Bat-Poop Crazy Pat Robertson Is Bat-Poop Crazy Yet Again

[Gatorubet]

Robertson's "true story": Haiti "swore a pact to the devil" to get "free from the French" and "ever since, they have been cursed" | Media Matters for America

PAT ROBERTSON: 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. You know, Napoleon III 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 French." True story. And so, the devil
said, "OK, it's a deal."

And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got
themselves free. But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after
the other. Desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It's cut
down the middle. On the one side is Haiti; on the other side is the
Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of
resorts, et cetera. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to
have and we need to pray for them a great turning to God. And out of this
tragedy, I'm optimistic something good may come. But right now, we're
helping the suffering people, and the suffering is unimaginable.

KRISTI WATTS (co-host): Absolutely, Pat.

PAT ROBERTSON: And, you know, much like other Devil Inspired natural
Disasters, bad stuff happens when you make a deal with the Prince of
Darkness, Beelzebub, Ole' Scratch, Satan, Kiffin, whatever. If you look at
the University of Cincinnati, in order to get an undefeated team they also
made a pact with the Devil, or with a minion of the Devil, that being the
Giant Duck of False Pride, and so won games until they were struck down
by a Godly Messenger from On-High wearing eye-black, and, all Glory to
God, defeated by his other better rushing Son's Wrath.

KRISTI WATTS (co-host): Absolutely, Pat.

PAT ROBERTSON:True story. Devil Duck at Sawyer Point. See the Monitor. *

This also could live in the Religion in Schools Thread, as Exhibit "A" as to why not to mix religion and education, but...



* Portions of transcript possibly invented while under the influence of drugs. Which portions unclear.

 

[RugbyBuck]

Well done, GUB. Scary to think that in the not so distant past Robertson approached political relevancy.

 

[MaxBuck]

Well done, GUB. Scary to think that in the not so distant past the Bearcats and their fans thought they approached BCS relevancy.

Are you a homosexual, Gator? You talk like a homosexual.

Yeah, it's pretty sad to see 21st century people still believing in evil spirits and "gods" in the sky, who must be appeased lest their wrath destroy humanity. One would think we'd have advanced beyond that by now. :ohwell:

I agree, and we need to get the government the hell out of schools while we're at it. We got along for 200 years without a Department of Education, but...

This history, combined with the horrible state of the country, has led countless scholars and religious figures over the centuries to believe the country is cursed.

Name one that is a legit scholar please, Pat.

 

[OCBuckWife]

Pat Robertson is relevent to modern Christians as Al Sharpton(or Jesse Jackson) is relevent to modern African-Americans. Yeah, I went there. :)

 

[Gatorubet]

OK Pat. Countless scholars? Count them for me after naming them. Some of them. One of them?

And by the way, are you saying that all of the Haitians were in the "no French in exchange for my soul" thing? If not, was it okey-doke for God to doom the rest of the Haitians to poverty for generations because a couple Hatian guys wanted to strike a deal with the Devil to end that Godly slavery thing they had going? Finally, is there the name of just one of the alleged partners to the deal with the Devil. How about the name of one person who says that they know the name of one of the alleged partners to the deal with the Devil?

Uh-huh. Thought so.

Also, this Kiffinesque statement points out that, "countless scholars and religious figures over the centuries to believe the country is cursed."

What is telling is the absence of information. I notice that Gorden Robertson's press release did not say: "countless scholars and religious figures over the centuries believe that the people of Haiti got together and swore a pact to the devil, sayhing, "We will serve you if you will get us free from the French." And so, the devil said, "OK, it's a deal"...

That would be only one wing nut.

I think many of them hang out here:

Don Imus said that Robertson should be put to sleep.

Think Progress ? Imus: Pat Robertson ‘should be put to sleep.’

 

[BB73]

Can Pat Robertson somehow be assigned to relief and/or missionary work in Haiti?

Aren't you a Louisiana lawyer? Talk about deals with the devil. . . . I thought you'd have learned your lesson by now, what with God using a hurricane to smite you and your kind. Stop trying to rid our schools of his good word, heathen!
