The Gay Thought Police Lose One

A&E has caved and Phil Robertson will remain on Duck Dynasty:

As a global media content company, A+E Networks’ core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect. We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people’s home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principals.

That is why we reacted so quickly and strongly to a recent interview with Phil Robertson. While Phil’s comments made in the interview reflect his personal views based on his own beliefs, and his own personal journey, he and his family have publicly stated they regret the “coarse language” he used and the mis-interpretation of his core beliefs based only on the article. He also made it clear he would “never incite or encourage hate.” We at A+E Networks expressed our disappointment with his statements in the article, and reiterate that they are not views we hold.

When did Phil Robertson ever say he regreted the "course language" he supposedly used and when did he ever say his core beliefs were "misinterpreted". The answer: NEVER. The A&E statement contains lies.

No, coarse language would have been his using the word “a$$holes” in place of anuses (or should that be ani?).

I just read another article about Chick-fil-A. The average year-over-year sales increased 4.9% for the largest 500 companies, while Chick-fil-A saw 14.1%. The homosexuals lost two wars.

A&E might choke on all the crow they have had to eat to keep their golden duck.

1. Diversity is a two-way street, when demanded and defended as such.

2. We must refuse to “celebrate” a disability which leads to deviant, unnatural behavior.

This is going to get really interesting.

The gay community doesn’t take defeat lying down, so to speak.

It’s unlikely that they will let this rest and choose another battle. If they do, it will hurt them, among their followers, more than if they continue to fight.

They are boxed into a corner.

Next up will be their influence in our public schools.

There will be dozens and dozens of K-12 kids that will be reprimanded or disciplined in some way for wearing “Duck Dynasty” T-shirts etc, when they return to school.

Mark my words.

GLAAD is basically funded by the NEA.

You're dead on the money, managusta; most unfortunately, the Republican party is the party of "Me, too! Me, too! Me, too!"

A&E’s statement is garbage.
Until they publicly apologize, there is no A&E in my home.

Reinstating Phil is not an apology or an admission of wrongdoing

Yeah, seems like their motto should be “Now with 1.2% less tyranny!”, with a big smile and the big tooth sparkle, 50’s commercial style.

I agree. Calling for a truce and claiming “no harm no foul” is BS. Robertson should demand a meaningful apology, completely devoid of any cheap shots at him or his beliefs, before returning.

Is what you are saying a matter of "messaging" ?

"I'm for clean water", and by default, their opponent is against it ?

And their opponent is put on the defensive?

So, if Republicans say, "I'm for the privacy of individuals" as opposed to saying "I'm against the NSA's spying", they will attract more voters ?

To be clear, A & E backed down.

GLAAD etc, hasn’t.
