Phil Robertson said this:
"Women with women. Men with men. They committed indecent acts with one another. And they received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. They're full of murder, envy, strife, hatred. They are insolent, arrogant God haters. They are heartless. They are faithless. They are senseless. They are ruthless. They invent ways of doing evil."
But he doesn't just 'say' that, he preaches that belief. And no conservative on this board will acknowledge that the above is quite simply, hate speech, by the most basic measure of what hate speech is.
And just for clarity of what PR is saying in the above, let me accentuate what he is saying by a precise paraphrase that only replaces some pronouns with who they refer to:
Women with women. Men with men. They committed indecent acts with one another. And they received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
Gays are full of murder, envy, strife, hatred.
Gays are insolent, arrogant God haters.
Gays are heartless.
Gays are faithless.
Gays are senseless.
Gays are ruthless.
Gays invent ways of doing evil.
...so there. That is what Phil Robertson believes and preaches. Not one conservative on this forum calls that hate speech.
That is what is wrong with Phil Robertson and that is what is wrong with modern day American conservatism.
