Reply #11: Large scale catastrophes of this sort always elicit moralistic accusations [View All]

from religious nuts like Pat Robertson, because these events make their disneyland god appear so glaringly impotent and absurd. The only way for Robertson to save face is to blame the victims. Similarly with that snake-oil huckster Limbaugh, he has to distort history and fabricate an interpretation that will distract from any discussion of reality. Again it's blame the victims. Both hucksters are grasping at straws in order to inoculate their followers against the obvious. They choose to close their eyes. They will not see because they don't want to feel.
