3. When will right wingers condemn Robertson the same way they did to Al Sharpton?

after Sharpton said back in '91 at the funeral of Gavin Cato (whose death preceded the Crown Heights riots), "Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid."

But Robertson is on their side and is backed by a fellow Religious Right guy who happens to be Jewish, so it's OK I guess.
