9. Did America
also make a "pact with the devil" to rid us of English control? To free the slaves? Is that another one of his "reasons" for Katrina? Please, keep this hate filled crook (remember his diamond mine that he flew Africans to, to work as slaves, so he could "rescue" them from their civil war?) off all public airwaves and in jail where he belongs. Oh yea, when bush was a child (demon), he had a direct line to Pat, for "spiritual guidance", that turned out well.

5. That was precious...
Another gracious person, Hans Mardy, speaking for Haiti..helping to erase the hate emanating from the robertsons and limpbaughs of the world.

Thank you..that was cathartic!

6. Haitians are a beautiful, brave people.
They have overcome unimaginable oppression. The original indigenous indians, the Arawaks were murdered by Columbus in his
search for gold. Within a few short years none remained. Howard Zinn does an outstanding job of documenting the history of the
Island of Hispaniola in his book The Peoples History of the United States.

8. He is wrong..., God did not create all of us equal...
He gave some, such as Pat Robertson and unfairly large share of hatred and bigotry. There is no fate so horribly that could fall upon Pat Robertson or his kind that I would feel sorry for them. I only wish I could believe in Heaven and Hell, so I could believe that he will spend eternity in Hell. And I wish that Pat Robertson and his kind believed in Heaven and Hell, because if they did they would not conduct their lives in the manner that they do. For them, the dollar is the almighty. Fuck their fellow human being.

10. It's irrelevant, but
I just noticed Pat Robertson babbled about "Napoleon III" somehow playing into the story. Which is quite remarkable given that Haiti declared its independence in what, 1804 - and Napoleon III was *born* in 1808!

Another "truth" people don't want to hear about, Pat? - That Napoleon III was a time traveler as well as oppressor of the Haitian people? Hey, it's at least as believable as the pact-with-Satan bullshit...

20. "true story" laugable that Pat should ask us to believe mythologcial conversations could ever be
"true stories."  What an idiot.  Fine example of the
retarded speaking to the innocent who responds with respect,
instead of laughter and disbelief.   This is a reporter?  She
bought into this out of sheer deference, without an care about
truth and reality.  I am sick of this deference paid to
asshats, just because they have money, and history behind
them.

21. And Pat would know about the pact with the Devil - how?
Was he present at this "alleged pact"? Unless he's the Devil himself.

Pat Robertson can rot in hell for all eternity with his fellow hater - Rush Limbaugh. :puke:

23. Compare And Contrast Robertson To Muslim Groups
Who are sending in substantial aid to the victims. Apparently Robertson wants to radicalize and drive Haitians into the arms of al Qaeda.

Why does Pat Robertson hate America so much?

24. I apogize to the Haiti people...
for letting a mentally ill man be in office and ...(which is even worse) letting that sick bastard have a microphone.
I also apoligize if our military and Blackwater are making it worse. We, the American people have no say over that. Just be careful around the Blackwater thugs is my best advice for now.

25. Haiti has managed to kick the US out of it's naion about 3 times.
I don't think Blackwater will have a chance if Haitians got together and wanted them out.

27. You tell them Hans
Pat Robertson has made some pacts with the devil himself.With him there is no separation of church and state.Please be it known that Mr.Robertson does not speak for every American within his listening voice.We won't dare apologize for this imbecile.We want everyone to see these trolls and I don't care if they are religious ones,for what they are,trolls.I do not pretend to speak for the vast majority of Americans,but I think it is necessary for his remarks to be repudiated by me. We wish the very best for Haiti,its people,its Government,and its ability to rise above the challenge of nature's wrath.we do not believe that you made a pact with the devil,your history is well known to a lot of Americans.Pat Robertson is doing God's work.Being a jackass,and speaking for all jackasses.Rush is the other jackass,because they were made in pairs.Personally I could give a rats ass what Mr. Robertson says,especially knowing the amount of money he and his son made under the disguise of religious exemption.So if I may, to Mr. Robertson, as an American citizen you do not speak for me.And with that Mr.Robertson I say F--K You and that psycho religious bulls--t you are so frothing at the mouth about,your credibility is nil,and if there is any amount of truth here is that you are indeed definitely a JACKASS.

28. what an ignorant asshat
"The Dominican Republic is prosperous"

Wow, stunning. Most people in the DR are so poor they live in houses made of sugar cane stalks. There are no jobs for Dominicans there because they import Haitians to work for 75 cents a day. There are slave labor communities called, 'batay's' where Haitians live out their whole lives working in the sugar cane.

Yeah Pat, paradise.

29. well said - good presentation
I think Pat has joined forces with something evil. He has had an odd take on his version of a vengeful God since I have known of him.

What a goober.
