Tea Party candidate gets crushed by Duck Dynasty

I don't put much weight in who duck dynasty cast members support but I would vote for someone who is more centrist than extreme.

Doesn't matter the party either..................

ville

could ya please refrain from assigning a label to yourself.....you and another poster have some strange need to constantly announce it.

just saying.////

   I would side with Phil Robertson.

Good man with good values. 

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The A&E channel says "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson is off the show indefinitely after condemning gays as sinners in a magazine interview.

In a statement Wednesday, A&E said it was extremely disappointed to read Robertson's comments in GQ magazine.

His beliefs are personal and don't reflect the views of A&E or the show itself, the channel said.

Robertson has been placed on an indefinite hiatus from filming the hit reality show, which follows a colorful Louisiana family that manufactures duck calls. "Duck Dynasty" has set cable ratings records for a non-fiction series.

In the interview in the January issue of GQ, Robertson put gays into the company of others who are sinners, including adulterers and swindlers.

After stating that homosexuality is against his religion he stated...... "However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”

You wont hear that part.  I think we know why he is being targeted, and it has little to do with his comments. 

Actually, he equated homosexuality with bestiality and called it a sin. I understand you agree with him but it doesn't make the comment less offensive or mean that he was singled out.

When asked what he thought was sinful, Robertson replied: "Start with guy behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men."

That is not equating homosexuality with bestiality any more than he is equating bestiality with sleeping around.

CNN agrees with you that he puts it in the same "category", but that category is quite large, and includes murder, adultery, homosexuality, drunkenness, idol worship etc. etc. etc. 

again, 

He ends his statement with:

"However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”

freedom of speech can be offensive
