Speech is no longer free. It is policed and controlled to fit the narrow narratives of small minded people, from the far left to the far right.

I don't know of anyone on the right attempting to suppress free speech.

[SERKIT]

This is what happens when Christophobes, Redneckophobes, and Duckophobes get a platform.

This lifestyle bigotry is made worse because Duck Commander and its ancillary, Buck Commander, is a forty million dollar a year business. Evidently, people who look, dress, act, and live like Paul Robertson are not entitled to wealth, especially if they created it the old fashioned American way, through simple good ideas and hard work.

Who is this Paul Robertson???

[WilliamRobert]

Maybe he meant to say Pat Robertson. Yes I knew it is Phil.

[Olog-hai]

[mountn man]

What about Cliff Robertson? Oh wait, he’s dead.

[Kickass Conservative]

Phil’s evil twin.

Nobody knows who he is though because he is clean shaven.

The Bourne Redneck.

[CH3CN]

Best analysis I’ve read yet.

[mountn man]

The Robertson Identity?

[bigbob]

I think he works for “Duck Commando”...

Don’t ya just love criticism of other writers from one who can’t even get the facts right? (and is too lazy to proofread)

GQ is the same magazine that made the Boston terrorist look good and put him on its cover. I don’t know why anyone still wanting to buy this piece of trash magazine.

[Repeat Offender]

I heard he pals around with that Jim Thompson fellow.

[Leaning Right]

I don't know of anyone on the right attempting to suppress free speech.

To be fair, right after the Iraq invasion those who disagreed with Bush's action were labeled unpatriotic, or worse.

Did it rise to the level of venom we're seeing here with the Robertsons? I don't think so, but the Dixie Chicks might disagree. They lost their Lipton sponsorship after their anti-Bush comments.

[Kickass Conservative]

Shhhhh. Don’t let the Libtards in on it.

Phil is off the grid.

[Roses0508]

Bump

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

That was Rolling Stone, not GQ.

[autumnraine]

Ir so they say... ;)

[Bullish]

The same people that condemn Phil for speaking out about his Bible beliefs celebrate the evil, vile, nasty and even murderous lyrics in hip-hop and rap music.

Tells you who’s controlling them.

[SeminoleCounty]

Very good article on whole situation. This all is massive hate and bigotry from the GayKK
