Massive Damage in Haiti

Expert say that the Earthquake that hit Haiti on Tuesday was 200 years worth of stored energy erupting at once. The initial pictures and video show massive damage. It has brought the good side of humanity and the douche bags.

For a country that has little to nothing to begin with the Earthquake is not welcome to say the least.

On the good side many countries are sending aid and people to help the injured. If you are looking for a place to donate money check out the American Red Cross or just do a search on Haiti earthquake to find other groups to donate to.

On the bad side Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh decided to be douche bags about the event.

Limbaugh said:

[Paraphrased via Media Matters] I want you to remember, it took [Obama] three days — three days! — to respond to the Christmas Day fruit of ka-boom bomber … He comes out here in less than 24 hours to speak about Haiti … [later in same program] … they’ll use this to burnish ahhh their, ahhh shall we say, ahhh credibility with the black community, both the light skinned and, ahhh, hmmm … dark skinned black community … 

And Rev Robertson put his “spin” on things:

PAT ROBERTSON: And, you know, Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, “We will serve you if you will get us free from the French.” True story. And so, the devil said, “OK, it’s a deal.”

And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other. Desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It’s cut down the middle. On the one side is Haiti; on the other side is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, et cetera. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have and we need to pray for them a great turning to God. And out of this tragedy, I’m optimistic something good may come. But right now, we’re helping the suffering people, and the suffering is unimaginable. 

Hopefully the good side wins out and the douche bags STFU.
