How about a redneck show where all the rednecks act an overtly political correct way? The sarcasm would say everything.

Since A&E is still showing the show, their outrage is pure BS.

The point everyone seem to be missing is, the show is the #1 cable program because of the Robertson clan, not because it happens to be on the A&E Channel. A&E was the accidental beneficiary of a guy whose beliefs and values they despise. It’s as if a Christian network aired soft-core porn movies.

The Robertsons should take their bat, ball, and TV show somewhere else where they will not be mocked and punished for expressing their first amendment rights. If they do not, anyone who professes to admire, trust, and beleive in them ought to take a second look.

Yes I know “it’s a business decision”, but it would also be the height of hypocrisy for them to stay on A&E now.

Nobody is outraged. Nobody is offended. The Left just wants to shut down dissenting voices from its relentless gay agenda. It's about quashing opposition, not true offendedness.

And even if they were offended, so what?

Remember when Coca Cola decided that their customers REALLY wanted a different soft drink instead of the product that made them #1?

A&E has just had their “New Coke moment” and alienated their loyal customer base who made their product #1.

To Coca Cola’s benefit, in less than 3 months, Coke Classic was back in production.

This will go down in lists of history’s most stupid business decisions. Stubborn ideology vs pragmatic business. What’s it gonna be A&E?

But his real sin was calling homosexuality a sin comparable with bestiality.


He never compared the two. What a shame Goldberg follows gay activists talking points

Every state and region has it’s own “brand” of redneck.

Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindahl and Ted Cruz come out early with supportive, non-judgmental statements about Phil’s comments. Not so with the so-called conservative media.

In this case Goldberg lays out the redneck premise probably to try to insulate himself from Phil’s conventional religious views. Virtually all of the talking heads on Fox News seem compelled to castigate Phil’s “vile” comments before they support his right to blah blah blah

Interesting comment by BOR tonight after an interview with Howard Kurtz and Bernie Goldberg...enjoy your email, you’re going to get plenty of it

Lots of speculation on these threads pretty much amounting to what freepers think the family should do.

I know bumpus about the nature of the contract they have with A&E. That will, in some fashion, determine the family’s next steps.

Would be interested in knowing the terms of their deal.

I think this comment from a reader in the LATimes puts the controversy in badly-needed perspective:
While anti-gays have been whining about A&E firing the anti-gay loser, New Mexico's State Supreme Court has established statewide marriage equality there, and in Utah, a federal judge has revoked that state's anti-gay Hate Vote and some jurisdictions there are already issuing marriage licenses to same gender couples. That makes US State #19 to establish marriage equality. Go ahead and whine about this week's first defeat to your anti-gay agenda, anti-gays, Americans have handed you two additional defeats since then.

And A&E? They have demographics studies that show them how unpoplar the fired anti-gay's lies are.

In other words, they're not just winning. They've won. And in the name of "America," they're going to wipe the rest of us out at their earliest opportunity.

I just listened to the Bill Oreilly show. Him and his buddies Howard Kurtz and Bernie Goldberg were taking turns calling Phil Robertson’s ideas “ignorant”. Bernie and Howard were both for kicking him off the show. Bernie said there was a lot of things in the Bible including what Jesus said that was untrue. These northeast elitists are no friend of ours. Let’s stick with Phil and the “Old Time Religion” that will save us all from Hell. I dread to think where these relativistic pontificators will end up..

He got a bit too detailed with his anatomical analysis. But his real sin was calling homosexuality a sin comparable with bestiality.

Wrong. His description of the gay sex act of males is what forced GLAAD to push the issue. They rely on the "We're just like you" argument to further their agenda. Anything that vividly demonstrates that their behavior is not nearly as mainstream as they have maintained, must be silenced. Phil Robertson shined a light on the black hole (yes, I said it) They wish to keep from people's minds. If a person is forced to consider the homosexual act, they will inevitably withdraw what little support there is.

******

Yet Common Core, LGBT acceptance and pedophilia is pushed by gays. Phil used real words to describe sex between a man and a woman.

Gays should read “Everybody Poops” if they don’t get what an anus is for....and it’s not for sex.

You know what’s odd ... even though Phil Robertson didn’t compare homosexuality to bestiality, they are comparable. So are all sins, because God does not rank them in order of severity, with the exception of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. God detests ALL sin in equal measure and sent His Son to die to save us from all of it.

Any sin separates us from God and it denies Christ’s mission, which was to make us holy through His perfect sacrifice.
