Freedom of Religious Opinion? Not If You're Phil Robertson

Why must you or anyone else feel the need to derail my thread? Both of you can it.



Stop crying, no one is "derailing" your thread. :lol:


Shhh! He will put us on ignore for disagreeing with him. He hates view points that don't match his.

It happens when people can't refute the facts. Notice how he ignores Katzndogs bringing the race thing into the threat and then tries to chastise my for responding to it and accusing me of derailing the thread! What a JOKE! :lol:
 
Because he threatened to take his show to another network if he wasn't allowed to mention Jesus or pray in his own show. They relented. Why didn't he sue them for infringing on his religious rights?



You have nothing, Luissa.


Not according to Phil Robertson and others on the show. A&E never said anything to him about him praying.

"Phil's Robertson's son, Alan, also said:
The rumor that A&E told the Robertsons to tone down guns and prayer is not true. We continue to partner with A&E to make a great TV show that reflects our family's values."

You refute facts by citing Civil Rights era material? Say what now?

Duck Dynasty Star: 'They Told Us To Stop Praying To Jesus So It Wouldn't Offend Muslims' | Independent Journal Review

You know that was debunked several times here, right?
 
I know some of you watch Duck Dynasty and probably heard that Phil Robertson was suspended by A&E for his opinion on homosexuality. He had the gall to quote 1 Corinthians 6:9 and express himself openly about his opposition to gay marriage. Groups like GLAAD came out in support of the suspension. Don't you find it odd that people like Martin Bashir get a pass for their intolerance toward conservative women, but people like Phil Robertson are being targeted for their beliefs?

Should TV Networks silence religious speech for the political sensibilities of others? As most of you were aware, Chick-Fil-A came under similar scrutiny by gay rights organizations for its views on homosexuality last year. The response from the public was overwhelming, as the restaurant experienced booming profits from the ordeal. Suffice it to say, ratings for the show may experience similar results.

Should Phil Robertson be suspended for his comments in GQ? Or should he be allowed to express himself as he is allowed to by the the First Amendment? My personal opinion here is that no TV network should be allowed to censor a man for expressing his religious beliefs.

There have been many instances of people or businesses being targeted for their religious beliefs, all for being "intolerant." Isn't it strange that you can be allowed to be homosexual, but not a person of faith? The real intolerance here, is of those who cannot accept that others aren't forced to tolerate their way of life or their practices. If you are any freedom loving American; Democrat, Republican or Libertarian, you should be disturbed by this recent turn of events.

I'm already down as supporting his right to say whatever the heck he wants. But it's not as simple as that. Absent employment, you can and should be free to express even unpopular opinions (looks around for National Socialist...) BUT, if employed, your employer has every right to can your butt if you say something detrimental to business.

Because some of the things that Robertson said was about civil rights era blacks....you knew that, right?
 
Go get your blankie, then reply to lies you posted.

What lies did I post exactly? Care to name them? Or are you talking out of your ass?


That A&E had a problem with praying and their religion.
The family has even made statements saying they didn't. Which kind of blows your whole argument out of the water.
See my post i just posted again, since you conveniently missed it the first time.

And yet they still hired him. Go figure. They could have let him go at any time. But somehow all it took was a random interview with a magazine to get him fired. You conveniently miss facts that don't fit with your anti Christian, pro gay viewpoints.

Uh yeah, you are. Even Lone Laugher has enough common sense stay on topic. You?

Stop crying and lying. My first response was on topic, then you friend came in and added his shit to this thread and I responded. How come you don't address him directly and cry to him about introducing the topic I responded to? :)

So, are they allowed to control his actions outside of the show? I don't think so.

Gee, is that what GLAAD was thinking when they bullied A&E into suspending Phil Robertson? Hmm?

What are you gonna do, throw a tantrum because you have been thoroughly debunked in every way in this thread? Were you not the one who tried to initially derail my thread?

Grow up.

GLAAD has every right to speak out against Duckman, that's their First Amendment right.
 
I wish more people would understand this point.



This isn't the gay and lesbian community vs Phil. Or the government vs Phil. Or the constitution vs Phil. This is solely between Phil and A&E.



Sorry, GLAAD prompted A&E to suspend Robertson after they found that article in GQ. This is militant gay rights activism. And when there is another referendum on gay marriage, they can kiss their hopes and dreams goodbye. Not many people will stand for folks who ask for tolerance but wont give any in return and are willing to end the livelihoods of hard working people to get it.


Could have been African Americans who lived Pre Civil Rights. You never know.

QED, Pheonix.
 
"Signor is hereby prohibited from expressing religious views or religious viewpoints in any venue outside of A&E Networks, as they may be deemed detrimental to the well being and/or stature of A&E Networks. Any breach of this clause may result in immediate suspension and or termination of this contract by A&E networks."

No. That's completely preposterous, Mr. Rothstein.

Not really.

So, he isn't allowed to be a Christian so long as he is under contract? This screams religious oppression, sir.

Did anyone force him to sign that contract?
 
Shhh! He will put us on ignore for disagreeing with him. He hates view points that don't match his.

GLAAD has every right to speak out against Duckman, that's their First Amendment right.

And Robertson has every right to say what he said, that's his First Amendment right. His contract with A&E notwithstanding. Typical liberal you are, selectively applying the Constitution when it suits you. Pathetic.

Yep, I refuted Katzndogs' assertion. End of story.

Presumedly he and the others signed a contract before getting their show. If the contract said something to the effect of 'A&E reserves the right to penalize you and fine you for doing or saying anything that reflects badly on the network...' then yes they do. If he didn't, I'd get a contract lawyer and sue A&E.

When we all signed up on this site though some of us are Americans, and though the site's based in California, we gave up certain 1st Amendment protections and rights. Same reason if the site wants to penalize a user for breach of contract and rules they have that right.

I'm out of your league. Go away.


Read the comments I posted, idiot, which were made after your's.

And A&E obviously listened to his concerns and appeased him and his religion.

"Robertson said that the producers have left the name “Jesus” in the show since that conversation"

Your own links ruins your argument.
You are out of no one's league, loser.
You can't even handle opposing view points. How many are on your ignore list now?
