The homophobic thread :>

[Crock Hunter]

it's all old homofool responds to. Like a dog whistle.

Yea.. I noticed that .. . but surely that'll disappear once he accepts his homosexuality.. ..

[Crock Hunter]

Go back and read what the Head fagmasters said in their reply to Robertson's comments and then answer your question yourself. Seems to me that only fags have rights, others speaking against them don't.

Pay attention nitwit... I don't give a damn what was said.. I asked you if you believed that there should be no consequences for one's comments or actions.. .

Look.. if you're just too stupid to understand or answer the question.. just say so.. . it's not possible for me to think any less of you..

As far as me being a Christian, that's a laugh.

I see.. so you're still "in the closet" on that too.. ..

Where were all these "free speech" defenders when Martin Bashear got dumped from MSNBC for saying (paraphrased) that somebody should shit in Sarah Palin's mouth? What - Sarah didn't defend his right to be offensive and keep his job? She defended Phil. No Bobby Jindal decrying the time when networks respected "free speech"? Bobby defended Phil. And don't even try to claim that Phil was in GQ as a totally private citizen not representing Duck Dynasty. He was offensive and not representative of how his employer wants to be seen. Bashear was offensive and not representative of how his employer wants to be seen. Sarah and Bobby (among others) defend Phil, but not Bashear. Wonder why that is... unless they agree with Phil. Oh yeah.

The short answer is that if not for hypocrisy TeaBaggers could not form sentences.. .

'twould appear that A&E/Hearst/Disney-ABC do not have the right to hire and fire as they see fit, for whatever reason, or none at all. At least in the minds of some teatrash, who think such rules are all hunky-dory down here in non-union land.

Boat Boy, A&E has every right to fire Phil Robertson. Phil Robertson has every right to share his beliefs. His fans also every right to speak out against the actions by A&E. It is called the First Amendment. No charge for the civics lesson.

LMAO... supper?? cheesus dude.. how the hell are you gonna charge for something that was agreed upon hours ago.. .

See.. the thing is you and the other simpletons over on that CPF don't think there should be consequences for the crap people say.. . well.. what far-right nitwits say anyway .. . you people had your panties in a wad for weeks after the Dixie Chicks incident and now you wanna play victim when one of your fellow "haters" exposes himself.. ... ..

It's really hard to tell if your hypocrisy is greater than your stupidity .. .. Run back to Solar's porch little bitch.. .

Are you some sorta stupid? Homer is the one making the claim that not everyone has a right to free speech.

Robertson is self described "white trash" and will never change his views on any matter. Perhaps on his death bed, if he ever in his life did someone wrong, he may regret it and think of it. Otherwise, he remains white trash. Like you.

[O Really]

What I don't understand is why these guys don't just pass on a question they know or should know is not in their best interest. If you're an entertainer on a "reality" show and somebody asks you what you think of same-sex marriage, you say "I'm really in love with my wife, and I don't care to comment on what anybody else does." You don't poke the bear in the eye when you work for the people who own the network that presented "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" more than ten years ago. I don't care, nor am I surprised that Phil is homophobic. But what on earth is he thinking that the comments he made would not have consequences from the network he represents?

Being "white trash" is voluntary. You can be white, poor, uneducated, and disadvantaged, and still not be "trash." A person with a successful business and a personal net worth exceeding 20 million who describes himself as "white trash" is playing a role. In this case, he's playing the wrong role for 2013.

Duck Dynasty is the most popular reality show on cable. The other Ducks say they won't do the show without Phil. Phil got them in this mess to start with. It will be interesting to see if A&E goes for the money or the principle. I'm betting on the money, but I hope I lose.

[O Really]

A lot of times, people on "reality" shows lose the ability to tell the difference in the "reality" and the "show". "Snooki" is not really the same person as "Nicole" and the "Hatfields and McCoys White Lightning" aren't exactly the MBA's and insurance agency owning people that they are IRL. Phil forgot he was a reality TV star, and thought he was a private citizen. Opps. Why would GQ interview some private citizen "white trash" from Boondock, LA?

I think the other Ducks are using the wrong strategy, as there are likely contractual obligations and financial penalties if they refuse to continue the show. What they should do (from a business standpoint) is come out in support of Phil's statements and make their own similar statements, therefore daring A&E to fire all of them. Depending upon how their contract reads, they might be free to go elsewhere with their show. (I watched a total of 3 episodes to see what all the hoopla was about, and got bored pretty fast-but to each his own, I guess).

Interesting viewpoint from a gay

The hubris that always follows surrender to contemporary Romanized pseudo-Christian dogma? .. .. . Just a guess..

Why shouldn't there be accountability in the form of negative PR? .

You mean "Christian Persecution" ????

Someone should charge you for your stupidity in failing to read all related comments, including mine, but most specifically, those of your wingnut-in-arms, ol' homofool. He is the idiot I referred to- him and all the like-minded RW shitburgers who have cried "Persecution!" and "Freedom of Speech!" as if Robertson has not been allowed that particular freedom. I'll ask you directly, if you have the sack to come back and answer: Do A&E/Hearst/Disney-ABC have the right to hire and fire as they see fit? And how is that any abridgement of Robertson's FoS? Surely, one of you white trash constitutional scholars over at The Dew Drop Inn CPF can answer that objectively, hmm? (/s) Freedom of Speech does not guarantee freedom from reaction, or even over-reaction, but that is a rather complicated issue and I don't know of you titans of thought over there are up to that kind of, well, thought.

Personally, it seems to me that the system is working okay. Robertson had his little constitutionally-protected backwood, redneck, fundicongelical say, and A&E had their constitutionally-protected knee-jerk reaction. If that's twisted some knickers, tough-fuckin-shit. I think A&E is struggling with a monumental over-reaction and failure to understand their audience, but it is not my problem and I don't give a shit either way. Like 99.74% of "reality" TV, it is not only carefully contrived and fully scripted, but designed to appeal to precisely the sort of low-order of intelligence that makes up the redneck, NASCAR, Baptist, Walmart demographic that such shows and their producers are trolling for to begin with. It is either a disastrous misfire by A&E, or a fully coordinated stroke of marketing genius. But, again, I don't give a shit.

The redneck Robertsons have their full right to Freedom of Speech. A&E/Hearst/Disney-ABC corporate nazis have their full right to run their shows as they see fit.

For the moment, 18!

Queer Lovers of America everywhere including Vredeland are masturbating each other in a delirious frenzy. baby,

[homerfobe]

We've merely responded to homerfobe's claims that Phil Robertson's free speech rights are being violated
Despite the fact he spoke out in a different venue other than in his place of employment, and he was fired for his expression of opinion,
his free speech rights weren't violated. Got it. If he had spoken out about any one specific in the political machine, that would have been overlooked, but no, he only mentioned queers and blacks. Especially the fags is what got the faggots' and liberals' undies in the shit.
No charge for the comprehension lesson.
