"And does any idiotic thing that spews forth from his mouth still make news?"
Of course it will. Because it's perfect ammunition for the liberal media to demonize the republican party and christianity. I don't identify with those thoughts any more than the rest of you, but I read that article much differently then the rest of you.
It try's to equate an extreme religious view (albeit harmless), as having significant influence in the republican party. An influence that amount to "a political agenda for the entire world." I've seen Robertson many times, and he has more to say, much of which I have agreed with, than the quotes in this article, In fact, I can't say I've ever heard him say anything this far out any time i've watched him.
This crazy ass quotes are "nothing new to the Christian communty." Seriously, what are you people scared of. Do you really believe the implications of these quotes are as far reaching as the article would suggest. Let me put it another way, do you really believe the influence of these quotes are as far reaching in the christian community (or as devastating), as say a speach by a Muslim radical in that community - which the left spends time justifying - or at the very least doesn't "frighten" you.
You wonder why this makes the news, left by itself I bet this thread would go to 5 pages with the liberals on this board expressing their "moral disgust" at the quote, christianity, and conservatives. That should sort of answer your question.
