Robertson, Limbaugh Dis Haiti

In case you haven't heard, televangelist Pat Robertson has said that the Haitian people have bad things happen to them because they made a pact with the Devil in exchange with getting the French out of their country many years ago. Meanwhile, Rush Limbaugh has been spouting all sorts of ludicrous vitriol regarding President Obama using this tragedy to curry favor with the Black community and also taking him to task for holding a press conference the day after the earthquake but not the day after the failed bombing in Detroit. Limbaugh also has said, "We already donated to Haiti. It's called the U.S. income tax." What does that even mean?/Andrea Reiher, Zap 2 News. More here.

Question: Do you believe the comments by Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh reflect the sentiments of their constituencies? Or are they being individually clueless?
