I believe that local broadcasters should be held accountable for the programming that goes out over their airwaves. In that respect, I would like to draw attention to those local TV stations that carry Pat Robertson's 700 Club.

After last week's devastating earthquake in Haiti, Robertson claimed that the impoverished island nation suffered the quake because of its "pact with the devil" to overthrow French rule under Napoleon over 200 years ago.

If you found Robertson's disgusting remarks about Haiti to be offensive, then I encourage you to contact your local station that carries his program and demand they stop carrying this vile person's show.

I long ago began boycotting ABC Family or FOX Kids or whatever it's now called because of the network's requirement to carry the 700 Club, as per agreement when the network was purchased from Robertson some years ago. Now that truly was a pact with the devil.

Tell these broadcasters that not only will you boycott their programming, but also all their sponsors as well. That might give them the incentive they need to dump the 700 Club. In Lubbock, KLBK TV13 carries this garbage. To find stations in your area, go to the 700 Club search page and enter your zip code.

Demented hater Pat Robertson.
