madcat6183 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Wait, isn't freedom of speech part of the constitution? Oh we don't really follow that anymore and haven't for a very long time, that's right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I see you Tonik Everyone is ok with people being entitled to their opinions until they disagree with them...then suddenly it's not ok. He can say whatever he feels and if you find it offensive, don't listen. People are so damn sensitive anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I do not agree with what he said but he does has the freedom to religion and freedom of speech to voice the views of his religion. A and E is a private company they can run their programming as they see fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh we don't really follow that anymore and haven't for a very long time, that's right. Freedom of speech applies to the government. I can't come here on Casper's board and say anything I want. His board, his rules. Same thing with A&E's TV channel, their channel their rules. Also consider this....if A&E was forced to let the Duck Dynasty guy say what ever he wants....doesn't that force A&E to change their message....doesn't that put restrictions on the message they want to send? If A&E wants to send the message that being gay is ok they should be allowed to ban Phil. Phil can run around all day long and say what he wants. A&E is free to fire him if they want. It has to go both ways. (woo, i got another pun IN there). Wooo, that's two...on a roll. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 He is arguably the best character in the A&Es too grossing show ever. They wouldn't fire him. It appears that free speech is only free these days if it aligns with the liberal and anti Christian agenda. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I have no problem with what or how he said it. He's a Christian and has the right to say what he wants just like the libtard's who get their dicks and pussies in a twist whenever someone says something non-PC and acceptable to their fucked up gay agenda. Fucking libtard speech nazi's - welcome to the New America. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 He's free from prosecution for what he says, but he's not immune to public backlash. If you say something that makes you unpopular and you're making a chunk of your income from advertising, advertisers are going to stop paying you to endorse their product.

AE as you stated is private and they sure as shit can and should be able to do what they want. I mean all the people firing off about him and flipping out in the public. I agree with you 100% and actually that's probably what I wanted to say, but didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie14 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 A Christian redneck says an anti-gay statement. Why the big surprise or outrage?

smashweights Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) What bugs me here is the use of the term bigotry that's being thrown around by a lot of folks. By definition, bigotry is intolerance for someone of a different belief. AKA: you must DISAGREE and be INTOLERANT. From what I've read, this dude DISAGREES but has clearly said, ""I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me," he said. "We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity." Thus there is no INTOLERANCE, at least none that we are aware of at this point. A&E, however, has disagreed with his position and not tolerated it, thus they are, by definition, bigots. Per Webster's Dictionary: "bigot: 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" (emphasis mine) I usually don't like to get involved in sociopolitical issues, but I'm getting sick of a society that sings, "TOLERANCE!" from the mountaintops then screams for the heads of anyone who disagrees with them. As far as the racially-based comments, we're just hearing one dude's experience from a different time. He said, ""I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once," he told GQ. "Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. We're going across the field. ... They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people' -- not a word! "Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues," GQ quoted Robertson as saying.So where does this response come from: "Mr. Robertson claims that, from what he saw, African Americans were happier under Jim Crow. What he didn't see were lynching and beatings of black men and women for attempting to vote or simply walking down the street," the letter states." Dude never said life was better or that we should go back to that or that Jim Crow was right, or that lynchings and beatings didn't happen, just told what the life he grew up in was like. Just like one day a decade from now, I'll say, "before gay marriage was legalized nationally, I knew gay people that were happy and had a great time and sang songs and danced" without meaning we should go back those times, or that they would be better off living back in that time. http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/19/showbiz/duck-dynasty-suspension/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Edited December 19, 2013 by smashweights 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) This isn't going to make him unpopular. Not at all. In fact, it will make him an icon. I guess we'll see... I personally never watched the show, If i wanted to watch a bunch of rednecks screw around for an hour, I'd go visit my old high school in andover. Despite Phil's strong words, however, he insists he's a Christian who doesn't condemn others — even if they are "sinners" in his mind. "We never, ever judge someone on who's going to heaven, hell. That's the Almighty's job," he told the magazine. "We just love 'em, give 'em the good news about Jesus — whether they're homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort 'em out later, you see what I'm saying?" Edited December 19, 2013 by magley64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
