Sure, as soon as you can show where there was a mass movement by liberals to bring the former Iranian leader to Columbia. If I remember correctly, it didn't go over very well.

I hope they know that they just lined the pockets of A&E.

Did the framers believe that blacks, women, and non land owners should have rights? It doesn't appear so.
We fixed those little oversights, we will fix this one too.

Free speech works both ways. You only want it to work your way.

Robertson and the prick from Iran are the same.
I'm trying to post directly to the post with the picture of both but for some reason I can't.

People throw around bigotry too easily. Being a bigot doesn't mean "someone with views different from my own".

Bigot: a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group

Robertson: "We never, ever judge someone on who's going to heaven, hell. That's the Almighty's job. We just love 'em, give 'em the good news about Jesus - whether they're homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort 'em out later."

That is the polar opposite of refusing to accept or hating members of a particular group. He says specifically it's not for him to judge.

The only bigotry on display here is yours and people like you, who knee-jerk condemn someone without taking the time or effort to understand what they said.
He lumps gay and lesbian people in with drunks and terrorists and you think he is not 'judging' them?


If heterosexual ritual sex acts used while worshipping pagan fertility gods is a sin, does that mean heterosexuality is a sin too?
