Letter to the Editor
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is directing donations to TV Evangelist Pat Robertson (Operation Blessing) who recently called for the assassination of the president of Venezuela. I think it's a shame that in this hour of crisis that Bush and FEMA are teaming up with crooked crazy evangelists to scam people who want to help. That might explain why FEMAs response to this disaster have been so ineffective. It appears that Religion has joined in on the looting of America along with the oil companies. Americans want to help the hurricane victims, not make Bush's political buddies rich.

Posted by marc at September 2, 2005 08:35 AMYou are exactly right. Pat Robertson is scum. I don't see why people who want to help others should have their money stolen and given to Pat "we ought to take him out" Robertson. Very few people realize that Robertson uses Operation Blessing as an excuse to scam innocent people out of money (the diamond mines in the Congo ring a bell?). If anything, televangelists like Robertson (especially those who charge people for prayers) are frauds.
