I don't need any product right now, but took your advice and donated directly.<br /><br />Yankee, the reason so many workers for the U.N., Brasil, the U.S. and other countries were in Haiti before the earthquake (many of whom now are among the victims) was to assist the current, largely honest Haitian government build politcal institutions. <br /><br />As many of the others have pointed out, free speech applies just as much to the people calling a stupid comment stupid as the people who make the stupid comment.Joelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-400102524735816172010-01-14T23:07:28.757-05:002010-01-14T23:07:28.757-05:00As a Canadian Baptist pastor,I am less concerned a...As a Canadian Baptist pastor,I am less concerned about 'free speech' or political correctness than I am about a public figure who calls himself a follower of Christ saying such fucking idiotic things that show he has no understanding about the life or ministry of Jesus.<br />Michael BurdgeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-27305035594027864332010-01-14T21:05:41.413-05:002010-01-14T21:05:41.413-05:00What is next for PatRo ?

That seems to be an important part of free speech. <br /><br />Robertson regularly promotes hatred in the name of religion. That's why he's been referred to as the American Taliban.

Despite the first amendment, we don't really have free speech with politically correct pop culture vultures circling overhead. Nothing really special there. Robertson said his group is now collecting donations for Haiti. IMO I hope people donate to relief agencies instead of giving cash to the Tin Horn crooks that control Haiti.yankee_dollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440582087070295095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-49742130633187393352010-01-14T11:25:50.919-05:002010-01-14T11:25:50.919-05:00I placed an order with you folks today AND made a ...I placed an order with you folks today AND made a donation to Doctors Without Borders.
