Lalaith - good question. Maybe God... or the Devil told him so.
What I would like to ask Pat R. is this:
if the Haiti earthquake is God taking revenge on these folks for making a pact with the devil, and Katrina was God taking revenge for Sodom & Gomorah sexual activity associated with Mardi Gras and the mostly black Ninth Ward, why doesn't Robertson open his mouth and point the finger of blame when a tornado wipes out some trailer park in an all white area of the South? He seems to only point his finger - and in turn the finger of God, at people of color.
I see even Pat Buchanan could not stomach the Robertson comments this morning. That should tell you what a whackjob this senile old man is.
