my older sister about it earlier, and when she asked what I thought, I told her that I think the guy is a bigot. She made the case to me that Robertson is just an idiot, rather than a racist or a homophobe. She told me that she thinks those are just his misinformed beliefs because to her, it didn't sound like he said those things in a really mean way like people such as Limbaugh. It was kind of a long conversation I had with her about this, but then she basically went on to say that she thinks the reaction to what Robertson said may be a little too knee-jerk, and will end up hurting the cause of those fighting for equality in the long-run.
