'Duck Dynasty' Under Fire Following Star's Incendiary Anti-Gay Remarks

[CrusaderFrank]

Putin is anti-gay and runs Obama's foreign policy

Hypocrite, thy name is Democrat.

We shot that one down hours ago. Nice try. It's got problems. Lots of 'em.

You think it got shot down, you just can't explain liberal hypocrisy. Nice try.

Oh no, I know I shot it down. Would you like to get embarrassed again?

Roll tape....

"Liberals"??

This was A&E -- not "liberals".

Btw how can you behead a guy and then hang him? And after you've done either one how can you burn them "alive"? Something not-well-thought-out about this specious image...

The word is "gays" as in "more than one". I'm assuming that the one that was beheaded is not the one that was burned alive.

In any case Ron Burgundy's blanket "liberals" doesn't apply to either one. And to the extent that the Iranian side does exist it's yet another warning sign of what theocrazy produces. I don't know about Iran but the Inquisition burned a lot of people alive. And they didn't even have to be gay.

How's the labelmaker holding up? It's been getting a lot of use today....

******* hypocrite.

I know Zero about "Duck Dynasty" - so I youtubed it.

All I gotta say, man, what a bunch of flippin idiots.

That is all.

I've never seen it either, but just from the description of it, what you say makes all kinds of sense.

I'm surprised it's on A & E, which used to be a pretty good network with material that promoted 'culture.' Has it sold out too?

 

[ItsOnlyMe]

If everyone were fired for thinking or even saying anything against gays, we'd be at 95% unemployment. If I were in Phil's shoes, I'd make no more mention of this, and simply sever ties with A&E and move on to another network. or take my money and retire. Unfortunately all this does is once again fuel the idea that the poor gays are "victims" once again. I am sick of it. It plays right into the gays' hands. Once again they are center of attention. They are eating it up. And just because someone doesn't think being "gay" is normal, that doesn't mean we hate them or fear them (don't make me laugh!) or anything else. It is just not normal. Period.

Yeah, a while ago unfortunately. It's now a worthless junkyard of shows about freaks or freaks collecting junk. A day in the life of a pawn shop and such. NatGeo has gone down the same path; I made the comparison last night between those channels and TheDoctorIsIn noted that they're commonly owned. So that's probably a story right there.

Ignominious regresson for a network whose first name is "Arts". That's a joke now.

How do you know what is 'normal'? Ten percent of the population is homosexual. Animals engage in same sex sexual activity. Prove, other than what your religion says, that homosexual behavior is not 'normal.' Empirically, with solid, indisputable, scientific evidence.

 

[daveman]

It doesn't. But when did they appear in the first place?

No, I'm offering what we call a counterbalance to these wacko ideas that "the left yammeryammer this" and "the left yammeryammer that". Maher got the same thing.

But for different reasons. Certainly not for his homophobia.

Right.

.... and?

And nothing. Robertson is getting crucified for his alleged homophobia.

Maher gets a free pass for his.

It doesn't matter what is said. All that matters is who's saying it.

Getting fired is a "pass"? Did you read my post?

Again... morals clause. Standard procedure when you sign up to be a "reality" show actor.

Right -- he was fired (or whatever it was) most likely on the morals clause.
Who are we talking about?

'Duck Dynasty' family pushes back: 'Cannot imagine' show without Phil​

By Lynette Rice and James Hibberd on Dec 19, 2013 at 9:55PM

The Robertson clan is sticking together. In a new twist to the Duck Dynasty controversy, the family behind A&E’s hit series released a statement saying they “cannot imagine” doing the unscripted show without patriarch Phil Robertson.

The family posted the remarks on their website after the network suspended Robertson for anti-gay and racially charged comments he made in a GQ magazine interview.

...

Though the tight-knit Louisiana clan doesn’t indicate any intent to leave the show, the statement certainly suggests they don’t believe the show could continue without the patriarch. As our analysis pointed out earlier, a Duck Dynasty without Phil Robertson would seem odd. He may not be the focus of the series, but his absence will inevitability remind viewers of the controversy and add to the impression that the program is far from “reality.” The show is supposed to revolve around the wealthy family, who makes duck callers for hunters.

...

Opines one TV business affairs expert, “Other than wanting to distance themselves from those statements, I’m not sure how A&E would have legal grounds to fire them for breach of contract.”

Either way, A&E is in a major pickle. By suspending the “Duck Commander,” executives infuriated the cast and conservative fans who love him.
...

Fans have rallied in support of Phil Robertson. More than 500,000 Duck Dynasty fans have Liked a Facebook page supporting an A&E boycott, while more than 70,000 have signed a change.org petition asking for the network to return him to the series.

Here are a couple of lists of A&E sponsors. Start contacting sponsors to let them know you cannot support any company that would continue to advertise on this subversive network that fails to support the First Amendment. You can contact A&E directly, too.

Seriously 60 pages is sad enough. But this is ridiculous. I hate to be crude but it seems to be the only way to call the trolls out. The purpose of sex is for procreation. That is it's function. That is normal. A guy dumping a load in another guy's ass is not. Like it or not that's reality. If you think it is then fine. But have the spine to say hey it ain't right but they have a right to do it.

 

[WheelieAddict]

Dat media will get you when you say stupid shit.

The guy has the right to his opinion. His employer has the right to suspend him if they consider it offensive. Capitalism in action. He is free to take his show to another network.

 

[strollingbones]

phil isnt stupid...and he is fundie..and they have been attempting to reign him and his religious beliefs in on the show.....anyone could see this coming who followed the show....the family objects to words that are not dirty being bleeped....etc....the brother who is joining the show is a minister....and phil is outspoken....i have no problem with what phil said.....and i have no problem with the consequences of his actions.....nor do i have any problem with the consequences a & e will have for this..which one will overcome the consequences is the question....
