^^^don't listen to him!

Instead, send me a donation of $20 or more, these actually work miracles!

Yep! The double standard always sticks in my craw as well

The real issue IMHO is not Pat Robertson's politics, but his theology.

This is the real tip. IMO he believes what he is saying and at least some of his audience along with him. As far as Reverend Wright is concerned, if you grew up in the segregated south, as I did, you might have some perspective on where his hate comes from. Nelson Mandela was able to rise above it but apparently Wright has not. I don't approve of it or condone it but I do understand it.

Where this thread has gone is typical of any issue I've ever tried to discuss or debate with most conservatives. In '73 when the 'smoking gun' was found and Nixon was being impeached I said something about it to a conservative co-worker and his reply was that the democrats did this and they did that.

Fast forward forty years and bring up any travesty committed by a republican politician and the response is not on topic but a retort giving an example of a liberal pol who did the same or worse. Where like a bunch of school kids at recess really.

From the History of Hati.
On August 22, 1791, slaves in the northern region of the colony staged a revolt that began the Haitian Revolution. Tradition marks the beginning of the revolution at a vodou ceremony at Bois Caïman (Alligator Woods) near Cap-Français. The call to arms was issued by a Houngan (Vodou priest) named Dutty Boukman. Within hours, the northern plantations were in flames. The rebellion spread through the entire colony. Boukman was captured and executed, but the rebellion continued to spread rapidly.

I know where he got his information even if I do not agree how he used it. Honestly I think it harms our purpose to drudge up unproven reasons especially in things like this. The why is unimportant these people were in need of help before this earthquake and now their need is desperate. The opinion of the Left, Right or middle seems pretty useless in the face of this much destruction. The Church I belong to as well as friends of mine are involved in missions in Haiti and other places but right now it's Haiti that has everyone's attention. I know of one family that has had an on going mission there for 50 years and that's not because of Mr. Robertson. I also know that 2 of our Doctors are preparing an emergency medical mission and are trying desperately to locate medical supplies to leave ASAP.

If I could speak with Mr. Robertson I would like to know his point. The Haitian people are not singled out in God's word so why should we single out their history in the light of this situation? How does this serve to help with relief efforts? As I Christian it's my responsibility to be salt and light not poison and hammer. No the end does not justify the means and yes an open hand will draw more people than a clutched fist or a pointed finger in this case. Instead of focusing on who said what how about a little help with relief for these people. If not through a local ministry then how about the Red Cross? I heard they do not even have enough body bags for the dead let alone supplies to help those who survived.

weird, it was only a year ago that Pat Robertson fed half a million Haitians following a drought there and three hurricanes

At least he doesn't let Haiti's pact with Satan stop his charity arm from helping them out

I thought Pat Robertson WAS the devil...then I met Peter Popoff.

Pat Robertson is composed from pure evil...
