'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E (W: 742)

The number of people bitching about freedom of speech is getting comical. Guess what, geniuses, free speech doesn't mean you're free from criticism or consequences. Duck Man wasn't arrested or fined for his speech. He exercised his free speech, and now his employer is exercising its own rights.

the civil rights act of 1964 does have something to say about employment, protected classes, and such.

If you are fired for a sharing a belief, and that belief is protected, then the issue gets slightly more murky then what you just painted.

You misunderstand. I did not call the performers on the show IDIOTS. My reference to the film IDIOCRACY was its central theme was the degradation of American culture - the IDIOCRACY became the masses of Americans who lost all sense of intelligence, taste and other positive assets. I believe this show is indicative of that sad trend and I would add t he Kardashians, the Housewives, Honey Boo, and lots of other reality shows to it.

As to your comment about them being rich and I am not - I am doing very well thank you. And their income means nothing to me either way and in no way shape or from indicates the quality of their show or product.

If money is all that is important there are some women who work nights near a truck stop that I sometimes gassed up at coming home late from the legislature and based on what they said they wanted - they must have taken in at least $500 to 800 a night for what some others do for free . I guess three or four grand a week is good money to some and if all you care about is money it certainly buys lots of mouthwash.

Really was he banned from every channel on TV?

I thought it was just A&E and it was a suspension, not a banning.

You will be happy to know the family is talking to A&E right now and they don't see a way to continue the show without Phil, so most likely they will stop the show.

You can rest easy now.

actually they have rejected yours, there was more support for the show than against it, even the sponsors supported Phil

And yet, if you hear Miss Kay and Phil tell the story, he was nothing BUT "white trash" (even though I do not endorse the term,) when all those events took place..

Next season is already filmed he will be on every show, right now he is off 2015. I think that will change as the people that actually watch the show will still be watching and the sponsors are standing behind Phil. As long as America keeps giving in the the whiny ass **** stirrers, they will keep whining

He's white and not far left. That is all one has to do to be considered trash by some of the racists on this board.

I think the bigger question is why did GQ, a magazine dedicated to men's fashion, interview Phil Robertson.

If anybody has a lack of fashion, and a lack of interest in fashion, it is Phil Robertson.

White trash is defined by style, not skin color. Stop pretending that just any white person is called white trash.
