CNN Fabricating New Papa Phil Controversy
Is Phil Robertson advocating men marry teenage girls?
1.3.2014 |Trey Sanchez |
CNN's Pamela Brown is suggesting that Phil Robertson advises "men to marry women at a very young age." Her proof? At age 20, Papa Phil married his wife, who was 16 at the time.
Brown offered further "proof" by showing footage from 2009 where Robertson, speaking at a sportsman's camp in Georgia, joked about marrying young.
You wait till they get to be 20 years old, the only picking that's going to take place is your pocket. You gotta marry these girls when they're about 15 or 16 and they'll pick your ducks."
To highlight the absurdity of what is clearly meant as a joke, Robertson goes on to say, "You need to check with mom and dad about that, of course," however, CNN decided that did not fit their story, so they edited it out.

Somebody's missing an opportunity here if they're making a point about pedophilia rather than about sexism.
Here's the actually significant line, which comes at 0:56:
"You wait 'til they get to be 20 years old, the only pickin' that's gonna take place is your pocket".
-- He's not advising marrying very young out of pedophilia; he's advising tying a woman down before she gets old enough to understand what she's doing. The same thinking that tells us to house-train a dog when it's a puppy, rather than later on. It would seem, from this quip at least, that that's how he views women.
The same reason when we have a military draft it goes for 18-year-olds. They need the immaturity that can be indoctrinated without too much questioning.
If you knew anything about what was said and who Phil was talking you you wouldn't seem so stupid.
Hint he was talking to teen age boys about marrying teen age girls.
