Robertson has stated on his radio program that "Islam is not a religion. It is a violent political system bent on the overthrow of the governments of the world and world domination". Adherents of Islam should be treated as "we would members of the Communist Party or members of some fascist group".
Virginia governor elect Bob McDonnell is a friend who has taken donations from Robertson, went to his school and considers him his minister. The issue is-to me at least-if Barack Obama was forced to denounce Jeremiah Wright for his 20 year old statements who isn't McDonnell being asked to do the same in regard to Robertson?
I guess what's good for the goose is not good for the gander.
