized what a vile thing he had created, with this vile pile of excrement.

to paraphrase Milton: better to burn free in hell than associate with scum like robertson in heaven.

[radhika]

23. Is Donating to Robertson a 'Pact with the Devil'? n/t

[rasputin1952]

26. Yes...

and it buys you a ticket to the 7th Ring of hell...non-refundable, non-transferable...:evilgrin:

[Vidar]

24. Robertson is the vilest of the vile.

[AtheistCrusader]

25. Human. Scum.

Can't wait for this clown to join Falwell in the nothing.

[rasputin1952]

27. I figure when he has his ...

"Come to Jesus" moment...it's gonna be really ugly for him.

I'll have to send satan some trolls as kindling...I want those fires HOT!

[Dr.Phool]

38. Any place I can donate money to buy coal?

I want the fires of hell well stoked when he gets there.

[pinniped]

29. I think the original devil-pact makers are long gone.

The satanic pact allegedly took place at Bois-Caïman near Cap-Haïtien on August 14, 1791 during a meeting organized by several slave leaders, under Boukman’s leadership, before launching what would become Haiti’s Independence War.”

I guess earthquakes can be predicted. Make a pact with the devil and expect a quake 200 years later.

[struggle4progress]

30. Get over it, Pat: the Haitian slave revolt was three hundred years ago. There's nobody alive who

can remember anybody who could remember anybody who remembered it. It happened ten or fifteen generations ago

[JVS]

32. Last time I checked Haiti wasn't the one with a bunch of freemason/occult shit on their money.

hmmmmmmm

[Fearless]

33. If anything is the result of "the Devil" it is him.

[SemperEadem]

34. pat robertson is long overdue for a stroke

yeah, I said it.

[Solly Mack]

35. A slug is a better human than that piece of shit

[L0oniX]

36. Hey Pat ...please join Jerry Falwell and your other fellow assholes in HELL!

[cbgb2112]

37. I wonder..

If that is why I mentioned to a black fundie at my job that he and his people should lay some prayer on our brothers and sisters in Haiti and he said 'they have been messed up for a long time' and he did not say any thing else. Yikes. Religion sucks so bad.

[Regret My New Name]

39. What the hell?

Seriously? Where the hell did he pull that one from. What a jackass.

[ShortnFiery]

40. The Leader of The American Taliban opens his ugly pie-hole again. eom

[winyanstaz]

41. To take such joy in such a tragedy proves Pat is

NOT fit to be called a human being nor is he a Christian.
I think Jesus would slap his lips off for that one.

[ngant17]

43. Robertson must live in the Middle Ages

Robertson repeatedly links natural disasters to the will of God.
He is a silly, opportunistic dope who looks for associations in natural events to reinforce his reactionary thinking. He also doesn't have a problem with murder and assassinations of innocent people, as long as it reinforces his perverted concept of god and divine justice.

1998, Orlando, Florida: city officials voted in 1998 to fly rainbow flags from city lampposts during the annual Gay Days (June) event at Disney World. Robertson issued a warning: "I don't think I'd be waving those flags in God's face if I were you. ... condition like this will bring about the destruction of your nation. It'll bring about terrorist bombs, it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor."

The first hurricane of the 1998 Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Bonnie, actually turned away from Florida and instead damaged the rest of the east coast. The area hardest hit by the hurricane was the Hampton Roads region, which includes Virginia Beach, where the Robertson's 700 Club is broadcast from. Other hurricanes did hit Florida, but none of them hit Disney World. OK, Rev. Roberson, ignore that fact and try to find some other connection.

August, 2005: Robertson called for the death of Hugo Chavez: "You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it."

[The abyss]

44. The religiously insane are still with us

[mwdem]

45. Tweety showed that clip today.

Kristi just sat there..I don't think she knew how to respond to it. Robertson is an amazing sack of shit!:grr:

[kestrel91316]

48. Remove the log in thine own eye first, you bastard!!!!

[2QT2BSTR8]

49. This is the last thing that the world needs right now -

is some idiot saying this is God's retribution.

[TheWatcher]

50. Who do we blame Pat Robertson On?

And how soon can we charge the responsible party with Crimes Against Humanity?

[mikeytherat]

53. Once Pat kicks off, I plan to visit his grave with a full bladder.

"If Jesus Christ ever came back and saw what was going on in His name, He'd never stop throwing up." - Frederick from "Hannah and Her Sisters"

[mstinamotorcity]

54. Pat Robertson

spoke to God and he told him to be a jackass.So he is following the Master's plans.:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[demoleft]

55. bedlam - is it there he was speaking from, right? n/t

[lunatica]

58. Well, I'm not gonna believe Pat Robinson until Sarah Palin verifies it

And the real clincher will be if Bush says God told him that too. My motto: Always verify

[Blue_Tires]

59. disgusted kick

[yellowcanine]

60. Meanwhile Robertson will try to raise money to "help the Haiti earthquake victims."

I am amazed that anyone gives still gives money to Robertson with his history of "spinning off" for profit businesses from enterprises built up with charitable contributions.

"Robertson lives on the top of a Virginia mountain, in a huge mansion with a private airstrip. He owns the Ice Capades, a small hotel, diamond mines (in Zaire), a vitamin company (Kalo Vita) involved in a multi-level marketing scheme along the lines of Amway, and until recently, International Family Entertainment, parent company of the Family Channel (see below) -- all estimated to be worth between $150-200 million. How does a televangelist, who is supposedly involved in non-profit work, manage to create such a fortune for himself?"

How indeed, and why is this man not doing time for tax fraud?
