Thousands Dying Because Haitian Slaves ‘Swore a Pact with the Devil’ for Their Freedom

Galactically vile Christian cleric Pat Robertson told his CBN viewers today that Haitians are “cursed” because their ancestors “swore a pact with the devil” to liberate themselves from the French in 1804. “True story.” What else would he say? Robertson can’t let human suffering pass without finding a way to insinuate that God did it deliberately because he hates gay people, black people, Catholics, or whatever other poor dying sap he can find to cruelly mock and use to his own political and fundraising advantage

Christian Conservatives Praying for God to Kill Obama

There’s a hilarious new meme in the wingnut sectors of the internet: someone’s coined a bumper sticker slogan encouraging people to pray for Barack Obama . But here’s the funny part: it’s really a secret Christian code for “Kill the President!’ Posters to various message boards tell stories of seeing bumper stickers with the message “Pray for Obama—Psalm 109:8” on the highway, only to look up the verse and find, “Let his days be few; and let another take his office.” People — like the commenter “Panama” on INGunOwners.com , to pick one guy completely at random — think this is “too funny.” The next verse in Psalms is, “Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.” Anyway, now it’s a real thing: CafePress is selling T-shirts and bumper stickers , the Christian Science Monitor is wondering whether it’s ” funny or sinister ” to pray for Obama’s death, and Rachel Maddow referenced it last night on her show . Psalm 109 is known as ” A Cry for Vengeance ,” which is one of the foundational values of Christianity, along with small-business tax cuts.
