Poor timing for Robertson to bring this up, but if one believes the devil exists, as I do, then one knows he means business. It is odd that this tiny island, that is split in half, is well and prosperous on one side (the Dominican Republic) and the other side (Haiti) is, and has always been, the complete opposite. I'm not saying it's because of this pact with the devil...I'm saying I need more proof of this pact before coming down so hard on Pat Robertson for his comment. Apparently the video doesn't show the rest of the show where Robertson displayed a lot of compassion towards the Haitians either. So, was he just stating the facts?

C'mon! How is that odd at all? Have you never been to any major metropolitan area? No, scratch that, ANY area! Here in NC the boonies, the upperclass, the middleclass and the ghetto blend in with a difference of a couple miles give or take.
Robertson on the other hand is one despicable,
despicable man! I mean to call an entire region accursed after a tragedy due to a pact with the devil is an insult that goes beyond fundamentalism. Does he know what "The Devil" means? Were not talking about going on TV and insulting someone like many rappers do. The devil has a universal definition of evil.
To say that someone has made a deal with the devil simply displays godlessness to the highest extent. I'm not talking about lack of belief in God (or the devil) but lack of decency, empathy and straight out bigotry and racism.
May that fucker rot in hell, if there is one.
