honestly, I'm more suprised if a natural disaster occurs and Pat Robertson doesn't say something distasteful -- nm - crash davis Jan 13, 16:40 26
- I think it's kind of fascinating how people suddenly take notice and get more irate over his craziness just cuz it's related to a disaster like this. - Dr.Vermin Jan 13, 16:45 15
  - we should pay attention to him when he's just regular nutty? -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 13, 16:52 5
    - Flip that, reverse it. :) - Dr.Vermin Jan 13, 16:57 4

  - I thin there are two main reasons people are mad at Roberston specifically for this quote. - ty97 Jan 13, 16:49 8
    - This makes sense. I do usually prefer tact in the face of death. - Dr.Vermin Jan 13, 16:55 6
      - Hmm, there are two other sides to the issue that you didn't mention in your IM. That of tasteful jokes to deal with a painful situation ... - Beryllium Jan 13, 16:59 2
        
        Well, when it comes to actual *jokes*, I'm hesitant to bring intent into evaluating their appropriateness. - Dr.Vermin Jan 13, 17:04 1
        
        Yeah, that was a good one. :) for some reason, the phrase "Haitian Sensation" just popped into my head ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 17:07
      - I wish the media had ignored him, but they aren't out to make good decision, they're just out to make money. -- nm - ty97 Jan 13, 16:59 2
        
        You could say the same thing about the crazy coot. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 13, 17:01 1

  - Jesus killed all the haitians because of voodoo and having a much too good a time making more haitians -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 13, 16:44 1
    - *sigh* -- nm - the liioulu with warmth on its way Jan 13, 16:53

  - Lucky man. -- nm - the liioulu with warmth on its way Jan 13, 16:41
"that dog don't hunt. On account of voodoo, you see." -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 16:35
I'm surprised you would doubt a vaunted historian such as...Pat Robertson. -- nm - David Jan 13, 16:35
