A&E suspended Phil Robertson

Actually Garud, what YOU said was that I was 'hiding' my views and that I was being 'hypocritical'. Both of which are complete bullshit.

YOU, you support Clear Channel's actions against the DC's for having spoken their minds. Yet, you don't support A&E's actions against the Duck guy for having spoken his mind.

Simply because you see the duck guy as on your team.

One more time for the brain dead Garud...

1) The Ditzie Chicks and Robertson had a right to say what they did
2) Clear Channel and A&E had a right to respond the way they did
3) Individuals had the right to support whichever side they felt was correct.

Yet I do support A&E's right to have a different opinion than me and I do support their right to do as they did. That does not mean I have to AGREE with them you retard.

Because I have the ability to speak my mind as well. Free speech doesn't stop. Nor does disagreeing with someone mean we think they shouldn't have the right to free speech.

You retard.

Well; your observations are just as moronic as your political and economic views then.

Do not confuse my condescension of leftist female dunces like yourself who spam political forums with utter stupidity, with how I treat women. I treat you the way you deserve to be treated with your repugnant stupidity.



Is that what you think dimwit? How could I possibly be scared of air heads like you?

I married an extremely intelligent woman who has an MBA and a CPA and who runs the show around here; I am hardly in fear of her, but respect her intelligence. I won a family discussion with my two boys one day at the dinner table about which of us were the smartest.
I told my sons that I was the one who was obviously smarter. They both objected strongly and insisted that their mother was definitely smarter…until I told them that I got her, and she got me; who was smarter. Suffice it to say, we do not have that debate anymore and my wife has stopped insisting she is smarter. ;-)



First off, your sentence makes NO sense whatsoever.

But in the interest of pretending you have a clue; Homosexuality cannot be called “normal.” I know the leftist dimwits desperately seek to assert that; but God and nature proves that nothing could be further from the truth. All animals, fish and reptiles are placed here for one purpose; to procreate. To accomplish this, females are different from males and ONLY through the act of fertilization can this be accomplished. If homosexuality were the “norm”, a species would cease to exist.

So please spare me the tortured moronic argument that it is “normal.” Reality suggests that it is NOT.

Carry on; I am sure you will find some other moronic point to make in your continuing efforts to remove all doubt you’re a clueless dunce.

Your abysmal smugness is stifling, to say the least. You can't even answer a questions without promoting yourself as being superior. Must you elevate your marital status in order to elevate yourself?
If a female is unable to procreate, should she then wear a label of deficiency since she cannot perform her purpose for being here on earth?
Perhaps in your delusion you could explain to me why some men are obsessed with oral sex. Do you think maybe they are latent gays?

You are trying to avoid the issue. That's fine, its like talking to a brick wall at this point.

You cant grasp what Im trying to explain.


I disagree with A&E and I disagree with Clear Channel because I don't like when individuals are punished by corporate media for speaking their minds.

he insulted every black person on the planet when he said black people were happier under Jim Crowe.



I would not want someone like that representing my company to the public

you insulted our intelligence when you lied about what he said......
 
I don't like when Corporate Media punishes people for speaking their minds.

That does not change based on if I agree with the person speaking their mind or not.

No moron... if you truly 'love' freedom of speech, then you will support it at ALL levels. You are trying to take away the rights of the companies to express their free speech.

You again are also trying to duck away from the fact that you said I was being hypocritical, when in reality my stance was identical in both cases. You again are ducking away from the fact that you said I was 'hiding', when the reality is I have been very clear throughout this thread what my stand is.

NOW you are trying to divert away from that with your above bullshit... and it is bullshit.

1) The Ditzie Chicks and Robertson had a right to say what they did
2) Clear Channel and A&E had a right to respond the way they did
3) Individuals had the right to support whichever side they felt was correct.

ALL three levels contain freedom of speech GARUD... so WHY do you wish to deny one level their FREEDOM?

I agree with you he should not have been fired. They fired him because of pressure from the queers, not contract obligations.

You are interjecting your own personal fears.
Personally, I don't believe A&E would kowtow to 'the queers', a label you seem to enjoy. There must be 'something' other than fear that would lead them to suspended the patriarch of their number one show.

How is it I elevated my marital status you dunce? My story illustrated the stupidity of your ignorant repugnant opinions.

What does a woman’s ability to procreate have to do with the purpose God/Nature intended you dunce?

Perhaps in your glaring ignorance you can ask someone who cares about whether or not men are obsessed with oral sex. Frankly I have no clue what it has to do with the debate or your incredibly dumb vague claims and arguments.

What your comments suggest is that you find men of strength and moral integrity frightening and have male issues of your own for reasons I don't care to delve into.

I would suggest that you get some professional help for that.
 
Any time Americans are punished for speaking an opinion, it should be a concern. The problem is the deranged cockroaches who pressured A&E and the like minded deranged cockroaches at A&E.

You are not intelligent; that is to say, you are not an intellectual.
You spew hateful vitriol and the sad thing is you don't even now what you are proffering.
A man of strength and integrity does not have to resort to calling women or anyone insulting, derogatory names.
I must admit that I find it difficult to believe that a strong, intelligent woman would partner up with you -- just saying.
You made yourself obvious when you shied away from oral sex.
 
A&E made a fiscal choice. They chose to support one community over another, and took what they believe is a moral stand, one for which they will likely suffer. The duck call people will not suffer one iota, they are still multi-millionaires even without the show.

A&E hired people they knew to be Fundamentalist Christians, and a bit "backwoods", then acted all shocked when they actually were Fundamentalist Christian, and a bit "backwoods", and acted like it. Had A&E included a "no religion" clause in the contract Phil would never have signed it, they therefore did not. They are going to lose any lawsuit, will have to pay these people for not doing anything, and will lose the show to another network all in one swoop.

I do not believe that A&E will be saying this was their best collective decision even 2 years from now.

A&E absolutely has the right to do this, but they will find that breach of contract is not a right.
