'Duck Dynasty' Under Fire Following Star's Incendiary Anti-Gay Remarks

[PredFan]

We shot that one down hours ago. Nice try. It's got problems. Lots of 'em.

You think it got shot down, you just can't explain liberal hypocrisy. Nice try.

Oh no, I know I shot it down. Would you like to get embarrassed again?

Roll tape....

The word is "gays" as in "more than one". I'm assuming that the one that was beheaded is not the one that was burned alive.

In any case Ron Burgundy's blanket "liberals" doesn't apply to either one. And to the extent that the Iranian side does exist it's yet another warning sign of what theocrazy produces. I don't know about Iran but the Inquisition burned a lot of people alive. And they didn't even have to be gay.

How's the labelmaker holding up? It's been getting a lot of use today....

Fucking hypocrite.

Different argument from what I posted but you didn't shoot this one down either.

 

[Papageorgio]

you mean the imaginary one?

If that is your opinion and you and everyone else is entitled to their own opinions.

so you're not disagreeing it's imaginary then?

What I think is not the issue, the issue whether one has a right to an opinion and you and I have a right to express or not. When you work in align profile job and the company you work for has no balls, you can expect to get fired.

Here is what is going to happen:

The next season of the show is already in the can. It was finished before this happened. A&E will run it. They will not start shooting the next season until 4-5 months from now. Before that time, A&E will make some sort of announcement that they are "satisfied" that he has been punished enough and then they will resume the show on schedule.

Dont doubt me.

At which time the family should tell them they're not going to shoot a show no more

Or like the Bounty Hunter, they will go to another network.

None of those were your posts dood.

And your last post, I agree.

And nothing. Robertson is getting crucified for his alleged homophobia.

Maher gets a free pass for his.

It doesn't matter what is said. All that matters is who's saying it.

Getting fired is a "pass"? Did you read my post?

Again... morals clause. Standard procedure when you sign up to be a "reality" show actor.

And again the standard morals clause doesnt get invoked because someone advocates being moral.

Or are you seriously suggesting quoting the Bible is immoral.

What exactly are you doing here --- posting just to see your name on the internets? Is that it?

How many times do we have to post this before you actually read it?
THIS is what "morals clause" means:

A typical "morals clause":

>> If at any time while Artist is rendering or obligated to render on-camera services for the program hereunder, Artist is involved in any situation or occurrence which subjects Artist to public scandal, disrepute, widespread contempt, public ridicule, [or which is widely deemed by members of the general public, to embarrass, offend, insult or denigrate individuals or groups,] or that will tend to shock, insult or offend the community or public morals or decency or prejudice the Producer in general, then Producer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to take any action it deems appropriate, including but not limited to terminating the production of the program. <<

Or here's a whole similar contract to what the Duckers would have signed. See paragraph 13 on page 15. See also section 8(b) and throughout, which makes it clear the Artist signs away all aspects of their "image", including who else they can(not) work for and what they can't do as long as they represent the illusion the Producer hires them for.

That sample contract is for a similar TV show, "Basketball Wives".

READ IT this time and stop playing stupid.

a&e has plenty of balls they chose not to support a single Ideology...for an entertainment company to do that over making money takes some brass ones.
besides he got to voice his opinion, now he must deal with the consequences .

No they don't, MSNBC didn't either. They should keep them and let the people decide. ABC Disney plays it safe. I respect their right to fire, but I think the firing Maher, Imus, Bashir, Dog and now this guy, are bad decisions and is gutless, but that is just my opinion and your opinion is different. Fine by me.

I'd be really surprised if A&E is that stupid.

But you used them to back up your response to me.

Watch this. I dare you to watch it. Then maybe some will get what I have been trying to say, and why so many people back Phil up.

Propaganda is an amazing form of manipulation.

Maybe we should try counterpropaganda:

1. There are at least 3 known groups, who claim to be victims. Try vetting some of these "reporters" of this interview, and find out their possible motives. Does he/she have a personal interest in the plight of the victims, or does the fear of being "laid off" motivate sensational journalism? It's a tough economy, and people are desperate.
2. If we allow things like this to divide us, we will not survive as a nation.
3. Who do you (any of you) think these left-wing, and right-wing people are? I'm curious about the subjectivity and consistency of the definition (not out of a dictionary) of a liberal or conservative.

Namaste

Sounds like the network is taking a lot more heat than robertson

 

[Iceman]

Um yeah, like you were doing in the Nelson Mandela threads.

Was he calling Mandela a socialist who hated the USA? Because thats truth. Or was he saying that he was messiah like? Because thats not the truth.

Exactly. If he believed Mendela anything contrary to your assertion, he is automatically wrong. Really? That statement epitomizes everything I pointed out about political parties.

Now, what did Mandela do that made him a Communist/Socialist? Katz never could answer that question, nor could bigreb or deltex. What about his policies made him anything of the sort? Is he a messiah? No, he is a man. Did he fight for the cause of freedom and equality? Yes he did. Regardless of what you think, he was a liberator, a freedom fighter.

He was a confirmed member of the South African Communist Party.

If anyone needed proof they should have been satisfied when Comrade Obama rushed to the celebration.

I see what you're saying now. Had to search back.

That's because the image you attached a ways back had already been linked even earlier by somebody else (same image), so we took it apart then.

What is it with conservatives and their comprehensive ignorance of fundamental Constitutional principles.

This is not a ‘free speech’ issue; private citizens advocating for a boycott of a given private entity absent government involvement in no way ‘violates’ free speech. Only government can place restrictions on speech where appropriate and in accordance with First Amendment jurisprudence.

I disagree. It is a Free Speech issue. It's NOT a First Amendment issue.

incorrect! Roberson was not prevented from speaking his mind, G.Q. was not forced to edit, redact. or in any way change the interview..this nontroversy will help sell more issues...
it's been said before seems it needs to be said again, free speech has consequences and responsibilities....

If GLAAD had not launched a jihad by announcing they were "researching" Robertson's activities to contact all who have sponsored him, you'd have a point. However, they did, so you're wrong.

It is interesting how liberals are now free market libertarians when it comes to allowing a corporation to fire or suspend it's workers for stating their religious/moral or political views.

So I will pose a scenario to them. Let's say there was an employee for a major corporation, like Dow Chemical. This individual happened to be an Atheist. He goes on facebook(outside his work environment mind you), and criticizes Christmas, saying God is not real and Jesus is a myth. Dow Chemical finds out and fires him. Are you saying Dow Chemical has the right to fire someone for criticizing a religion?
