On Thursday, Fox News discussed the termination of Duck Dynastys Phil Robertson. A panel of three, including conservative radio host Mike Slater, spoke about the suspension over Robertsons anti-gay remarks during an interview with GQ. Slater then baffled us with a bizarre analogy comparing the homophobic Robertson to Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
In 1958, a young boy wrote a preacher a letter, saying that he was struggling with homosexuality and this preacher wrote back, Son, dont worry, theres a solution to your problem. That preacher was Martin Luther King Jr, Slater said.
I guarantee you that Martin Luther King Jr. loves that boy just like Robertson, he continued. The point is the Robertson family loves everyone, thats the point here.
Richard Fowler, a liberal radio host laughed as he responded. That stretches just way too far, that is a total straw man. Beyond that, this GQ interview was loaded with hatred. Its not only his talk about homosexuality, but he goes on to talk about how African-Americans were doing pretty well during Jim Crow. -

By Scott Kaufman

Illinois Republican congressional candidate Ian Bayne sent an email to supporters today in which he declared that embattled Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson is the Rosa Parks of our generation.
In December 1955, Rosa Parks took a stand against an unjust societal persecution of black people, he wrote. And in December 2013, Robertson took a stand against persecution of Christians.
What Parks did was courageous, wrote Bayne. What Mr. Roberston did was courageous too.
