'Duck Dynasty' Dad Suspended Following Anti-Gay Remarks

No. You do not have a logical answer. If you did it would have already been posted.

Which is the way it should have been from the beginning!
Phil should be able to voice his opinion!
GLAAD should be able to cry and moan!
A&E should have stayed out of it!
And if you don't like what Phil represents, don't watch Duck Dynasty or buy any of their products!
 
Oh, and Jesse Jackson needs to crawl back into his hole and look for a paycheck elsewhere!

Should the same standard have been applied to Bashir and CNN? A&E is a private company. They have every right and an obligation to their investors to protect their name brand. Whether it was right or wrong is irrelevant, they do have the right.

Have there been occasions where Christian groups have called for the cancelation or protest of certain programs? Why yes Johnny there have been.

Preachers of L.A.

Million Moms are against, Macy's, Show your Joe, kmart, GLEE, Family Guy, sponsors of the show Mom. ...visit their web site for more.

Oh. They also want Cedric the Entertainer's new show Soul Man canceled.

If you read up on the American Family Association the number of shows they have boycotted and protested dwarfs that of GLAAD.

I'll await your criticism of these groups for speaking out to cancel the various shows.
 
Give it a rest Tree! I could give a rat's ass whether Bashir has a job or not, which btw, HE resigned.
Never watched or listened to him to begin with!

All the bullsh!t concerning Phil was about 2 things and 2 things only!
1. He is a white male!
2. He is a Christian!
 
Yea, and I'm sure he had no encouragement from anyone at CNN.

Nothing to do with him being white and Christian as there are many (dare I say most) white Christians on TV without any issue.

Funny thing is when the American Family Association goes after programing that they do not like the people who are coming to the defense of DD (like you) are strangely quiet. When AFA and CLeaR-TV were protesting the like of SNL, Pepsi, NYPD Blue, Disney to mention a few I bet you did not eve raise an eyebrow. And please do not dare twist what I am saying. I believe AFA, CLeaR-TV and all the rest of the groups have every right under the COTUS to protest and speak out against what ever it is they disagree with. What I am saying is that you and others on here complaining about GLAAD doing the same thing receive your ire while organizations that do the same thing to groups you disagree with get a pass.

So please spare all of us your self righteous indignation. You have made it quite clear the only rights you support are the ones you agree with. Those with beliefs opposed to yours can go pound sand.

If a show offends me, I don't look into the national guard being called out........I use my remote!
Next!
 
When I grew up you had the 3 major TV networks and a couple of local TV channels that had a shoestring budget.  Now you have grown men following a multi-million dollar family in a scripted "reality" show. Pretty soon we'll have "Duck Dynasty" printed on camo undies being sold at the local WalMart next to the "Duck Dynasty" sunglasses.
 
AMERICA is going down the drain when you have so many grown men get sphincter craps over BS like this.

"Pretty soon" is a bit closer than you thought.

Never mind. xUT beat me to it.
 
Bah! I think it is a hoot that anything that disagrees with your point of view is wrong. Of course our anti-Christian expert, Ms Tree, has no problem stereotyping Christians that suit its needs. Reality TV is garbage and it talks crap to dumbify society as a whole.
 
I find it laughable that the mindless Kardashians can do no wrong as they sell their choreographed garbage and America buys it. Let alone the whores with the morals of an alley cats of Jersey Shore. I don't have cable because it's a waste of money, time and intelligence.
 
But lets worry about what's going on on the boob tube and make it an issue to hide the failure that is Obamacare :p
 
 
I’m reminded of something Bill Maher said during the height of the Paula Deen controversy: “Do we always have to make people go away?” I think the question applies in this situation too.
Why is our go-to political strategy for beating our opponents to silence them? Why do we dismiss, rather than engage them? One of the biggest pop-culture icons of today just took center stage to “educate” us about sexuality. I see this as an opportunity to further the discussion, to challenge his limited understanding of human desire, to engage with him and his rather sizable audience — most of whom, by the way, probably share his views — and to rise above the endless sea of tweet-hate to help move our LGBT conversations to where they need to go.
G.K. Chesterton said that bigotry is “an incapacity to conceive seriously the alternative to a proposition.” If he is right — and he usually is — then I wonder if the Duck Dynasty fiasco says more about our bigotry than Phil’s.
