Phil Robertson and Duck Dynasty

brent460 · 12-19-2013, 01:23 PM

God bless him, them, and screw A&E for suspending Phil. After I get out of the hospital Im going to go buy ANOTHER shirt.

Rebelrider · 12-19-2013, 01:28 PM

I don't care for the show, but this is another example of liberalism f'n this country into the ground.

i must be missing the point, he said his beliefs, regardless if i agree or disagree with his opinions. his employer did not like the comments and suspended him . he has free speech but not exempt from repercussions. i support his right to say what he thinks no matter how ignorant it is but i also agree with employers right to bring down there punishment. not liberal or conservative but real world .

One of the smartest comments I read on this site.

What's liberal about it is the groups like GLAAD that will go to the ends of the earth to destroy A&E until they give in. It's how they operate an most large corps know this.

Not sure about you but I can't go into my job and rant about anti gay or race and still have that job at the end of the day, nothing to do with politics. When you run a Business like a&e you want everyone to love your shows and piss off the least amount of people.

brent460 · 12-19-2013, 01:48 PM

I get it. Someone didnt like what he said so now he wont be on the show. Its no diffrent from my every day job. Just think its bs that it seems like nobody can say anything without hurting someones feelings. The mans a Christian is it really any surprise he believes being gay is a sin?

Where did I say anything about his employer being at fault? It's about asshole people that want to destroy someone because they don't agree with them.

Dustin_mud, I already know your stance on the gay thing. You know what? I don't care. That is your belief and I will not try to convince you different. It's your right as an American and a human. I can promise you that I will not come to your place of employment and try and destroy you or the business, just because you don't agree with me.

A&E only did this as damage control.

dustin_mud · 12-19-2013, 01:55 PM

Yeah what he said wasn't a shocker but he should have known his implored is big into gay rights.

Spacecwboy · 12-19-2013, 02:09 PM

don't bite the hand that feeds you!

What else does A&E have going for them? American Hoggers? Storage Wars Texas? Shipping Wars?

With the exception of Bonnie and Clyde (which I can see on 10 other channels), I don't see them having much of a draw. The man has a right to his opinion, unfortunately it was taken slightly out of context (read the other half of that interview).

the silent majority is getting restless and it is just a matter of time before they get tired of having their feet stepped on by every minority group out there that cries every time they get their feeling hurt.

he is entitled to his opinion, A&E is entitled to terminate their contract with him and we as the viewing public are entitle to our right to ***** and complain.

Haha what I said had 0 to do with my beleafes, what he said didn't bother me and I like the show. A&E has supported gay rights for a long time, there's no damage control, he said something they didn't like. You do something to piss your employer off you get fired, facts of life.

maskale · 12-19-2013, 02:56 PM

Here's what I don't get about the whole gay issue.

As a heterosexual anyone can criticize me and probably every other heterosexual about being heterosexual, and guess what, they won't care, I'll just laugh about it. Because it's who I am, and I'm not the least bit insecure about it.

So why does anyone expressing their opinion about gays offend so many if it's who u are and u truly believe in it.

Since when is it ok to fire someone for their religious beliefs? They knew what his stance was before they asked. GQ just wanted to stir **** up.

51JeepWillys · 12-19-2013, 03:37 PM

He has been wanting off anyway. He must how found a way out.

That only pertains to Muslims. Christianity is the punching bag for liberals for some odd reason.

whitesnake · 12-19-2013, 10:47 PM

I read this on another forum and liked it,

If you are liberal, gay or lesbian, you can speak your mind freely. If you are straight, married, or Christian you can't without making someone mad.

72blazer · 12-19-2013, 11:28 PM

Fawk those Christian beliefs! Ain't like this country was founded on them anyway...

So much wrong in this country that nothing is a surprise, starting with stupid HelenaAG...good to see the silent majority being not so silent...

dustin_mud · 12-19-2013, 11:40 PM

Again your all making this about something it's not, he hurt his emploryers bottom line so he got suspended. He could have just answered I don't agree with it because of my beleafes and leave it at that but he went on a little rant. Didn't help he also talked about how he felt blacks were happier before civil rights singing in the Cotton fields. Lol

You honestly think that I believe this isn't about your thoughts on gays/blacks? Just like when you jumped MM's *** about his joke he made?

Did your gay friend ever join the board? Or did all of us stupid bigot rednecks scare him away?

mudnmyvayne · 12-20-2013, 07:16 AM

I'd take a little mouse ear or even a wizard sleeve over a hairy culo....I don't see the issue. I'll give lesbians a pass only cause I like to eat tacos too..

Big4x4ride · 12-20-2013, 09:33 AM

I really could care less of whether he supports gays or not, my issue is he is asked a question, answered it honestly and then the **** storm ensues.. Nowadays you have to say what people want to hear, not what you really feel. Why have interviews if it's all going to be BS that isn't the persons true beliefs.. Remember A&E needs them much more than they need A&E. I'm sure the duck dynasty guys will be just fine, hell look at chick fil a, they say they are against gays and business has never been better. Nothing to do with them disliking gays, it's about them being honest with their beliefs..

I think the only people that are going to be hurt by this are the thin skined. A&E will get more attention/free advertisement as will GQ and Duck Comander and so on and so forth. Im with Big4x4 people are to dang sensative these days. I mean Mitch looks like a real life lawn gnome in bib overalls but nobody cares if I say hatefull things about him. Mostly because nobody likes him. Lol!!!
