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

Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Sometimes people do interviews just to stir up some ****.

CQ. Mission Accomplished. **** Appropriately Stirred.

You are correct, sir.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

I know how the entertainment industry works.

apparently you don't.

being employed in hollywood does not mean every question you give in public is on company time.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Yeah... Your a fanatic. What is actualy the difference between you and the taliban?

It's called the New Testament.

What's the difference between you and those who support adultery?
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

question, Could Ellen DeGeneres be suspended for speaking out publically in favor of homosexuality? would that be legal?

this has nothing to do with the government, so your point seems irrelevant.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Being an ignorant bigot is universally considered self destructive. He's too old to be such a moron. If he doesn't care about gays, then he can stop pontificating about them.

You are being an ignorant bigot on this very thread today, even going as far as to endorse discrimination. Doesn't that make you white trash and a moron by the exact same measure?
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

I was curious about this myself. Since he was merely stating his religious belief could he file charges of discrimination against A&E?

Even if he could, he wouldn't.

I don't think he cares much about this.

The LGBT community is all up in arms, and he is on his property hunting and doing whatever he likes.

He won.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

You wouldn't know real white trash if it gave you a beat down.

The only thing white trash beats is their wife.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Some of us did not stop with the exercise and made it part of our lives.

And then there is golf. In your mind - a manly mans manly activity. :roll::lamo
And running to nowhere is an manly activity?

it is this situation in reverse. if a show suspended ellen for speaking out in favor, instead of against it, can she be suspended or fired?
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

That's right, and the rebound is coming. The GLAAD folks look like whiney fools and the show will continue, with Phil, next season. A&E will probably give some sort of award for the increased ratings.

It may continue and it may not.

The family has said they can't see the show continuing without Phil, so A&E will have to get the accountants working to see if it is worth it.

To nowhere!?!?!?!? The destination is good health. That is not nowhere.

apparently you haven't read the family statement

the station deserves the right to fire her or suspend her.

Sure she could......if whoever holds her contract finds she violated the terms of the contract.

So, are you saying that Phil was homophobic in his interview with GQ?
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Obama is highly educated, brilliant and president of the US and some people still call him a nigger. It's not the same thing.

I know this is not the thread for this, but I would like one example of Obama being brilliant. I mean something that came from him and not something somebody else told him to do.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

The bible is a topic for another board we can have any time you'd like.

That's the basis for Phil Robertson's beliefs, and what he said that has left-wing heads exploding, so it's a legitimate issue to discuss.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Same answer, it depends on her contract and the view that the contractor holds on the action.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Sure she could......if whoever holds her contract finds she violated the terms of the contract.

exactly. you would need to see the terms of her agreement.

go tell duece that. he seems to think he knows it all.

now back to the original point. the 1964 civil rights act has clouded these issues. a contract has to also be legal.. you can't have a contract that says converting to Christianity violates the term of a contract.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

So what would be the next move by the gay mafia then? Boycott duck calls? A war on beards?
I suspect they've more umbrage with the hair down there than the hair up there - unless of course they feel those with the hair up there are judging their umbrage over the hair down there.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Then he should stop inventing wild fantasies about homosexuality.

What fantasy exactly are you talking about?
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

In this case I don't think America gave in to anything.

It was one man or a couple of men that were born without balls, like all too many in America these days, and they will pay the price for their decision.

Besides the storage shows, this is the only show I can watch on that channel and I don't think I am alone.

Because of its popularity I have tried to watch it but never have completed a whole show yet. I would rather watch reruns of the Big Bang Theory or finish out the Dexter series from Showtime that I never watched before. We are going to watch the last 3 episodes from the last season tonight.

I respect everyone's right to say what their beliefs are and stand behind them. I think the outrage is fake and just being done for publicity.
