That right there is the first I've read of the interview but obviously if you're A&E and this is your "Talent" talking you're seeing a significant swath of your viewership insulted.
Kinda hard to defend sump'm like that.
And yet 2 posters today told me that the way GLAAD reacted was either
1) criminal, or,
2) ought to be.
P.S. the quote above was from a different rant by 'Phil' that was discovered after he gave people reason to look.
Perhaps if you were treated in such a fashion, you'd change your mind. You never ever know someone until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Frankly, the man is 67 years old, lived through Jim Crow, was a flaming, drug doing, sex happy hippie from the 60's, he had to flee Arkansas after beating a bar owner and his wife to a pulp at a bar. Then someone led him to Christ. Now, when he remembers what he used to be and what he is now, he rightfully proclaims his faith.
It should be criminal to seek the destruction of a man for having an opinion. Given that our law says otherwise and protects the right of someone to be spiteful to another, that is an impossibility. What those two people were doing was voicing an opinion, not a desire to criminalize anything. Try looking up those two words when you get the chance.

He lived through Jim Crow? That must have been horrible for him.
Not all relish black suffering like you democrats do

The whole family told A&E to fuck off---not using those words, but effectively the same thing.
good now we will be rid of them
who's we? a mouse in your pocket, such a hater of other people in this country
Freedom of Religious Opinion?
Anybody has the right to speak out, but depending on the situation, they can be rebuked severely.
Antares does not understand that, though. He just spittles on his chin.
So I can fire someone for attacking Christianity and it's traditions?
How about political opinions? If an employee of my voices an opinion I don't like, can I fire them?
Man oh man, you have never heard of a right to work state?
And on top of that let me say it AGAIN:
Your 1st amendment rights of free speech, religious or otherwise, protect you against the power of GOVERNMENT LIMITING IT, NOT your employer.
How many times do I have to post that FACT?

Ok, cool. So should I be able to fire someone for striking, after all, a corporation should have the right to fire anyone they wish.

I think people understand this. they are just criticizing a society in which not towing the pc line can cost you your job. In principal, I agree with the general principle a corporation should be able to fire whom they wish, however, that doesn't mean I won't criticize the general cultural tend towards political correctness. I have just as much a right to criticize a corporation for caving to the homosexual lobby as A&E has the right to fire Phil Robertson.
I am talking about your personal opinion though, your morals, not the law. Do you think it is acceptable for a corporation to fire whomever they want for whatever reason they want, or is there a line?Man oh man, you have never heard of a right to work state?

In most all states you can, even Michigan now as they just voted to right to work state.
That is what a right to work state means.
Fire at will except for Federal guidelines but you can pretty much fire anyone for anything.
I tell my clients to forget the drug testing and all that crap. If you have an employee you want to fire for whatever reason next time they come in to work 1 minute late give them a written warning.
Next time they are one second late fire them for that.
Keeps worms in the can.

How is wanting to protect your property rights PC?
That is what this is all about, the image that A & E wants to have is one of inclusion.
That is their right to protect their investment and has nothing to do with PC crowd.
If it is politically correct to give gays and lesbians the respect they deserve then so be it.
I am talking about your personal opinion though, your morals, not the law.

Who determines where the line is?
Those that have their life savings invested in the company, you, I or government?
There is not a set of rules and a one size fits all line.
I own 3 businesses. I set different lines for each but only employ people in one of them.
My morals may be different than the next guy's morals.

Phil Robertson doesn't threaten the property rights of A&E. That is a foolish thing to say.
What is PC is caving to insensitive homosexuals who don't care about the show, and never watched the show. They merely want to enforce conformity of thought.
I don't think the left will get what they want in this regard. Their show will continue to make money through merchandise and probably get a new tv deal. The left has been terrible at boycotts recently. I think their effort to enforce conformity of thought will fail.

I know your morals may be different, hence why I am asking you what they are. In your opinion, should an employer have the absolute right to fire who he wishes for whatever reason?
So no gay folk ever watched the show.

Of course they should if it is not against the law and employment law is well known.
No one has a right to a job.
