Okay - what did I miss? The TV's been on CNN so I've got information blinders on today.

He basically said God punished Haiti because he was pissed at them for making a deal with the devil to get the French out years back.

Oh Sweet Christ on a pogo stick!

I know. He's SUCH a tool.

What tipped ya off?

For those who haven't seen it (and who haven't eaten recently, as it's definitely nausea-inducing) the clip is here.

For those looking to donate to a charity, Charity Navigator, which rates charities on axes like organizational efficiency, has a page on charities providing relief for Haiti. Their ratings pages for individual charities include links to those charities' websites.

That guy is an asshole.

Even if he believes it, what makes him think other people would A: believe it and B: not think he was on crack for saying so.

I'm just thinking about how complicated it is to get TWO people to agree on anything. How on EARTH could an entire population make a pact with the devil?

...and considering that was HOW long ago, none of them are alive anymore and the main religion on the island is Christianity.

Oh, and am I misremembering, or didn't someone write down somewhere "judge not, lest ye be judged"?

...that sounds pretty familiar, yeah.

Well, natural disasters sure can put Fear of God into people; maybe he's thinking of capitalizing on it? Expanding his territory? Who knows...
(...but he doesn't have a cadre of trained missionaries going down there anytime soon, does he?)
