How is the non-profit GLAAD able to spend its funds paying to get people fired and threatening their advertisers? Isn't this a violation of their non-profit charter?
I notice both, "GLAAD spoke with A&E representatives on Wednesday morning." and "The organization is also currently researching companies who use Robertson as a spokesperson." (source)
These doesn't seem like valid activities for a non-profit that receives charitable donations, and in fact should invalidate its non-profit charter.
GLAAD received 6 million in donations and grants in 2011 alone.

hey Mallard brained Phil Robertso! you have offended and hurt so many dear friends of mine, who DO NOT have the voice or the outreach that I do. well news flash shower-dodger, I will speak loudly and clearly for ALL of them. so, just when your desperately sub evolved ass thought the pressure was off, you are now in the crosshairs of a MaSheen style media beat down. (I'll try to keep the big words to a minimum as not to confuse you)
your statements were and are
abhorrently and
mendaciously unforgivable.
the idea that you have a job

the only 'Dynasty' you are attached to might be the

the only thing you should ever be in charge of building is a hole in the ground the exact size of your head.
perhaps your beard would fit as well if you plucked out the
army of scabies and
bull weevils sequestered deep in it's sarcophagus of dander and weasel pelts.
shame on you.
you're the only surviving

when the gators and Egrets
kick you out of their

you need to make serious amends to those you have

I'll pass on the bullfrogs, but the rest sounds good.

To be more precise, Glaad acts like a (4) but wants to receive money like a (3). Section 501©(3) organizations cannot engage in political activities, and donations are tax deductible. Section 501©(4) organizations can engage in political activities and donations to them are not tax deductible.
Glaad not only receives donations as a 501©3, but asks donors to force their employers into issuing matching donations as well.
If Glaad were to lose its 501©3 status and be forced to the more appropriate 501©4 for their non-charitable charter activities like getting people fired and shaking down advertisers of people they don't like, how much of that 6 million donated to it as a tax deduction would dry up? For starters, all those corporate matching funds would disappear.

Too much right-wing pandering. Sometimes I wonder if most on this forum would collectively support Huckabee or Santorum.
The reality is, he could have said something racist, wouldn't matter nearly as much. Which is dumb, but that's how it is.
The immediate reaction to applaud this guys anti-gay comments does come across a bit ignorant though.
How were his comments even "anti-gay"? It read to me like he didn't understand how guys could be gay, said that they wouldn't inherit the kingdom of god but he would never personally disrespect a gay person.
Anti-gay and redneck would have been "I ain't sellin no duck calls to any faggots"
To me, there is a fine line. He is being persecuted because he's 'gay neutral' not for it, but not crusading against it.
Imagine that, if you were declared 'anti-gay' because you didn't go to the pride parade in Toronto or chose not to put a rainbow flag up at your house.

I believe in freedom of speech, but people need to accept consequences as a result of their decision making too. Just like Twitter has the right to hire whoever they want for upper tier positions, A&E has the right to structure a company based on how they want to be portrayed in public.
Do I agree with how A&E went about this? Not really. I think they should've set the guy aside and talked to him about things before making this impulsive decision.

'Duck Dynasty' Star Phil Robertson Claims Black People Were 'Happy' Pre-Civil Rights

I get how some want to split hairs on his comments regarding homosexuality, but here the man illustrates how truly ignorant he is.
Quote:Quote:
"I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person," Robertson is quoted in GQ. "Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash. We’re going across the field.... They’re singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!... Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."

You're joking right? I hope you're not one of those animal rights activists.
Human life and animal life are not the same thing. We eat animals for food.
There's nothing immoral about that. Animals are on a lower level of the food chain.
We don't eat humans for food.

I'm not an activist but most people like the Robertsons and their customers hunt for fun in their honky tonk mentality, not because they have a NEED to hunt.
It's like those yuppies who are into organic/local/humane food. It's not due to necessity but rather because it's attractive to them.

Actually I know German hunters who've been hired to kill warthogs in Berlin who are tearing up the town, so many times its not just a 'hunt to eat' thing either. I think this is true in the US with deer (who are breeding like crazy and tend to tear up a lot of gardens/agricultural land esp in the Northeast).
