If Pat Robertson publicly retracted his gay ring remarks, could he have the YouTube video removed?

No.

He might be able to do it as a copyright infringement issue, but he cannot censor YouTube because he doesn’t like the videos.

The kind of beautiful thing is that if he did try to have it removed for whatever reason, a kabillion people would mirror it on a thousand sites, and it would “the video Pat Robertson wants silenced”.

No, he has no control over it.

No, he can’t rid the Internet of his ignorance. His best move would be to just shut up.
In this internet age, people have learned that stuff put on here is permanent. Try as you might, you can’t remove your footprint from it.

Nope. Why would he? Look, there are people on both sides of the spectrum who are offensive to people. That’s part of what makes this country great!

Looks like he already tried and failed.

Once it’s there, it’s there…..read up on The Streisand Effect.

Has Robertson actually said that his statement was incorrect. I can’t imagine him doing such a thing.

I find it commendable that the blowhard is actually ashamed of something he said. There might be hope for him yet.
