If a renowned bigot endorses your campaign, does that make you a bigot? Same reasoning. People may hold position A, B, and C and espouse political philosophy D - but it doesn't mean the person they support and endorse coincides with all of those. I support McCain, but there's a TON of stuff we disagree on, and I'm mainly voting for him against Obama.
If Hamas endorses Obama, does that make him a terrorist - or does it just mean they formed an opinion, based on who's available? Does that mean his agenda coincides with theirs, or that he is more likely to allow them to advance their own without interference? It doesn't mean anything.
I personally think Pat Robertson has always, always been nuttier than a fruitcake, but I certainly wouldn't consider an endorsement by him to indicate that his candidate is on the same page with him.
