"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it," Robertson said. "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.'"  

"True story," he continued. "And the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal.' Ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after another."  

So the devil has the power to manipulate teutonic plates and make the awesome forces of nature work in his favor so he can torment and kill thousands of people--decades after a magical bargain was struck? Hmm....Really? What's in it for him? He gets to rub his hands together and laugh at his own fiendishness?

Amazing how these superstitious weirdos and like Robertson and Jerry Falwell (Rot in Peace) get so much play in our country. Embarrassing!!

What leap of ignorance JJ... you literally are just making up that al gore is using God and/or spirituality in some way, which is completely false... He doesn't even ask anyone to make a leap of faith, he presents facts as evidence as he understands them to be true, along with ten of thousands of scientist and educated people... how is that even remotely close to someone who says an earthquake that just killed between 50k and 100k people is Gods revenge on them... really dude? Is your humanity and caring about the suffering that detached from reality, that you are basically defending Pat Robertson by creating an Al gore scapegoat and changing the direction of conversation... it's times like this when peoples real selfs show. I see what yours is. When people don't want to help others at times like, I don't judge. They don't have to, but when they say the shit Limbaugh and robertson have or go to a place like you just did, in your own way, you help cause more harm. If you really beleive in something, have a god in your life, than your actions wouldn't be like this in a time of great suffering. And that is where I judge others, b/c I discern the truth and see what kind of person you really are... and all the bullshit politics you talk is really based on fear and hate... Limbaugh and robertson speak to and for large amounts of Republicans and religous folks and conservatives... it is truly disgusting to me, and that those same folks do not distance themselves from it, speaks volumes to me of what is really in your hearts. I hope you never suffer as these people are, and if you were too, I know I've already helped b/c I reguarly donate to those who show up and will save your sorry ass!!! and if that day comes, hopefully you will see the light and mistake of your hate.

I wonder how the tea party feels about this? They probably don't even know . . .

The day the Bush administration took over from President Bill Clinton in 2001,
America enjoyed a $236 billion budget surplus -- with a projected 10-year surplus
of $5.6 trillion. When the Bush administration left office, it handed President Obama
a $1.3 trillion deficit -- and projected shortfalls of $8 trillion for the next decade.

During eight years in office, the Bush administration passed two major tax cuts
skewed to the wealthiest Americans, enacted a costly Medicare prescription-drug
benefit and waged two wars, without paying for any of it.

To put the breathtaking scope of this irresponsibility in perspective, the Bush
administration's swing from surpluses to deficits added more debt in its eight years
than all the previous administrations in the history of our republic combined.

And its spending spree is the unwelcome gift that keeps on giving:
Going forward, these unpaid-for policies will continue to add trillions to our deficit.

Hee hee hee!  You are correct, Sir!



I was not "slamming" anyone, though. Least of all 2000 Monkey,
who I thought was actually my secret identity. I was making a
joke. With pitchers and everything. Like your post, only funny.

By the way, you forgot to capitalize the first word of every
sentence in your post! AND all the proper nouns!  If you're
going to slam someone for slamming someone, then don't
flim-flam, Slim Jim!

Have you always been this whiny?  

WHY do you hate Jesus so?



You make Baby Jesus weep and shit liquid!

I thought "Teutonic plates" were like schnitzel and blaukraut or something.

I just read a nice story.

RED CROSS "STUNNED" BY ONLINE OUTPOURING FOR HAITI

The State Department tweets that Americans have now donated more than $9 million for Haiti relief via text message.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/15/haiti-earthquake-breaking_n_421644.html

Sure makes me feel great that so many people have sent money to help out the wonderful citizens of Haiti.


However, it's not all nice stories out there in cyberspace:
http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/01/rep-steve-king-deported-haitian...

Turns out the one man freak show known as Steve King (R-FearMonger) thinks that the US should deport Haitians, so they can help out in their homeland. King is the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Immigration. He is also a fringe Christian.

Can anybody explain how the glorious words in the bible can be interpreted to create this type of asshole?

Riffy?
Rush Limbaugh is not backing down from his claim that President Barack Obama is trying to score political points off the earthquake in Haiti.

Challenged by a caller during his show Thursday, Limbaugh said: “If I said it, I meant to say it, and I do believe that everything is political to this president.”

“Everything this president sees is a political opportunity, including Haiti, and he will use it to burnish his credentials with minorities in this country and around the world, and to accuse Republicans of having no compassion,” Limbaugh said in comments flagged by the liberal blog Think Progress.

Limbaugh has come under fire from both the right and the left for saying that the earthquake played directly into Obama’s hands, allowing him to look “compassionate.” The host claimed the White House’s response would bolster Obama’s standing in the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country.”

He also appeared to discourage help for the island nation, saying, “We've already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.”

Critics have characterized Limbaugh’s comments as insensitive and tone-deaf at a time when heartbreaking images of the devastation dominate news coverage.

Confronted with some of that criticism, Limbaugh slammed a caller as “close-minded.”

“What I’m illustrating here is that you’re a blockhead,” Limbaugh shot back. “What I’m illustrating here is that you’re a close-minded bigot who is ill-informed.”

“If you had listened to this program for a modicum of time, you would know it,” he said. “But instead, you’re a blockhead. Your mind is totally closed. You have tampons in your ears. Nothing is getting through other than the biased crap that you read.”
