seems odd.
Are you actually serious? Do you really believe that? Us "leftists" are exponentially upset by anyone that spouts hatred and idiocy. It just makes it even worse when it is a so called American spouting that hatred.

That pretty much sums up my feelings.

Maybe Robertson could take his sorry self to Haiti and help some people for a change.

No, what makes it worse is when religious zealots threaten to and follow through in Killing people. Pat Robertson does not plan to kill anyone.

i am indeed serious. not all leftists, naturally, but a worrying number of them.

witness the level of overblown outrage at this bit of buffoonery by the likes of jill61. then, try to find her saying anything remotely as nasty about a terrorist.

good luck with that.

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, uh, you know, Napoleon the third and whatever, and they got together and swore a pact to the devil, they said, we will serve you, if you get us free from the Prince, true story. And so the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal.
"Napoleon the third and whatever" (?!)
"And the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal." What, was he in the room? Did he get a transcript? All I can say is...



Wow...

precisely. yet in certain small minds, robertson is by far the greater threat.

Well, just to put your mind at ease, I agree completely with Jill's assessment of Robertson BECAUSE I am a devoted Christian who hates the shame Robertson brings on the name of the One I love. AND I think terrorist are cowardly, evil, murdering, filthy creatures that I wish had never been born.

500,000 people may have died and someone's spending all their time and energy focusing on what Pat Robertson thinks??

Puh-lease! Focus on helping the Haitians through this horrible crisis by donating to your favorite charity that is actually going to send relief there!

I get very tired of reading post after post suggesting those on the left in some way condone terrorist acts. Such absolute nonsense. I have never read a single post on CD where someone condones a terrorist act. You are perhaps revealing your inferior reading skills here. Understanding what motivates feelings of outrage towards the US and condoning them are two very different positions, and I think perhaps you are confusing them (conveniently).
