One of the most devastating and tragic earthquakes of my lifetime hit the already downtrodden nation of Haiti on Tuesday. It hurts my heart to think about the horror of such a calamity, which destroyed the capital city and killed tens of thousands of people.
But in the wake of this tragedy of unimaginable scope, everyone seems to be talking about something else… Pat Robertson.
Quips about Robertson and his ridiculous comments have been lighting up Twitter and Facebook. He’s been a top trending topic for the last 2 days. And everyone seems to be getting quite a kick out of joining in the Robertson slam-fest. Of the many tweets I’ve seen, here’s just a sampling:
- “Pat Robertson is kinda like that senile old uncle at your family reunion. He said what? Oh, that’s just crazy Uncle Pat. Pay no attention.”
- “Why do so many people in Haiti have to die while Pat Robertson lives?”
- “Pat Robertson, bringing shame to the name of Christ for 50 years.”
- “I wonder what Pat Robertson blames for the NBC late night debacle.”
- “Pat talks about the Devil like he’s had business meetings with him… or the two play racket ball…”
- “Just in case you needed more proof that Pat Robertson doesn’t speak for Christians, here you go…”
- “Behold Pat Robertson, the unintended consequence of the first amendment.”
