Roger Ebert had some choice words for Limbaugh’s comments. And I find it highly hypocritical that Limbaugh insists that Obama uses everything for political advantages when he (Limbaugh) uses every flipping thing the president does to get attention. Blah.
And I really don’t get how “Haiti” makes a deal with the devil. Did the entire population have one huge meeting and unanimously agree to this? And if that’s the case, then wouldn’t it be the original people who made the pact who were cursed? I mean, it’s not like the island itself made the deal (unless Robertson is being idiotic enough to imply that a mass of dirt and rock is able to think, summon Satan, and agree to a contract).
Oh, and riiiight, they summoned the devil to get a revolution for independence. Just like our ancestors did. You know, people can have a revolt if they’re upset enough with the government. The way Robertson’s saying it, I kind of feel like he’s implying “Oh, those silly people in Haiti couldn’t possibly have won a revolution on their own like we did! Nope, they must have needed evil supernatural forces”.
Again, I say blah.
