Top 10 Featuring Pat Robertson

Pat "pact with the devil" Robertson seems to have hit a bit of a nerve. Typically his insensitive and inconsiderate comments cause a few people to speak out but usually that is the end of it. Now with social websites connecting people like never before comments that insult and inflame can spread fast and far. When Robertson said that the Haitians were responsible for their own state of condition the internet light up with righteous anger from the non-believers and believers alike.

I just took a look at the top 10 posts for the past 24 hours on my website Global Atheist. Aside from position #7 and #10 everything is about Pat Robertson. I haven't seen an event occur that caused this many articles on one subject get pushed to the top like this.

I doubt I have to remind anyone, but Pat Robertson is the one who blamed the attacks of September 11th on the ACLU, the destruction of New Orleans in Katrina on gays and lesbians, and now the earthquake in Haiti on a "pact with the devil." Rachel Maddow nails it on the head in the following video clip, "Pat Robertson is the the unintended consequence of the first amendment".
