end of the dynasty?

- Start date
The fact that him an a&e are both exercising their rights shows the US is headed in a bad direction? How does this situation even reflect on the country's direction at all?

Because you can't say anything anymore without some special interests group getting offended.
We our losing our rights slowly but surely.
No right has been infringed upon in this situation. He is free to say what he wants, and a&e is free to boot him because of it. Who is losing their rights? Should the "special interests" aka homsexuals not be allowed to voice their opinion on what he said?
Free speech doesn't mean you get to say whatever, whenever with no consequences. You claim you can't say anything without people getting offended, and then say we're losing our rights. Are the offended not allowed to speak their mind, just as this man has done? You make no sense..

that was not a metaphor, i paraphrased your post.
you said..
- they should be relegated to the fringes.
to which I paraphrased...
- you are ready to "relegate" ol phil to the edges of society
Nothing unflattering there.
hey bombur what he said ^^
Of course they should but my point is that the majority of america is too busy staring @ the lights and sirens and don't notice that our rights and wealth are slowly being stripped away by lawsuits and corporate greed.

When you're in a position like Phil Robertson, interviews aren't the best time to exercise your right to free speech. He can beleive whatever the fuck he wants and shares his close minded POV with millions of people, but you've gotta look at it from a business perspective... for him, the show, and A&E. Food Network dropped Paula like a hot potato as soon as she opened her mouth.... duh.. it was the only way to avoid any repercussions she might've caused. I have NO problem with what he said... I respect his opinion as much as the next guy... but I don't see why the media/network response is so shocking to the family.

It's just like the Paula Dean statement.
You say the wrong thing (nigger or homo) and liberals go crazy.
These people will lose millions of dollars expressing their freedom of speech.
Television is controlled by liberals telling you how to think and feel.
They can cut down Jesus and no one gives a fuck anymore.
What homo group responded to Phil's comment?
What gay group responded to Paula Dean's comment?
None

paula dean didn't have shit on DD. I think I read somewhere that dd grossed something like 450 million last year for a&e.
Like someone else said...another network will pick it up.

well, there's this....
GLAAD rep Wilson Cruz responded to Robertson's remarks with a statement:
"Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe. He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans -- and Americans -- who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples.
"Phil's decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families.

I found this as A&E's rebuttal.
And I'm wondering if it has nothing to due with A&E, why bother suspending the man?
A&E should have a show about these Champions of the LGBT community.
"Duck Dynasty" dad Phil Robertson has been suspended indefinitely by the A&E Network following his recent comments on homosexuality, the network announced Wednesday night.
"We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series 'Duck Dynasty'," the network said in a statement.
"His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely."
Earlier Wednesday, Roberston had responded to critics who had slammed him forvery graphic statements he made about his preference for heterosexual sex over homosexual sex.
“I myself am a product of the 60s; I centered my life around sex, drugs and rock and roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior,” he said in a statement sent to FOX411.
“My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together.
"However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”

More left twisted truth.
Read the whole article , the man lived a life and doesnt have a rcist bone in his body, he believes ' we where all created by the almighty'.
Just ridiculous

whether A&E removed him from the show or not is irrelevant to my point that people cater to bigotry.
has sarah palin even tweeted about this yet? i'm not gonna google it, but i bet she has.
remember when there was a controversy over chic-fil-A? something about how their owner donated to an anti-gay hate group that lobbied congress to NOT condemn a 'kill the gays' bill in uganda.
who would lobby against condemning such an act? who would come out and show public support for such bigotry?
his words are there for all to see, you posted them.
he put gays in the same class as those who swindle, are drunkards, and fuck animals.
i think the act of two females pleasuring each other orally is a beautiful thing, as beautiful as when i put my erect penis between my wife's ample breasts and thrust until i ejaculate all over her body.
no one should face shame for their sexual proclivities in the privacy of their own homes.
in what respect?
i feel there is creeping fascism in this nation. that's not good.
but equal rights for gays is headed in the right direction. not only with respect to their right to marry like the rest of us enjoy, but also with respect to workplace protections. you can still be fired for being gay all over the place, and likening gays to drunken goat fucking horse thieves is not exactly cool with that in mind.
but i remain positive that this is still the best nation on earth to be born into, and will be for as long as i can tell.

I believe the man has genuinely good intent

so how exactly is comparing beautiful lesbian lovemaking to swindling and animal fucking not disrespectful?
is he on a mission to go forth and spread the word of Christ, or is he distorting things in a bigoted manner and a hateful way?
because when i think of two lesbians passionately lapping at each other's beautiful vaginas, i do not think of drunk, swindling animal fuckers.
i'm sorry, i just don't.
