At some point, we must ask, How much is enough, A&E? That point was sometime between Gay people are evil and Marry a teenager,yet Phil Robertson will still be on television leading his pack of fauxbillies in their never-ending quest to find new and inventive ways to arouse ducks.
Robertsons suspension (which lasted just long enough to boost holiday sales) has inspired a lawsuit against the President, insane ravings of a certain hypocritical half-term, half-wit former Governor of Alaska (who admitted that though she defended Robertson, she had not actually read the GQ article for which she was voicing support), and millions of devoted Duck Dynasty acolytes eagerly shoveling mounds of cash into the coffers of Communist China in support of racist and homophobic remarks on the part of the Duck Dynasty patriarchor as they call it, quoting scripture.
Since Duck Dynasty items sold at Walmart (which accounts for about half of total brand products sold) are made in China, we find it surprising that Phil expresses such a distaste for the Chinese in a newly uncovered 2008 video. Robertson, in an effort to be more inclusive in his hatred, extends the sentiment to Muslims and Communists as wellcomparing the three groups to Nazis. Its like the man is playing Hate BINGO.

He'd most likely consider me a "sinner", too, but I really don't give a crap about what this religion-soaked clown who makes millions from making fun of rural Southerners thinks about where I'm going in some imaginary afterlife, or his invisible skyfather.

(25,183 posts)to the winner of a special election (where turnouts are historically lighter), but who's to say that a Republicon wouldn't have won this seat anyway? I tried to find a history of how the 5th District in Louisiana voted in Presidential election years and was unsuccessful, but I'd be willing to bet that it has been solidly GOP for several decades.
Maybe somebody can prove me wrong on that.

(25,183 posts)in a regular election year, they can get rid of him. Probably with another Rethuglican who will block the President's progressive agenda. When Phil Robertson makes a difference outside of his area of Louisiana, then I'll worry about his influence.

Meanwhile, GLBT kids around the country are subjected to this shit and think maybe the best way out is suicide.
Or some gay brasher feels more empowered.

(25,183 posts)I just wish everybody, especially in the news media, would go back to ignoring him the way they did before the bogus GQ interview. His views are worthless, and I'd like to get back to a state of being where we all recognized that. His helping someone in the little corner of the state where he lives doesn't suddenly make him relevant.
He's an asshat, and he deserves zero audience. Let him retain attention only from those who think that making fun of Southerners as ignorant backwoods hicks is entertainment.
Ranchemp.
(1,991 posts)I agree, why should we give a damn what this assclown has to say, all it's doing is keeping him in the news, which is what A&E wants, as it brings in millions more to their coffers.
