Instead of being the founder of the Christian Coalition, let's say Pat Robertson was a cleric at an Islamic mosque in London. Would his statements have garnered as much press?
The answer is no. Why?
1. Robertson wouldn't be considered a Republican supporter, which is what this is really all about.
2. This wouldn't be news. Islamic clerics and terrorists issue fatwas as if they are going out of style.
Now was Robertson wrong for making those statements? Yes. But it isn't like he is the first religious figure to ever call for the death of someone. Anyone remember Salman Rushdie?
Yes, the right has it's nuts as well as the left. The difference is, we don't make ours the RNC Chairman.
