Haiti

If Pat Robertson is telling a "true story" why didn't he know that Napoleon Bonaparte governed France at the time of Haiti's independence (1804). Oh, when did facts get in the way of truth?

Heartless

How disgusting. People like that make me ashamed to be a human being. —Eodril (talk) 14:09, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Fuck you Rush

Libaugh? Humbaugh! I'd value his life, and contribution to society, at about $0.05 - the price of a single round to load into an AK-47. It is the selfish, self-centred, money-grabbing and international meddling of his heroes like Saint Ronald of Ray Gun that left Haiti so completely unable to cope with this disaster in any way shape or form.

The United States overthrew the democratically elected government of Haiti, helped install and prop up a ruthless dictator, then made all international aid conditional on small farmers being forced off their land, herded into squalid cities and exploited as the cheapest workers in the Western Hemisphere. It suits those bastard free-market fundamentalists to have a huge labour pool fighting over the sweatshop jobs in clothing manufacture and similar. How else would they manage to keep wages below US$2/day?

Goebbels deserves more respect than Rush Limbaugh or Pat Robertson. I don't believe in God, but if I'm proved wrong I hope they're in the worst part of hell for the human misery and suffering they support being implemented by right-wing United States policy over the long term. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 17:57, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Left-wing Rush Limbaugh above.

Rush Limbaugh and Mr. Robertson

I say let them continue to talk. It just shows what inhumane idiots they and people like them are. Thank God that the old guard such as Pat Robertson is dying out and a younger more conscious America is emerging. Soon Mr. Roberson will be with his friend the devil. I'm sure they will have much to talk about!

Take a stroll around your average University campus and tell me that there is a such thing as "a younger more conscious America".

What

Both Rush and Pat are Idiots. Any respect I had for them prior is now long gone. How can anyone listen to anything that these two say. If everyone stopped paying attention to these two then hopefully they would go back to the cave that they crawled out of.

Rush/Robertson Comments

Well Rush with the kind of backages he carries must be and should be EXTREMELY Careful at what he says.

Mr.Robertson is right about Haiti, however he also understands that what has happen to the people of Haiti is generational. And by him being a christian he also must understand that his MUST speak in wisdom. And words like "may" never comes from the mouth of a person who professes the Name of Christ. And compassion is a must.

Sincerely

Sadly there is a point in the comments

The US has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Haiti, which has done little to help the country and for which there is no good accounting. See Haiti: Where Will All the Money Go? for something about this that doesn't focus on stupid talking heads like Rush. --SVTCobra 03:03, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Why do people care what he says, anyway? Please enlighten me. --SVTCobra 03:06, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I can only shrug and wonder. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 14:06, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Shame...

It's a shame that Limbaugh recovered from that heart attack. The civilians in Haiti certainly deserved much more to live than him.

Bad News Guys?

Bad news all around-the rhetoric of hate constantly spewing from their demented minds-

What an idiot! I am a conservative but this guy takes the cake. Wish he had been vacationing there.

Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson

God has a place for everyone of us in this planet. It is a shame on those who use their ability to communicate to the media to use the haitian people for their own gain. santiago sandoval
