Pat Robertson’s comments about Haiti caused worldwide outrage. Christians who actually have read the Bible know God doesn’t act the way Roberston perceives things to be; non-Christians were disgusted and even the White House house spokesperson Valerie Jarrett had someting to say:

I’m kind of speechless about that kind of remark. Our heart goes out to the people of Haiti. … That’s not the attitude that expresses the spirit of the president or the American people, so I thought it was a pretty stunning comment to make.

Now Robertson’s spokesperson has come out with this spin atttempt:

Mr. Robertson never stated that the earthquake was God’s wrath. If you watch the entire video segment, Dr. Robertson’s compassion for the people of Haiti is clear. He called for prayer for them. His humanitarian arm has been working to help thousands of people in Haiti over the last year, and they are currently launching a major relief and recovery effort to help the victims of this disaster.

Robertson is currently raising money for Haitian relief. Expect some some missionary positioning as well.
