Dumbass. Why don't muslims ever take out a fatwa on useless people like Pat?
Not a big Pat R. fan, but can anyone tell me one thing he said that is not factual?
WWJD?
Would Christ condemn, or comfort? Even if Robertson’s notion is correct, I don’t believe for a second Christ would’ve said that at this particular time.
How does that statement reflect on Christ and His followers? How will it come off to someone who just lost a child, or a parent? Robertson has lost his way.

Maybe, probably; whatever; but you can pull the truth here. One only has to wonder or challenge the MO of Haiti; when the other half of this island - with same resources/landscape. . .ocean view, is doing well.
Corruption/drugs/voodoo so embedded here; and all aided and abetted by USA; while the elite political class enjoys the riches of our gifts. How much have we given here? And for what and for whom? The non-political class of Haitians? Nooooo!
Personally, the fact that the palace was taken out; seems a poetic justice; and maybe as well; the UN. That said; am, in fact sorry for the pain and suffering of all those who have little or no say in determining Haiti's present or future; and those 'innocent'. So much for 'change' that no one in this pathetic country can believe in; thanks to the corruption of more than a few. Haitians and non-Haitians.
May Pat Robertson be forced to live with Obama when they’re both experiencing massive “afterlife warming”.
Callous and Crazy.
Why would Pat Robertson assign this to all the people of Haiti? Maybe the pact was made by only a few without the knowledge or approval of the righteous. Many, many innocent people were killed and many more are suffering.
I think that it is judgmental and foolish to suggest that so many innocent people are receiving a just punishment. Shame on you Pat Robertson! Judge not, lest you be judged!
Jesus was a carpenter and a house builder; He built His house on a rock.
Haiti is cursed by many things, including a faith that incorporates elements outside of Christianity. Like the Irish in America, we can start rebuilding Haiti by sending Catholic missionaries to teach them their faith.

Hey Pat - stupid is as stupid does. You’re not helping the conservative cause with this BS. But, you’re providing people like Olberfurher with plenty of fodder to hammer conservatives with.
The circumstantial evidence is on Robertsons side.
Two concepts; not exactly irreconcilable. . .
I love it whenever Pat Robertson says something controversial (simple truth that the unclean and faithless cannot by their very nature comprehend) and all of the anti-Christian bigots come crawling out from their rat holes. Google Pat Robertson’s charity Operation Blessing. It is one of the most effective and ethically run charities on earth. Fact. Here are the facts. Everywhere on earth at this very moment where Christianity is illegal you will also find the most unspeakable and horrific human rights violations. It is also a fact that the MOST of the world’s charity comes from nations where there is a Christian majority. YOU JUST CAN’T KEEP ANTI-CHRISTER HATERS FROM HATING.
You disgust me.
I think he was asking for provable facts.
All I know about Haiti is that it’s poor almost beyond words, while the Dominican Republic isn’t. And, I remember the boat people off Florida. And AIDS. I remember Haiti’s association with AIDS. Here’s an example:
“AIDS Virus Traveled to Haiti, Then U.S., Study Says”
Amitabh Avasthi for National Geographic News
October 29, 2007
HIV went directly from Africa to Haiti, then spread to the United States and much of the rest of the world beginning around 1969, suggests an international team of researchers.

“Haiti: The High Price of Stigma”

‘Seems to me he’s been saying similar stuff about every earthquake for awhile now. What was it here in LA in 94? That God had lifted his hand of protection, or something?
It’s physics, Pat. That’s the way God made it.
I’m not entirely sure why Christ’s occupation is relevant.
Nonetheless, I don’t believe for a second that Christ would’ve given a grief-stricken Haiti the Christian equivalent of “you had it coming.”
Haitians can be converted only by displays of Christ’s love in this trying time. Robertson’s combination of arrogance and kicking Haitians when they’re down is unbecoming, obnoxious, and besmirtches the Christian label he claims as his own.
