* I cannot help but comment on two things. First is the reprehensible, wicked and utterly insensitive remarks by two men who have made a career gorging on racial and religious hatred: Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson. If it were up to Limbaugh, he would have claimed that President Obama's government caused the earthquake in Haiti; instead he settled on the conviction that Obama is enjoying the tragedy, as a moment to show off his fake humanitarianism in the face of President Bush's perceived apathy. I understand that spouting outrage on American radio and tv is a quick way for a host to keep his audience and sponsors enthralled--so long as he does not cross the path of a group that can cripple his business. But for Mr. Limbaugh to descend to this sort of rhetoric speaks to the extent he and other softcore-racist characters can go. Or how to understand "Reverend" Robertson's mystifying claim that Haiti is being punished for the pact their revolutionary ancestors signed with the Devil where he to unyoke them from French oppression. Jesus! Come to think of it; when the Jews were delivered from the imperial hand of the Pharaoh, it was God that rescued them; but when Haitians won their freedom from a system that combined slavery with colonial exploitation, it had to be devil that guaranteed that freedom. Right? Which makes you wonder: might Robertson be willing to go further to make the logical deduction, which should be that the God worshiped by the French and their sympathizers was the guarantor of slavery and colonialism?
Second, it is striking that 56% of respondents to a CNN poll said they were not making any donation to devastated Haiti. While I know that the economic crisis bites everyone hard, I cannot help but wonder--following Limbaugh's Americans have already helped Haiti by paying their tax--if these poll respondents include many of Limbaugh's listeners?
