Pat Robertson Declares Haiti Paying for "Pact with the Devil"

Pat Robertson, the evangelical Christian, cemented his legacy as a loon by declaring that the horrific earthquake that has devasted Haiti and killed thousands of people is the result of a deal that was struck long ago with the devil.

The Haitians "were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III and whatever," Robertson said on his broadcast Wednesday. "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 French.' True story. And so, the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal.' "

So much for compassion for the injured and the dead in this ongoing tragedy. Instead of using his voice to call for humanitarian aid and charity he chooses to place blame and condemn the victims themselves based on his twisted delusions. Now he may have had more charitable efforts in the past so this makes his statement all the more ridiculous. Help people and shut the hell up. It's not the first time he's blamed natural disasters on the supposed sins of the victims. True story.
