Donate Directly to help Haiti
BBC
The White House has dismissed as "stupid" comments by evangelist broadcaster Pat Robertson suggesting that quake-struck Haiti was cursed.
Spokesman Robert Gibbs said he was amazed by the remarks.
During a broadcast on his Christian Broadcasting Network, Mr Robertson suggested the Haiti's earthquake was divine retribution.
He said Haiti had sworn a pact with the devil when it freed itself from French colonial rule.
The White House said the comments were completely inappropriate.
"It never ceases to amaze, that in times of amazing human suffering, somebody says something that could be so utterly stupid," Mr Gibbs said.
"But it, like clockwork, happens with some regularity."

Luckily the US didn't sign a pact with the devil when we freed ourselves from English rule. Otherwise things like tornados and hurricanes and such would also be divine retribution.
