>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.

Bravo Jim.
Well said. Like you said he has said a lot of things that were... well, not too politically correct, to put it nicely, in the past.

Fortunately not many Christians agree with him on this. He should stay away from politics and stick to what he does best, whatever that may be.
