Why isn't Pat Robertson a radical cleric?

[dsc]

Other than the name of the religion being misused, I fail to see any difference whatsoever between Robertson and the radical clerics that we hear so much about in the Middle East. If they are radical clerics, then so is he.

1. He's certainly a religious extremist

2. Um,...he IS a radical cleric.

He just IS.

3. Can you site even one news cast which refers to him as that?

[Carla in Ca]

9. It's what I'm going to refer to him as from now on

He deserves no less.

4. He should be put on the no fly list

He should be put on the no fly list.

5. Well, yes, you actually are absolutely correct.

Just too bad that the Great Ignorant Unwashed out there won't manage to figure it out.

They'll find some lame excuse or other why they don't feel your statement is true, even though it is irrefutably correct.

And that's a shame. Though we'll have the solace, for whatever it's worth, of knowing that we know the truth.

7. He is a terrorist. His assassination order is a terroristic threat.

He is perfectly prosecutable under existing US law.

[unschooler]

8. Um. Which law is that?

I think private citizens are allowed to make asinine remarks.

10. USA PATRIOT Act, of course.

Not that the USA PATRIOT Act isn't grossly unconstitutional, but according to its own written word, his terrorist threat (wording used in the USA PATRIOT Act) is prosecutable.
