Do Republicans lack the moral courage to denounce Pat Robertson?

Seemed like Democrats and African-Americans spent most of the nineties under media pressure to denounce Farrakhan. Why isn't the same pressure put on Republicans and white people (and maybe even Christians) to denounce Robertson?

<edit>

Republican presidential hopefuls were quick to blast the president's speech as well. Former Tennessee Governor Lamar Alexander and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole both took issue with Clinton's refusal to directly name Farrakhan in his speech.

"President Clinton should have had the courage to condemn him by name," Alexander said. "The reason we have a president is to provide leadership at times like these."

Dole echoed Alexander's comments. "I am shocked and dismayed that President Clinton did not find the moral courage to denounce Louis Farrakhan by name in his speech today in Texas," he said. "Farrakhan is a racist and anti-Semite, unhinged by hate. He has no place in American public life, and all who would lead must say so."

White House press secretary Mike McCurry said that the president did not name Farrakhan -- or Mark Fuhrman, the former Los Angeles police detective caught on tape using racial epithets -- because the references to the two men were clear.

Robertson by name, because he needs the support of the religious right. He needs to be called on his lack of courage.

but his position on the issues. I think they want to be careful about not appearing as judgmental as PR. PR makes his comments under the guise of a quiet, caring, fatherly figure, so replays of his comments may not make his comments come off as virulent as other speakers. And that makes him really dangerous, as he is such a fake.

but especially moral courage. Heck, they are immoral bigots and murderers, what do you expect them to do?

They truly believe that if they pretend that the psychotics among them are actually smart, then it will be good for America.

Good luck getting the Republicans to denounce him.
