Yeah, That 'Haiti Sold Its Soul' Stuff Was Bad, But...

...if you listen even more closely to Marion "Pat" Robertson's comments today, you hear something even more nefarious than what's being cropped and reported to you. Here are the comments you will hear. And, yes. They are reprehensible.
[The Haitians] under the heel of the French, you know Napoleon the third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said 'We will serve you if you will get us free from the prince.' True story. And so the devil said, 'Ok it's a deal.' And they kicked the French out. The Haitians revolted and got something themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after another...
By the way, when Robertson says they were "under the heel" of the French, what he means to say is that they were "slaves." And, I'm just taking a wild guess here, but I betcha the theory that a pact was made with the Prince of Darkness stems from the fact that yellow fever took out a lot of the a-holes who had returned there to refortify the slavery regime following a revolt by the natives. I dunno. Whatever. It's not worth speculating; Marion Robertson is a crazy old fucker. But. As I've said. There's more. During the broadcast, Robertson asks Bill Horan, President of Operation Blessing, the following question:
Well...if all those buildings are down, I understand more have fallen than are standing...it may be a blessing in disguise; there might be a massive rebuilding of that country. Is that possible?
That, my friends, is the sound of a disaster capitalist licking his salivating chops in anticipation. And it is far more terrifying than any moronic, lip-doodling evangelism.
