Good old Rev. Pat Robinson, US Television evangelist and creepy old liar for Jesus passed judgement on the current emergency situation in Haiti yesterday, apparently they deserved what they got and it's all due to a pact with the Devil made 200 years ago in order to secure freedom from French colonial rule.
It's amazing that people still give this man money (net worth > $200M), and somewhat scary that what he says is still regularly broadcast to millions via the 700 club program. If the ramblings of this addled old huckster annoy you then focus on giving some cash to a suitably secular charity in order to help with the earthquake relief effort, perhaps the Red Cross or someone with more local knowledge like Partners in Health.
Another scary side-fact is Robinson campaigned for (but lost) the nomination for Republican presidential candidate in 1988, I guess his hotline to God was down for maintenance that year.
