[Brian4Liberty]

Great. Now the NSA thinks I'm gay.

Nothing wrong with being happy at Christmas. "Don we now our gay apparel..."

The Obamacare people got it wrong, it's "don", not undon...

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Tha' fuck did I just watch?

Obamacare. Get enrolled!

 

[Petar]

Merry Christmas!

Gay people don't like liberty because they are stupid.

With as popular as this show is....... this is only going to hurt A&E. Not even sure if the rest of the clan would continue without the Dad.
Personally I am sick to death of people being condemned for exercising their right to free speech. When did everyone because such wussies and feel so desperate for everyone to agree with what ever they think of feel. Sick I tell ya!!

BREAKING: A&E kicks Phil Robertson off Duck Dynasty
http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/12/18/duck-dynasty-robertson-phil/

A&E broke its silence on Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson’s anti-gay comments late Wednesday.

The cable network announced Robertson is off the hit show for the time being.

The network issued the following statement to EW: “We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty. His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely.”

An A&E spokesperson confirmed this statement means exactly what it says: Robertson is off the show for an as-yet-undetermined period of time. The rest of his family will continue on the reality series.

Or you read Reason.

At least there's a girl in there. Hmmm. On second thought...

“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”

That's actually a fantastic way of coming to the realization that you are straight and that gay and bisexual men inherently have different tendencies, for whatever reason.

The ironic thing about his statement is in raw numbers in the US, it is likely there are more heterosexual men having anal sex with females than there are gay men having anal sex with men. My assertion is based on a CDC report which showed 44% of heterosexual men age 25-44 have had anal sex with a female. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr036.pdf

Publicity Stunt. They give Phil a vacation, the loudmouths from "the other side" get all worked up about it, Phil hugs a gay guy on his "welcome back" episode.

Ratings bonanza. The network wins. Phil wins. "The gays" win. And no one in the cheap seats learns a damned thing about tolerance, property rights (free speech), or the fact that we're all being played to fight among ourselves while the corporacrats laugh.

Free speech only applies to the things Progressives like. Now if we're talking about abortion...

Phil has wanted off the show for awhile.

In an interview with Parade magazine, Phil reveals that there will come a day when he's not a part of the hit reality series. When asked how much longer he'll star on the show, Phil replied, "Not long. But I think it'll go on without me."

FFS. LOL.

The rest of the family should quit in protest. It's completely ridiculous that A&E thinks they can do this.

Yes!

As I pointed out Phil has wanted out of the show for awhile. He may consider this a blessing as it would allow him out of any contracts. I think "the show will go on" as they say in snow business.

The gay lobby is completely out of control and wields way too much power in this country. I would never discriminate against someone who is gay and I do not advocate discrimination. However people need to start taking a stand and having a backbone against the radical gay lobby.

I do not even watch the show but this shit with the gay lobby getting people fired for their personal beliefs or some remark made under breath out of anger (Baldwin) is really starting to piss me off.

With that said I am not surprised that the scumbag A&E management fired him. This is the same network that paid the Gotti family. A&E just gave me another reason not to watch them or reminded why I don't watch them.

 

[juleswin]

Only on RPF are you expected to be tolerant of the intolerant. Only on RPF(and DU) is free speech expect to be a one way deal. Sorry guys but it is not a contradiction for a tolerant person to be intolerant of the intolerant, its the same way you showing no respect to someone who doesn't respect themselves doesn't make you a hypocrite. And also the idea that A&E firing this man for expressing his freedom of speech some how violates his freedom of speech omits the A&E by firing him is also expressing its freedom of expression. It just shows that actions be it in form of speech have consequences. You also use your freedom of expression by boycotting A&E for what they did to him. Its a free world.

I actually like the show in the few episodes I watch at work, the family is really nice and funny. I think the whole episode could have been handled differently, he like most people living in the country and non western countries have very little knowledge about gay people. He should have plead the 5th and said he knows nothing and them and their lifestyle. People indeed do fear what they do not understand and in his attempt to be frank about something he was ignorant about, he said something that offended the whole group of people

He should come out and do some sort of middle of the road apology and be done with it. Please man up and don't fuck it up for the rest of the clan.

He didn't say anything hateful or discriminatory. He's entitled to his beliefs and A&E is entitled to fire him. But the man's reputation should not be sullied over this. He's not a bigot.

I don't personally agree with what he said nor the way GLADD treated him. A&E is just stupid and will lose a ton of money over this.

 

[dannno]

He's not a bigot.

No, but he's quite the comedian.
