Duck Dynasty Scandalz

Well, freedom of speech and discrimination obviously have a blurry line between them. On one hand, it's okay to say certain things within the realm of freedom, such as "I hate Ford trucks" or "This sandwich is great" or "I advocate the Nova BullMoose Party". However, when it becomes a point of discrimination against a minority group or another person, rules become involved.

To those who replied above who disagree with his indefinite leave from the show: would you feel any differently if he had spouted off his definition of sin as including say, certain ethnic groups, religions, or nationalities?

I personally don't think he should have been suspended. I would still feel the same way no matter the topic. He's not trying to start a revaluation and he wasn't trying to rally people behind him. He answered a question he was asked during an interview. While I may not fully agree with him and nor do I care for the show in question, he has the right to say what he said. Especially since he was actually being questioned about it. Like I always say the truth hurts so if you don't want the answer to a question then you shouldn't ask it. Although, I can agree A&E is in there right to suspend him because it is there show. However everyone should have known...I mean he's a southern christian. Chances are they already suspected his answer before they asked.

Please refrain from implying that I am only okay with it because he attacked homosexuals, lol.

So of course facebook is going crazy. I saw a post today that said, "It's time for people to tolerate Christians, too."
Made me laugh so hard I almost peed my pants.

I just heard that Walmart is out of Duck Dynasty stuff.

That stupid show's days are numbered. Thank the Lord, because between DD and Honey Boo Boo, I was beginning to think we were going to end up like Idiocracy. At least Phil Robertson can now be the poster boy of why being a redneck is pathetic rather than respectable.

Also, upon first hearing this, my immediate thoughts were "Phil Robertson? Is he related to that other dumbass zealot racist scumbag, Pat Robertson?"

I don't think so, because money is more powerful then ideas. Oh, and I do agree that it is a stupid show.

It's really not lol I think that there are other networks looking to pick it up.

Phil Robertson isn't a redneck.

He'd have to be poor to be a redneck.

Tell that to the Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

Too much hypocrisy?

I know rednecks who have yachts and multiple houses.

I wish people could see how really screwed we really are.

The family is contemplating leaving the network to stick with their patriarch

And I don't see another network picking up DD just so they can get boycotted by the NAACP and GLAAD. It's just not logical 🙂

And LOL at these Christian morons:
The unrelenting 'Gay Mafia' has bullied A&E into suspending 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson

I guess they just forgot all about the racist comments 😆

They have a dozen other networks ready to pick them up, sad

Wow. That is just.....beyond pathetic. There seriously aren't words to describe the level of disgust I am feeling right now for the TV industry that they would want these ignorant pieces of garbage back on the air. Find me a list of these networks, so I can start boycotting ALL of them.

LoL @ "the male prostitutes" comment

What's so hard to understand about greed? This family's antics seem to be popular to a segment of Americans and I hate to blanket, but I'm guessing the vast majority of the people who watch this kind of show, wouldn't mind the star spouting homophobic like comments.

If some other network picks them up, they can only expect a rise (probably temporary) in viewers due to the controversy already created.

I don't give a phuck what's popular. Ignorance should never be peddled. I understand it's greed, but that doesn't make it any less disgusting or pathetic.

Really don't see a difference between a network airing some ZZ Top looking fool spouting on how gays make baby Jesus cry so they won't inherit the "Kingdom of Heaven" and any given pastor on TV proselytizing and saying like comments.

To clarify my previous post: redneck is not a socio-economic class, it's more of a worldview.

It would be easy to say that a redneck is a working class southerner with a low level of education, socially and fiscally conservative politics, and an appreciation for the outdoors (hunting, fishing, muddin'😉, but there are people I'd call rednecks any day of the week who (as noted in the previous post) are much more wealthy than my family, who vote democrat, who come from Northern or Western states (Eastern Washington is apparently filled with rednecks)--in fact the one unifying trait of being a redneck is a passion for outdoorsing and an identification with a more homey, simple, small-town or even bucolic way of life.

With that in mind, the cast of Duck Dynasty certainly qualifies.

TBF, those discriminatory religious figures (like the similarly named Pat Retardson) should be booted off TV as well. It's.....terrifying how Freedom of Religion is essentially Freedom to be Ignorant. It's like "Ignorance Is Strength" from 1984, only worse.
