Religious Right Hysteria & Fearmongering Alive and Well

I seem to remember a time when a natural disaster or human rights catastrophe was viewed by Christians as a call to serve their fellow man.  Maybe it still is, but it’s drowned out by people like Pat Robertson, whose depth of failure and hugeness of mouth seem to magnify with every passing second.

What did the Haitians do to incur God’s wrath this time?   Apparently, it’s a delayed reaction to Haiti’s revolt against the French:

“You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other.”

Apparently, after a 200-year nap, God decided to lay down some whoop-ass on a few thousand children because some slaves got uppity two centuries ago.  Die in a fire, Pat.

Robertson is probably referring in some oblique way to Haitian’s adoption of the Vodoun religion, but doesn’t go into any detail.  In any case, he’s a major ass, but he’s only doing what he always does.  What really infuriates me is the major news outlets that flock to the man’s door and breathlessly repeat every retarded word.
