A&E Taking Heat For Suspending 'Duck Dynasty's' Phil Robertson

A company called Skyjacker -- which builds truck suspensions -- tells us it stands solidly behind Phil and the show ... saying it's a matter of God and country -- it's a free country and Phil has a right to his opinions.

I think an interesting question for Skyjacker would be this: Would they hire this guy and allow him to spew his hate while representing their product?
 
Nothing what Phil said was racist.

What Phil said was bigoted, yes.

Bigot
: a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc. : a bigoted person; especially : a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group)
: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

AFTAH stands with Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson against GLAAD's "homo-fascist" campaign to demonize

CHICAGO – Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) President Peter LaBarbera urges Americans to stand behind Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson’s right to free speech – and affirmed his common-sense views on sexual sin and morality as being consistent with historic Christian and biblical teachings. LaBarbera condemned A&E for “caving in to the anti-Christian homo-fascism of GLAAD” (formerly the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) by suspending Robertson.


“There’s far more truth and wisdom in what Phil Robertson told GQ than in the everyday pro-‘gay’ pablum that is pumped out daily by the liberal media,” LaBarbera said. “Indeed, male homosexual anal sex is not just repulsive and wrong, but highly dangerous – contributing to the disproportional link between ‘men who have sex with men’ and HIV and other sexually-transmitted diseases (see below).

So you continue to reaffirm my statement that bigots will support other bigots.

Awww geeeeze. Not this shit again. So the fuck what? Still doesn't mean we should go around bad mouthing people, saying they're going to hell or want to pass laws to stop them from doing things.

And that's hardly an unbiased source you're quoting from.
 
Christians only seem to cry about "freedom of religion" when they see one of their own called out yet have no issue trying to limit others freedoms...

I had to stop reading that link, it was just making me too angry to think that someone out there is that hateful...but than again my friends keep telling me that I should stop being surprised by human behavior.

I'm sure Shilliam Watner is just as outraged about what happened to those Muslim families as he is about the Duck Dynasty guy.

Right, Shilliam?

But advocating for the despicable act of two men engaging in the vile act of anal sex is not. Welcome to Obama's America.
Hey - is anal sex still "vile" if it is between a man and woman? Or should I ask President Obama, since you believe it's his fault?
 
There are political forums and message boards across the
web with polls supporting this guy. I've seen it all day long. Even a major sponsor is threatening to pull their support if Phil is not reinstated.

What about his racist comments, Shilliam?
Nothing what Phil said was racist.

And what of those people who got Lowe's to pull their advertising from All Americn Muslim.

You're complaining that Phil Robertson was sin binned and it's anti-Christian behavior yet but you silence when it's aimed as non-Christians is deafening.

As I said in my first post - it's hypocrisy pure and simple.

And in closing I'll reminder of what Jesus had to say.

"Love one another as I have loved you".

He love all and accepted all - it's a pity his followers don't practice what he preached.

Amazing, a group of ignorant bigots support another ignorant bigot. Will the wonders ever stop?
Phil Robertson, a self made millionaire family man with exceptional moral values, is not ignorant by a long shot.

That is your opinion, and it is based in a bigotry all its own, as your statements in this thread are in full support of said bigotry.

Funny, Shilliam hasn't responded.

Got news for you sunshine.

It's uni graduate and MBA Willie that made the company what it istoday and made millionaires out of them.

So Willie is the self made millionaire - the others have just benefited.

Robertson's third son Willie Robertson, who is now the CEO of the company, expanded the family business into a multi-million dollar enterprise. The Robertson Family is now the subject of an A&E television show called Duck Dynasty.

Shilliam knows as much about Duck Dynasty as he does the Bible, the Constitution and general business. Which isn't much.

Since he thinks blacks were happier under Jim Crow, calling him ignorant is being polite. No amount of money he makes off of his relatives hard work will ever change that.

Of course not. He ignored my post where I equated A&E to a business and Robertson as one of it's employees. No company is going to sit around while their employees make statements that could offend said company's consumers.
