Pat Robertson: Haiti Disaster Due To 'Pact With Devil'

According to the American evangelist Pat Robertson, speaking on the Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club, the deaths of thousands in the massive earthquake in Haiti is a consequence of a pact with the devil that paved the way for the country's independence in 1804.

I guess that means that in the eyes of the moonbat US Christian Right, the Haitians had it coming to them... What a tosser.

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.
