Believe me, that title is not my sentiment.  The source is that well known deep-thinker, michael moore.

Michael Moore: 250,000 Killed in Haiti Because It’s an Unregulated ‘Republican’s Paradise’

Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore, appearing on Friday night’s Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO to plug the DVD release of his Capitalism: A Love Story screed, cited the 250,000 killed in Haiti, which he snidely described as an unregulated “Republican’s paradise,” as an apt analogy to justify further regulation of U.S. banks.

Live via satellite from Manhattan, Moore spouted:

 

Chile had an earthquake this past week that was 500 times greater than the earthquake in Haiti. But here's the big difference. In Chile, they have various -- very serious regulations when it comes to building codes. So a thousand people died, sadly, but a thousand people died with a 500 times greater earthquake. And in Haiti, where there are no building codes, no regulations -- a Republican’s paradise -- a quarter of a million people died.

Haiti could better be characterized as an impoverished nation beset for decades by a corrupt socialist government.

Got that?  In the happy-horsemanure world of michael moore, a quarter of a million Haitians died because the country implemented Republican policies.  Yep, Republican Haiti.

And if that isn't enough for you, on the same show bill maher referred to the pentagon shooting earlier this week by saying:

"When we see crazy, senseless deaths like this, we can only ask why, why, why couldn't it have been Glenn Beck?"

Haiti is Republican.  Too bad Glenn Beck wasn't shot by a lunatic (who, by the way, was a registered Democrat, and had left-wing views of the military and of 9/11).  This is what passes for humor on maher's "real time" show on HBO. 

That pretty much says it all.
