Haitian Catastrophe: For Racists, a Good Laugh

In Haiti, tens of thousands of earthquake victims are dead, with at least one official estimating the number could reach half a million when the full, horrifying effects of Tuesday night's earthquake in the island nation are finally known.

In Arkansas, Billy Roper figured that made for a pretty amusing joke. So the former high school teacher and current head of the neo-Nazi White Revolution group today announced a food drive he called "Nutrition for Neutering." "Yes," Roper's White Revolution website said, "you can get started on the ground floor with this charitable effort to provide one can of nonperishable food to each and every Haitian citizen affected by the earthquake who agrees to be sterilized."

Most of these comments are far beyond the pale of what most Americans, of any race, felt when they heard news of the Haitian tragedy. But it wasn't only neo-Nazis who said ugly things. Some of the most astounding comments came from people in the ostensible mainstream -- people like radio heavyweight Rush Limbaugh.

2. I can't believe Robertson, Rush and their ilk are taken seriously by anyone, anywhere, anytime.

These people make me, once again, embarrassed to be American. I'm embarrassed because trash like this rise to the top, are considered "leaders" and are treated as legitimate, not the fringe wacks that they are.

4. They are the leaders of the republican party and republican politicians must bow down to them.

7. And we all ''know'' that America is a ''conservative-right'' country.

As if by saying Ronald Raygun said it makes it so.
