‘Duck Dynasty’ Star Phil Robertson Fired Following Anti-Gay Remarks
12-18-2013, 08:39 PM
Never caught the show but my question is what's the over under on how long will his punishment be.
“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson has been fired from the reality program following his controversial remarks in GQ magazine regarding homosexuality.
A+E Networks, parent company of A&E, has released the following statement to Variety:
“We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty. His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community.”

I am surprised he is not in prison yet or worse for his anti-homosexual hate speech. How dare he uphold traditional values.

Hopefully the show gets cancelled. A redneck posers favorite.

Someone obviously didn't read the original interview. Well here it is:
http://www.gq.com/entertainment/televisi...table=true
I'm not saying he should have been fired from the show, but the interview is one of the most unintentionally hilarious things I have ever read. The guy is clearly a loon. Observe:
Quote:Quote:
“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," Robertson said before paraphrasing a Bible verse. "Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”
Or perhaps this:
Quote:Quote:
"All you have to do is look at any society where there is no Jesus. I’ll give you four: Nazis, no Jesus. Look at their record. Uh, Shintos? They started this thing in Pearl Harbor. Any Jesus among them? None. Communists? None. Islamists? Zero...That’s eighty years of ideologies that have popped up where no Jesus was allowed among those four groups. Just look at the records as far as murder goes among those four groups.”
Yes, you read that correctly, he was actually railing against Shintos! Or this bit about gay men not being "logical":
Quote:Quote:
“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus...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."
Once again, this is no reason to fire a guy...but he is clearly a colossal moron and I won't lose any sleep over what happens to him.
Thanks for the lulz.

Here comes Chick-Fil-A part two. The next exciting battle in the culture war.
Will he defy the odds and give everyone the finger or will he issue a "clarification" and be redeemed?
Stay tuned...

Dude is a bible-thumping white Christian. He hates fags, Jews, blacks, Arabs. Pretty much anyone non-white(not publicly of course). I'll bet he even has a Klan hood in the closet.

He has the power. Take a cash cow show like this and its 'cast members' aka his family. All he has to do is use the power of family and convince them to quit.

Just another butthurt bunch of wusses, pissing and moaning about something some "backward southern dude" said (and probably needed subtitles to understand).
Meanwhile, tons of people are gobbling up that Duck Dynasty stuff as fast as possible, and that "backward southern dude" and his family are cashing checks.
Who are the dumb ones again?

Eccentric television character, beloved for having unusual opinions, horrifies viewers who don't actually watch the show by having unusual opinions.

What is with American culture? I did a presentation awhile ago and made the remark to my students "what if your kids turned out gay"?
An American hipster douche loser (teacher) overheard my presentation and went ape sh1t on me about how everyone
should welcome and accept a gay child and have a celebration. Infact ALL the Americans here SAVE 1 (who was in NAM) promote gay and gender equality on a reg. basis. Soooo WTF America???

I applaud him. Good for him. NOBODY questions the gay agenda being pushed on us every day. I could care less for the LGBT community. You wanna be gay, thats fine, but don't insist on us accepting and coddling you for coming out.

Badwolf most Americans don't give a fuck what you do as long as you're not hurting anyone. Its the ones with big mouths that usually have the stupidest opinions.I have no idea where you are if Americans are regularly promoting gay lifestyles. That's just creepy.

The guy lived rock and roll lifestyle in his youth hit rockbottom and found Jesus, hence his beliefs.
I would say he has had the life, a fun youth, is a patriarch and now is making bank.

This just in! Redneck ZZ Top with a show about duck calls hates 'dem queers! More at 11!
I'd be more disappointed if the guy was pro-gay.
