For Robertson to accuse the Haitian people of bringing this upon themselves is one of the crudest acts in human history. It's right up there with Rush Limbaugh claiming that these unfortunate circumstances will somehow benefit the black community. This guy must really love being hated. Anyway, back to Robertson. When I saw his video, I was so shocked that I nearly wet my pants. I spit out my coffee and I wasn't even drinking any. This guy is an idiot. Even his partner on the show, Christie, shows signs of skepticism. He shuts her up quickly with, "It's a true story." He says it with such confidence, like he was there as an eyewitness. Who knows? Perhaps HE is the devil that struck a deal with the Haitians some two centuries ago. It makes perfect sense. He's the right age and he can guarantee that the deal actually happened. Now he's going on the air to set the record straight and to give credit where it's due. I understand that such a scenario is highly unlikely. What I don’t understand is why religion has to play a part in everything. I feel like there is no such thing as a natural disaster anymore. Anytime something unfortunate happens (tsunami, hurricane, earthquake, landslide), it’s either “God’s will” or the Haitian/Devil stock exchange. Soon all those events will be dubbed “Supernatural disasters.” Why can’t people like Robertson just accept that things happen? It’s nobody’s fault. It is just bad luck. Well, really bad luck. Is that really what Robertson thinks? What’s the evidence? Is there a contract lying around somewhere that I don’t know about? I’ve been in some tough spots before (not quite a war with France, but that’s not important) and nobody came to me looking to trade for my soul. I’m not trying to grill people of faith here. All I’m saying is that I would like to see the 1988 version of Iron Mike Tyson in the ring with both Robertson and Rush Limbaugh. Surely, he of all people could knock some sense into these knuckleheads. Is there a more senile, outspoken pig on this planet than Rush Limbaugh? His comments related President Obama's agenda to an unprecedented disaster. That’s enough to make Don Imus blush. This pill-gargling moron has such a bleak outlook on human emotion that I'm frankly surprised he can still communicate at all. Why does he still have radio shows? I want to meet the guy responsible for that. I want to meet the guy who is going to sleep easy tonight knowing that he let Rush Limbaugh near a microphone.
