No matter how bad Pat Robertson's public relations judgment was in blurting out his belief that the Haitians were to blame for their own destruction, Robertson's outrageous statements are symptomatic of the tendency -- in fact, the necessity -- for all religious extremists to demonize The Other. They must blame the victim since to do otherwise would be to blame their version of God for such tragic events.
