'Duck Dynasty' Under Fire Following Star's Incendiary Anti-Gay Remarks
Yahoo News ^ | 12/18/13 | Elizabeth Durand Streisand

Posted on 12/18/2013 7:37:39 AM PST by cincinnati65

The stars of "Duck Dynasty" might be America's most popular TV family, but that could change very soon — because Phil Robertson has made some strong (and seriously offensive) anti-gay remarks that have sparked instant backlash.

Speaking with GQ, Robertson lamented that when "everything is blurred on what's right and what's wrong ... sin becomes fine." So just what qualifies as sinful in his book?

"Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there — bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men," he declared.

A devoted Christian said homosexuality is sin? Oh the horror!

He said nothing untrue and absolutely nothing hateful.

I do doubt Phil apologizes


He want and already understands what the future brings.

Still, he doesn’t expect his fame to last forever.

“Let’s face it, three, four, five years, we’re out of here. You know what I’m saying?
It’s a TV show. This thing ain’t gonna last forever. No way.”

Exactly — we won’t see Phil pull a Paula Deen full-on weepy meltdown on the Today Show. In fact, I wish he’s get invited on the show so he can get in their face on live TV...maybe Matt Lauer would be the one that ends up in tears.

Dang. I gotta buy me a Phil shirt and start wearing it around. The sashayers will hate it.

The second best thing about them is that they don’t give a flying flip what anybody else thinks about them.

I like Jase's comment when he was in NY about being facial profiled because he had a beard.

Now the counter-culture is hunting and preaching Jesus Christ. That’s where the social rebels are now. And the Robertsons are fighting on the front lines.

interesting observation…..so true….

I LOVE being counter-cultural and cheering on others who publicly do so as well, like the Robertsons, Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby to name a few. Particularly when the current culture is SO pathetically one-dimensional - mindless, navel-gazing lemmings headed over the cliff ... all the while thinking they are "enlightened" and "better" than those who "cling" to their God and the personal freedom and dignity He endowed us with.

I suspect ratings will go up. And I’m sure some other network would pick them up.

Another battle in the culture war. Well, sodomy will be defended—no, it will be CELEBRATED by the media.

Duck Dynasty guy will be targeted for destruction.

Geeze. I walked into Walmart last week and the store was full of Duck Dynasty stuff. It was hard to find anything else! I walked past it. This week, my son is getting a DD hat or t-shirt for Christmas. All of a sudden, I understand the "coolness" of it all. Now I understand their popularity.

... there is nothing to “inflame” anyone in that.

The flaming ones are already inflamed with abominable passions and rage; they must flame all who would extinguish their fire. Fires uncontrolled burn all in their path, only fire contained is useful.

I’m sure the fluffers have never bought a duck call. They suck on other things.

Social conservatives are tiny presence in media and Hollywood and Madison ave

And sadly.....likely a minority in our country

This ain’t the 1950s

Folks like Duck because there are so few similar options
Not because we are so large in numbers

I like the Robertsons.

I grew up 80-90 minutes east of there

.but if a cavalcade launches

A&E will not have their back...

Its a sad time to live in a decline like ours
Especially when you have kids

“Incendiary”how,exactly?”
Speaking the truth about homosexual sin always enrages the gay beasts.

I have been TV-free for the last five years. The only TV-based thing I watch is The Walking Dead, and I buy them on iTunes.
Looks like I'll have to check this show out now.


Just buy their seasons videos. Don't mess with cable.

Yep. iTunes buys coming up.
Cable’s been gone for many years now, and I don’t miss it a bit.

Another Chic-fil-a opportunity to tell the GLBSQBJUVFTI crowd to stick it, I’m thinking. I’ll certainly support the Robertsons.

"What's more, according to him, it's basically incomprehensible. "It seems to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man's anus," he explained. "That's just me. I'm just thinking, 'There's more there! She's got more to offer.' I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical."

Well? Can't argue with that!
