The god Pat worships is in jail for tax fraud. He is a businessman, his wife told the press he was a businessman back during his presidential campaign:"He is not a television evangelist. He has never been an evangelist. He is a television broadcaster. He has a law degree. He's a businessman. He has a multi-million dollar business that he started with $70. He's a good businessman."Pat can go insulting the Haitians because they're not going to stop doing business with him. They're worthless as producers or consumers of his dreck. That's more because they're predominently Roman Catholic instead of the economic hardships the media has liked to talk up. But with bullshit statements like this which paint the whole nation as some sort of heathen voodoo nightmare he can stir up his viewers. And all those braindead yokels will give him shitloads of money to send food to the country accompanied by missionaries and his bibles loaded with interpretive pamphlets. He gets to take his cut of the 'good will', and, even better, he gets to skim even more off the top to support the Republicans who have been good little boys and girls toeing his line. Sure, it's just pennies on the donated dollar that will ever leave this country, let alone actually help some Haitian, but this scam is a tax deductable religious charity. Plain and simple he's a vulture, preying human suffering for his own economic and political gain. He is fundamentally no better than the reprehensible fools who are already sending out emails claiming to be a Haitian in need. Fine, he sugar coats by appealing to the value his viewers put in evangelizing, but they're kidding themselves if they think they're going to gain a toehold in that country. In the end most of the money will end up in the the pockets of Pat, his friends, and the politicians they support. |
