    you can tell them, you can show them, you can explain reason and acceptance but indignant outrage is still the order of the day..

    I actually think this is a publicity stunt. Look how much business Chick Fill A rolled in, when they entered into this conversation. The Duck Dynasty guys are actually very smart business men.

    Hate? The only hate I saw was aimed AT the "red neck," not coming from him...

    I could be way off here, but I'm guessing that my view of the impact here vs. A&E's view might be wildly divergent.

    You see, I see the Venn diagram of a) people who would respond actively to calls of a GLAAD boycott and b) hardcore viewers of Duck Dynasty and/or A&E as probably not having much of an overlap. Then again, I can't believe that a media company would open themselves up to this--especially after multiple years of working with him. His testimony is not hard to find.

    I remember seeing this (fictionally) in Studio 60--ironically, it was the "right-wing evangelical nutjobs" who were attempting a boycott in Sorkin's world--and in reality during the Masters with Martha Burk and the NOW protesting Augusta National and calling for a boycott. Augusta basically said "GFY, we don't need commercials", ran the tournament without them for two years, and made beaucoup money in their next contract.

    Are you guys serious? He directly compares homosexual behavior with bestiality, infidelity, prostitution, greed, slander, swindling, and alcoholism.

    That's a fucking dumb and hateful 'belief'.

    Never heard of this guy before, but I hope he never works a job in the media again.

    In the eyes of most Christians, homosexuality is a sin. So is bestiality, infidelity, prostitution, greed, slander, swindling, and alcoholism

    It's all sin.

    Not once did he slander anyone

    Homosexuality simply is not an immoral act. Saying it is is slander.

    I believe he inferred it was a sin (according to his religion). There are a lot of things identified as sins which are not immoral in the eyes of non-believers and casually religious people.

    He has every right to have and express his shitty opinion. Can't he just be a dirtbag and can't we all just leave it at that? I don't like the faux outrage or the faux counter outrage, it's all insincere and irritating.

    Didn't he also say something about black people? Dude should have just said something about Indians, no one would have cared.

    On the plus side, maybe this will get the show canceled because it sucks.

    I know this. I don't quite see your point here.

    Yes, he can. I don't care about Phil Robertson one tiny bit, I didn't have a clue who he was until I read the article, I'm not outraged at him, or anyone. The ignorant dumbass douchebags in this thread defending him do annoy me though.

    Based on the fact Dog the Bounty Hunter got four more seasons after the voicemails, I would imagine DD and it's 10 million f'n viewers won't even see a pause.
