>>Supposed to. Seems to have quite a few things on his agenda, though. I found the biographies of different televangelists at rotten.com quite interesting; here is the one for Pat Robertson:

>Is there any way to forbid such people to speak in the open air? In the Netherlands and Brittain (and other European countries as well) only since very very recently the government is able to 'deport' those people to where they came from. But what to do with people who are born in the country and have no other passport?

Well, Peter, we do (you, me and Mr. Robertson at least) live in a free and open society where, as citizens of our respective countries, we may say (almost) whatever we want whenever we want.

The solution to "problems" like Mr. Robertson is to consistently de-value the nonsense they spout. They eventually become twits and people filter their words accordingly.

People like Mr. Robertson are the real test of a free and open democracy.
Far better to have idiots like him say what they want to say than to set up some arbitrary mechanism that is empowered to mute or penalize stupid statements. Under such a system "stupid" could quickly evolve to include dissenting opinion or other valuable voices.
