Duck Dynasty?

[LordBrownTrout]

GLAAD brought this upon themselves.

 

[jknowgood]

And how are they doing that, exactly?

I mean, i know that you have the occassional preacher who wakes up next to boy hooker and a pile of Crystal meth, but that's really not the gays fault.

Well i never really cared about the peverse lifestyle. Knew it is a sin against God, but it was their lives. Now people like yourself are demanding everyone to accept them no matter what. Even obama are sending some gay atheletes to represent the united states.

Awesome.

Guy, here's the thing. You don't have a right to be a bigot.

Lol, you don't get it at all. I said i don't think the gay lifestyle in my faith is right, but it's their life. Just don't go out of your way to show or tell me. My statement is no more bigotted than you calling others hillbilly's or red necks.

 

[blackhawk]

I hope the family dumps A&E they would have no problem finding a new network.

Do you know I think he DOES have to right to be a bigot. Just as long as someone does not ACT in a way to damage someone else they have the right to be as bigoted as thy wish.

And, f course, we have a real problem of deciding what bigotry is. For example some people consider my loathing of Islam as bigotry whereas it is actually just simple common sense.

There is bigotry on both sides of this argument. Govt can not punish one for being a bigot.

Duck Dynasty isn't the only television program they have. They also have a show on the outdoor channel.

They picked a fight with the wrong clan. A&E had just had it with all that God stuff, and used GQ to put an end to it. It backfired.

The family said:

‘It is our belief that they knew what was going to happen and then used the situation to exercise control over Phil.
‘It is our understanding that when the TV executives came up with the concept for the show they wanted it to be a case of people laughing at a bunch of backward rednecks.
‘But when it didn’t turn out like that and people actually started identifying with the way the family behaved and were laughing with them, not at them, they became uncomfortable. It did not sit will with the New York TV types.

Notice Phil Robertson didn't make the rounds apologizing. He didn't do the expected Paula Deen thing.

The Robertsons simply cannot be hurt by the likes of GLAAD! They are very wealthy, do not have a lavish lifestyle and there is only one of the product they sell and they have it. It's not like if someone wants a duck call they can get another kind. They have acres of land in the Louisiana backwoods. Maybe the gays will mince out there for a protest. Between the gators, snakes and hunting accidents one or two might get back.

There are plenty of other duck call makers. But I'd be willing to bet Duck Commander sets record sales this year. I'd go out and buy one even if I didnt hunt.

 

[J.E.D]

Some guy from a "reality" show said some stupid shit during an interview as a representative of the A&E network; so, A&E suspended him.

Cue drama.

Of course Palin and Fox had to pipe in calling his suspension an attack on free speech and freedom of religion.

But where were they when the Dixie Chicks practiced their right to free speech when they criticized the invasion of Iraq back in 2003? I don't recall Fox spending hours defending THEIR right to free speech after the group was boycotted and lost sponsorships and deals over their comments.

How about a more recent example?

After Bashir resigned over his comments about Palin, she went on Fox and said, "Those with that platform, with a microphone, a camera in their face, they have to have some more responsibility taken".

Shouldn't she have given that same advice to Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty? After all, he has a platform, a microphone, a camera in his face. Millions of people watch his show. He likely insulted some of them with his remarks. Shouldn't he be held to the same standards by the right-wing media as Bashir was? Bashir was punished. Why is it wrong to punish Phil?

From the same link:

The organization is also currently researching companies who use Robertson as a spokesperson.

“Silence is agreement in this case,” he said. “With such egregious anti-gay and racist comments, those companies that choose to be affiliated with this family need to speak out.”

Pathetic. GLAAD is now using the same crap tactics that Jesse Jackasson and Al Sharpie use.

That is the kind if fascism Paglia was trying to warn people about.

"Peace is the absence of opposition to socialism"....in other words, keep your opponents silenced. This was the way of Marxism, and it is the same for progressives today.

Sounds about right.

 

[OODA_Loop]

I wish my parents never instilled in me "don't use poor actions of others to justify your actions."

Woulda been easier that way.

 

[Destroyer2]

It's because their big imaginary friend in the sky "justifies" their bigotry.

There might be other duck call makers but there is only one that exactly reproduces the call of a duck and they have it. If anyone in the world wants a duck call that makes that sound, they have to buy a Duck Commander.

I've got several. Bought before they became famous.

This might well be GLAAD's problem. They think they are dealing with Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan and have corporate sponsors that they can pressure. They aren't. The Robertsons only promote their own products. Looking for additional companies who use Robertson as a spokesperson is one of the stupidest things GLAAD could say. It exhibits a profound ignorance.

This is a good dialogue as far lefties and far righties explore the boundaries of business relationships and religious expression.

...................................

This is not about Duck Dynasty for me. I tried to watch twice and couldn't get through more than 10 or 15 minutes.

It is about Political Correctness run amuck.

You are entitled to your own opinion...and to express it as part of the liberty of discussion which is supposed to be part of the foundations of this country....BUT only if it is an opinion shared by Liberals.

They are all about Control...and it shows more and more every day.

The so-called political correctness in incidents like this is coming from the Right, not the Left.

The attacks from the right are on anyone who feels they have the right to find this guy's opinions offensive.
