Not that anyone believes anything Pat Robertson says, but he’s really proven how hateful he is with his latest comment on the Haitian earthquake. While tens of thousands of people have lost their lives in Haiti, Robertson said they asked for it by making a pact with the devil:

“They were under the heel of the French…and they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, ‘We will serve you if you’ll get us free from the French,’” he said.

Robertson continued: “True story. And so the devil said, ‘OK, it’s a deal.’ They kicked the French out. The Haitians revolted and got themselves free. Ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other.”

I know what we’re cursed with, Pat. Having to listen to YOU, you old conservative, hate-slinging, ignorant windbag.

For the record, earthquakes are caused by the shifting and moving of the Earth’s plates. Not the devil. Not a curse. Not magic beans or any other hoodoo you can dream up. I’m pretty sure an elementary school child could tell you that.

But, while we’re focusing on him, let’s not forget some of Robertson’s other gems in the face of disaster:

In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Robertson said civil libertarians and gay rights groups bore responsibility for the strikes.

He has also said Hurricane Katrina was an expression of God’s wrath over abortion, and said Ariel Sharon’s stroke was God’s vengeance for Israel’s ceding land to the Palestinians.

Nice, huh?
