Americans Are Upset Over Pat Robertson's Haiti Comment

Pat Robertson, Haiti, and the Devil
Pat Robertson says the reason Haiti got hit by this massive earthquake is because the Haitian people made a pact with devil in exchange for their freedom!
What a stupid ridiculous thing to say when thousands of innocent people lay dead after a natural disaster!
And to think... He is a Christian! A man of God!
I just read a comment posted on our blog by Lynn Albers apologizing to the Haitian people for his stupid comment.
In her comment she says:
If I can offer my sincere apology for his ludicrous statement, let this be it ten thousand times over. Please, please know that Americans do NOT share his viewpoint. We are weeping for your nation and pledge to do whatever we can to help you.
Thank you, Lynn, we appreciate it.
Even the US The White House has dismissed as stupid comments by evangelist broadcaster Pat Robertson suggesting that quake-struck Haiti was cursed.
Spokesman Robert Gibbs said he was amazed by the remarks.
Here is the Dumb remark by Robertson about Haiti:
And you know, Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it.
They were under the heel of the French, uh, you know Napoleon the 3rd and whatever, 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.
And so the Devil said, 'Okay, it's a deal.'
And, uh, they kicked the French out, you know, with Haitians revolted and got themselves free.
But ever since they have been cursed by, by one thing after another, desperately poor.
So basically... He is suggesting that we should have remained slaves in the name of the Lord!
What an Idiot!
