FEMA (along with our whole gov't) In Bed With Evangelicals & Frauds

FEMA's top 3 charities listed for where to donate, includes Pat Robertson's organization, Operation Blessing, whose biggest funding goes to Robertson's own broadcasting network. The rest goes mostly to churches, and it seems aid only goes to white evangelicals. They were also not doing relief work in Louisiana at the time of the broadcast where I heard about this. There are only two secular groups listed on FEMA's list, despite many secular groups working down there. So research organizations before donating to them, and don't trust FEMA. But you knew that.

Robertson has also been to court for defrauding donors, and making misleading statements to solicit donations. He's a hypocrite, fraud, and racist. He's busy demonizing citizens of New Orleans and implying they deserve their suffering, while his "charity" is listed at #2 on FEMA's list.
