And so it was today that we get religious right freak Pat Robertson blaming the Haitian people themselves for causing yesterday's earthquake. Robertson says that Haitians previously brokered a "pact with the devil" which has rendered them "cursed" and which caused the earthquake. And, just for good measure, Robertson observes that the earthquake -- which is estimated to have killed between 100,000 and 500,000 people -- might be a "blessing in disguise" since it will allow Haiti to be rebuilt.Not that the far left is innocent in this type of absurd, mindless behavior. I haven't seen any of them yet try to blame Bush for the Haitian earthquake, but I wonder if that's because the "blame Bush" statute of limitations has started to run now that the old neo-con fart's been out of office for a full year. When he was in office, I can still recall some loony left-wingers blaming him for causing Hurricane Katrina to occur, not to mention him having that same causative touch when it came to tsunamis and bridge collapses as well. As I often say: The scariest thing? That it's extremists just like these ones who control the two American political parties. And some think that I'm the one whose nuts for being an Independent!
Postscript: Get a load of Robertson's decrepit old mug above! If not for his age, I'd otherwise think he must be the bastard son of a union between Alfred E. Neuman and George W. Bush. And just take a gander at those nose hairs! Those things are even scarier than Robertson's deranged comments today!
