I watched the clip. He doesn't come out and say "you can cherry-pick". However, he does say that the Bible condones slavery. Right after that, he says that we now know that treating humans like commodities is wrong. So the Bible: Slavery is a-okay! And modern society: Slavery is very, very wrong.
I take this to mean their is a seperation between what 'we' were doing in the those days as being different than what the bible condones. I see it this way because slaves were not "commodities" they have a very strict rights and laws governing how slaves were to be treated. There are nor were their any laws concerning the 'rights' of commodities.
Pat Chose His words very carefully, and if the clip was not edited short i am sure we would have saw him tie the precepts together... Matter of fact when I just googled it Pat was being slamed for condoning slavery and speaking out against an old recounting of a slave revolt, to defend what the bible says about slavery.

Again, not a big fan of Pat, but I am less of a fan of out and out slander.
