Did A&E violate section 7 of the Civil Rights Act?

Why,, I am a Heterosexual male.. I would prefer a vagina to any mans asshole.

I think this would be the majority position as well. even among non religious heterosexual men.

And the chorus from the PC crowd all shout together "IGNORANT." LOL! Most of the PC crowd does even know what the meaning of "ignorant" even is, but it is obviously the term that has been chosen to be used against anyone that agrees that a man should have a sex with a woman and not another man.

They ignore the fact that the man has a Masters degree, you disagree with the gay lifestyle, IGNORANT, believer in the Christian faith, IGNORANT, Louisiana ,IGNORANT by default, live in any rural area, IGNORANT, long beard, IGNORANT.

I am so sick of the Progressives, I really do not want to live in the same country with these people or be governed by their ideology.

He could be a rocket scientist but he is still ignorant about gay people. This is a man wondering aloud why gay people prefer a man's ass over a woman's ass. Sorry but if this is not ignorance, I don't know what is.

Its funny nobody blamed the "progressives" or called it political correctness run amok when Martin Bashaar got fired for saying Sarah Palin should eat feces.

There is no comparison of a scripted news anchor talking about intentionally degrading a woman by talking a dump in her mouth verse a manly reality TV star redneck speaking off the cuff for an edgy entertainment magazine about his beliefs.

You are doing an interview with GQ you are supposed to wonder out loud about stupid crap in a funny edgy way. I and I believe most straight men cannot phathom it. It is simply talking about what people whom read that magazine can relate to.

What makes you believe he's (really) "speaking off the cuff"?

Even if he prepared those statements in advance of the interview it still does not change the point I was making.

This forum is supposed to be full of enlightened libertarian types.

Yet you sit here and act like typical MSM sheeple, dumbing down an issue to "HERP DERP HE WAS FIRED FOR BEING A WHITE CHRISTIAN! AMERICAS WAR ON CHRISTIANITY CONTINUES!"

Nobody gives two fucks if he is Christian or Muslim or what. They care that he represents their network and he spouted off ignorant redneck BS. How hard is that to understand?

They knew damned well what they were getting when they signed him on. They're cowards buckling under PC pressure - just like the Food Network did to Paula Deen.

 

[Deborah K]

So suddenly RPF thinks the CRA matters because a white Christian is under attack? Oh the double standard.

A&E should be able to dump his ass for any reason they want to. The fact that he happens to be a moronic hick has nothing to do with it.

This "moronic hic" was drafted for the NFL ahead of Terry Bradshaw. He turned it down. He was a star quarter back in college. Designed the duck call and his 2nd son (who has an MBA) parlayed his invention into a multi-million dollar business. These people aren't stupid. Rednecks, yes. Devout Christians, yes. I personally think it's moronic for people to espouse uninformed opinions about the Robertsons.

 

[pcosmar]

THEN YOU DON'T .

He was not talking about what a gay man thinks.

He was talking about what He,,himself,, as a heterosexual man , thinks.

When someone gets fired on their own show for agreeing with Christian teachings, there is a war on Christianity.

Which Christian teaching did he agree with, and do you agree with Christian teachings also?

 

[tod evans]

He got fired for being a monkey brained ignorant redneck moron who spouted some extremely offensive bullshit. A&E has an interest in protecting their reputation, and with the outrage over it of course they are going to can him.

Can't believe this forum is filled with so many people who think two consenting adults engaging in a sexual relationship is on the level of murdering someone or raping a child. Sick bastards.

I'm one of those uncompromising Christian rednecks who just happens to be rude/crude and socially unacceptable and I find your characterization of me as a forum member offensive.

Don't like what I type? Too bad!

Don't like some guy on TVs opinion of homos? Too bad!

You are one of those oversensitive folks who feel it's your place to look down on people who live or believe differently than you do.....

Please sir, bring your pansy ass out to the Ozark Mountains and start spouting off about how you think the locals should behave.

Very few folks here give a fuck how you behave until you try to dictate our behavior, you'll be in for a rude awakening.

[edit]

There are enclaves of Jesuits, Nuns, Socialists, Homos, Christians, Satanists, Hippies, Rednecks and damn near any other subset of society out here in the sticks, we tolerate one another, we don't accept anyone.

And all of the various groups mind their own business.

When one bunch starts trying to dictate how another should behave genuine feuds start and they'll often run for generations.

 

[torchbearer]

The statute is bullshit and to cite it for any purpose other than to point out the hypocrisy or other failure to hold the employer in question accountable is equally baloney. Not saying your are guilty of this, just that if the law is bullshit, and it is, we should not be crying for A&E to be held to comply. The employment deal is a private contract and if A&E wants to fire, it is their right to do so.

All this labor law is quasi-socialist nonsense and all it succeeds in doing is causing more harm than it aims to prevent.

Another splendid victory for "government"

I don't mind applying a person or organizations own standards against themselves.
i don't like the cra personally.

Phil referenced this passage in his statement:
1 Corinthians 6:9: Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men...

When he was talking about the sin, it actually wasn't his opinion, from his perspective, he was just speaking a religious truth.

I'm assuming it was on purpose for a purpose that is serving it's purpose very well.

But whose purpose?

OK, what on earth did you eat to get you so constipated?

If you don't like an opinion - or a thread - or a site, why do you remain here? It seems you relish your apparent indignation... for what purposes I cannot tell. But when someone appears this upset about something but fails to do the one thing I know he can do to stop being tormented by it, which is to leave, I also know that something is failing the kosher test.

Happy Channukah.

I think liberals have made such a loud racket over political correctness and gay rights that most any business feels that offending gays is going to ruin them.

Seems Chik-fil-et proved that one mistaken.

Some may think this harsh, but the American people don't really care about gay rights.

That is because there is no such thing as "gay" rights beyond it being a synonym for "human" rights. But some of the homos have learned to try to milk it for all it's worth.

hmmm...i'm not clear on this, Is the story that the guy who signs Robertsons paycheck can't fire him for anything he says on or off the clock, and does it matter?...whats Robertsons contract say on this?...anyone?

not a natural law debate. those are basically the first words in bracket.
so that should nip that confusion.

the question is- assuming we are going to apply to A&E the government system and laws it supports- did they break CRA?

It would seem so.

Though I think the Market itself will punish A&E without/or regardless of the CRA.

I'd like to read Robertsons contract with A&E. Seems most celebrity contracts have a morals clause....inflammatory comments about a group of people (collectivist mindset) is a common legal tactic to protect a business owner.

I'm going to have to side with the boss on this one. His comment were in my opinion wrong on many levels, but it should be up to the guy signing the checks....ultimately....
