‘Duck Dynasty’: November wines, December whines (RW hypocrisy)

November headline: ”Christian organization cancels ‘Duck Dynasty’ event because Robertsons have wine deal”

Despite his devotion to dinner time prayers and Christian values, “Duck Dynasty” star Willie Robertson has been axed from speaking at a benefit in Bristol, Tenn. for the faith and bible-driven organization, Family Ministries.

Why?

Wine.

The famous family announced its latest business venture last week: Duck Commander Wines. In conjunction with the winemakers of Trinchero Family Estates in Napa, the Robertsons’ own line of Red, Moscato and Chardonnay is slated to hit stores next month. According to the Ministries, Duck Commander Wines goes against the organization’s core values.

“Let’s have genuine diversity,” said Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention. Moore condemned this suspension by saying, “Muting one another isn’t what debate is for in a free society.”

“The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they disagree with,” said Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.”This is a free country and everyone is entitled to express their views.”

Of course there's a double standard. Fundamentalists like the Southern Baptist Convention don't care what a fellow fundamentalist does, but they'll be damned if a TV channel refuses to give a platform to a fellow bigot. And cringeing politicians desperate for fundamentalist and bigot votes will kiss whatever arse is necessary.
