Please don't put words into my mouth. You raised the First Amendment argument. I didn't. And as was pointed out to you elsewhere, there is no First Amendment issue in play, since there is no contemplated governmental action against Mr. Robertson. Nor would I advocate such. Pat Robertson and his group have the financial capability to operate a television program, and they are certainly entitled to say whatever they want to say on their program. But that doesn't mean he's immune to, or should be shielded from, responsive criticism, including being "called on the carpet" by folks like me when he makes idiotic, hurtful statements.
