Pat Robertson: Haiti has reaped what it sowed

[sandinista! 1,816]

Unfortunately, Danno will simply dismiss that link and subsequent information out of hand. Dailykos is far to liberal for him. In fact, simply gazing upon the site might in fact blind him, you know, like the last scene in Raiders of The Lost Ark.

it's not exactly my favorite source either. though they do a nice job with this story, and have lots of links to different components of the story that were reported elsewhere.

if you'd actually read the article, you'd know that they were not the source of the investigative reporting. the nation also reported on the story, and the virginia department of consumer affairs conducted an investigation, concluding that he should be indicted. virginia's attorney general refused to do so. funnily enough, that same attorney general's largest campaign contribution, $35,000, came from Pat Robertson's PAC. his commentary about charles taylor in liberia is nothing short of amazing.

from the above link:

Here is Pat Robertson in all his glory:

• A man whose salary is funded by donations to a "Christian" tax exempt entity which required its African-American employees to enter the premises through the back door and to eat in separate dining areas.

• A man who makes so much money from his association with this "Christian" tax-exempt entity that he can afford to spend over $500,000 to buy a race horse and name it Mr. Pat, after himself.

• A man who is so eager to increase his personal wealth that he enters a business venture with a cruel dictator to mine diamonds and uses the planes from his "Christian" aid organization, "Operation Blessing" almost exclusively to carry mining equipment while telling his followers that their contributions will fund relief efforts and not mining for blood diamonds.

• A man who is so eager to increase his personal wealth that he enters another business venture to explore and mine gold with a dictator/terrorist actively engaged in committing crimes against humanity including murder, torture, rape, child slavery, and forcing children to be soldiers to explore for gold. The joint venture being housed on the same location as the "Christian Broadcasting Network" his tax-exempt entity.

I have one question for the "Reverend" Pat Robertson:

Just who made a pact with the Devil?

gross.

Indeed, gross.

I'm guessing Danno was dandled on the very Rev Robertson's knee and looked up into his beatific face. Quite an unsavoury character. Beats me why anyone falls in step with such people, their lives have nothing whatsoever to do with any christian tenets, creeds or customs.

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

Seems to me that if Mr. Robertson really understood what Jesus Christ was all about, he'd also understand that kicking people when they are down is a horrible and unnecessary thing to do, and that he should make amends for what he said. Quite aside from the fact that talking about a bunch of 'deal with the devil' claptrap is an outdated form of religious pot stirring that is in no way constructive or enlightening.

But then again they are just words. He's not strapping a bomb to an intern and sending him to the marketplace.

I feel sorry for you. It must be a pretty scary world when you can only understand extremes.

In that case the people besides those living in Port-au-Prince, like in New York City, LA, San Francisco, St. Louis, Nashville, Caracas, Japan, just to name a few better start to change their ways and send money to Pat Robertson because they also live in earthquake zones. If they send money to Pat, maybe he will pray for them and he will change the course of nature in this ever changing planet we were stuck on.

Hear people say that God is punishing them with the mosquito, is it that, or is it because you moved into a mosquito infected area. After all, they were there first.

Pat can't say that the people of Port-au-Prince weren't warned, they were, but not by him, but by these guys. Hati earthquake zone. Pat never could foretell the future, is one of those guys that said, you were naughty and not much of a scientist either. But God did give him a big mouth and too bad, a small narrow minded brain to go with it.

What he said was stupid and I made that clear earlier. He has organizations that receive money that he uses to help the unfortunate.

My point was not to pat him on the back for what he said but to acknowledge what he has done. Call him misguided, stupid, idiot, whatever but at the end of the day he has helped out a whole bunch of people. What about you?

The world is NOT better off with Pat Robertson in it. He does good with his charities, but at the same time, spreads hatred and discent. His charities are disgustingly biased to only help those that HE supports. I'm not saying he should die or anythnig like that, but I refuse to acknowledge that the good charity work he does outweighs the disgusting hatred he breeds.

examples?

This is why we have separation of church and state. Now if we can just separate state and education and then state and health care, state and economy.

Rob you must be "Idiotic"

Well if you think he doesnt give a dam about these people and you truly believe that well then yes you could end up in that category.

Are you kidding? The world would be a much better place without Pat Robertson and people like him.

What? are you kidding? Step away from your emotions for a second and look at what he has done for people around the world. I dont agree with what he said but dam he sure has done alot more for people than you or me!!!
