Phil Roberston "controversy"

[t.nie]

I never saw any statement from A&E admitting they made a mistake. They just said some drivel about inclusion and respect and golly thanks for letting us in your home.

What I did see though, was a 13% drop in viewership after the suspension, which equates to a loss of millions in revenue. A&E figured out that gays and lesbians weren't watching anyway, so who cares who the Robertsons offend?

Dollars won. End of story. So be good little supporters and keep buying your Duck Dynasty merchandise. Both A&E and the Robertsons appreciate your support, especially your money.

We don't need your permission. We'll buy what we want to buy.
At least for now, until Liberals decide to take away that right from us too. After all, they seem to think they know what we want or need to buy more than we do.

What is it with your right wingers that you can never quote a whole post, you just cherry pick parts and respond, and you never seem to get the message?

I never said you did need my permission. I could care less what your spend your money on. But this little storm in a teacup just demonstrated again that all the networks care about is money. In fact, in this nation that is ALL we care about, money.

Phil is also on record promoting being a pedophile and advocating marrying underage girls. The left will recoil in horror at the moral indecency of the man while the right will again denounce any denouncement of their favored son as impinging his right to "religious freedom" and "free speech."

The best analysis of this whole situation I read brought back the Dixie Chicks fiasco when one of them said she was against the war and ashamed to admit to being from Texas after Bush declared war. The right lost their minds, burned CDs by the thousands and called for boycotts of anything to do with the Dixie Chicks. Of course, the conservative crowd thought this was all perfectly acceptable behavior, right up until their little bearded darling got his wings clipped for being a racist homophobe, then it was all about "freedom of speech" rights being infringed upon.

It's always the same, on these boards and in our nation in general. We don't hold everyone to the same standard, we pick and choose. If the person being penalized is someone we disagree with, then it's fair play. When it's not, we scream about our constitutional right to be ignorant morons. It happens on both sides. And it's a complete waste of time discussing it.

You do have some valid points and what happened to the Dixie chicks was just plain wrong. The right got all butt hurt over what Natalie Maines said about their beloved George Bush

You're kinda weird. I made a statement, "keep buying the koolaid," and you take that as me giving permission?

Ok. Just looks to me like you just want to fight with someone, over something, and you will twist whatever someone you personally hate says into something to argue over.

Have a nice day.

Dixie chicks are bad examples. Because, folks simply quit going to their concerts and buying their music. If people quit watching Duck Dynasty the show will go away as well. Phil has his right to say what he said, but A&E also had a right to do what they did. With all thats going on in this country and world. I think we all have alot more to worry about, then what some guy who makes duck calls says.
I will say this conservatives have to quit saying stupid things in public. Reagan was pro-life through and through, but he never talked about it, and when asked, he simply said he was pro--life. Romney 47% statement lost him the election. Other republicans spout off about aborition. Just say your pro-life, and support the laws on the books.

You don't get the message either. I pointed out how you were accusing Phil of saying things ("his words") when they were actually quotes from scripture. You didn't exactly own up to your mistake on that one did you?

Phil is also on record promoting being a pedophile and advocating marrying underage girls.

Really? Could you provide a link to this being "on record". I'd like to see how you twisted this one too.

You really don't get it, do you? The Dixie Chicks thing is apples to oranges. The right doesn't have a problem with people speaking their minds. We have a problem with people being fired for doing so. This is especially true in Phil's case. He was asked a question and answered it. For that he was "suspended indefinitely"? How does that make ANY sense in your liberal mind?

Your blather brings up another point that has yet to be discussed here. You refer to him as racist. How was anything he said "racist"???? He spoke about when HE worked with blacks in the fields. And what HE heard (or didn't hear) them say. Tell me, please, how what he said can be racist???

Please don't ignore my questions. I would appreciate answers (and a link to him being on record saying what you claim).

Yep your right the right does not have a problem with people speaking their mind as long as they agree with what they are saying.

You just ain't payin' attention are ya kid.... this whole "Phil" contrivearcy was brought on by the left, all of it.
