After Phil Robertson, the patriarch of "Duck Dynasty," made controversial remarks about homosexuality that were published in GQ magazine, former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin spoke out in his defense.

However, when asked by Fox News host Greta Van Susteren if Robertson's remarks were offensive and whether or not she had any objection as to how he worded his comments, Palin said she didn't know what Robertson had actually said, Politico reports.

“I haven’t read the article. I don’t know exactly how he said it,” Palin explained on Fox News’s “On the Record With Greta Van Susteren" on Monday.

On December 18, shortly after the "Duck Dynasty" controversy began, Palin took to Facebook where she wrote, "Free speech is an endangered species. Those 'intolerants' hatin and taking on the Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing his personal opinion are taking on all of us."

Governor Palin was specifically addressing the attacks on Phil by the homos and their intolerance, she didn't have to read what he said.

Another non-story designed to smear her.

By that line of reasoning, any liberal who criticizes Phil Robertson cannot do so until he or she has read the entire Bible.

I guess the media is saying its reporting is unreliable.

Odd, I feel no remorse over either Palin’s or Phil’s
remarks.

I guess it’s not like Congresscritters and Obastardcare? This guy didn’t seem to care they didn’t.

LOL! Well there goes her credibility. Snarky lefties didn’t read the whole thing either but didn’t hesitate to vilify and condemn him to burning in a real hot place cause he merely stated what he believes. So tolerant they are. I don’t tolerate intolerance. ;>)

Merry Christmas and “Happy happy happy” New Year.

How much of the GQ article did GLAAD actually read before launching the nukes?

It is meaningless.

All of the people attacking Phil have no read the entire interview either.

I watched that segment. She said she did not read the entire article when questioned about the vagina/anus comment. It seemed obvious to me she used the word “entire” to avoid being drawn into commenting on that.she was avoiding a trap.

Well Mikey. I know that you and the Politico turds probably find this “outrageous.” However, it isn’t as bad as your Nazi masters PASSING THE FLIPPIN’ OBAMASCAM BILL WITHOUT ANYBODY READING IT FIRST! Grow up Mikey!

Liberals apparently don’t believe in freedom of speech and freedom of worship. Sarah does.

I am sure most haven’t read the whole article. So what? We all were commenting on the excerpts we did hear.

If Democrats don’t read bills before enacting them into law, why do conservative commentators have to read articles?

“I think men were meant to be with women” is now the definition of offensive and controversial.

Another strawman against Palin.

I haven’t read the interview either. The magazine isn’t out yet. But I read what the gays got all upset about and that’s all anyone needs to know.
