    ...rick, the only ones I recall agreeing with his misguided misinterpretations were ONE time posters who conveniently appeared then mysteriously disappeared.

    Just a random sample of polls;




    http://thebatavian.com/howard-owens...ight-thing-suspending-duck-dynasty-star/40734


    Today's Poll: Did A&E do the right thing in suspending Duck Dynasty star?


    Yes, Phil Robertson's remarks were inappropriate and A&E had an obligation to take action 6.79% (135 votes)


    No, Phil Robertson has a right to his beliefs about gays and he should be able to express those views 59.39% (1,180 votes)


    Yes and No, in that Robertson has a right to believe as he wishes and say what he wants, but A&E has the right, as a private company, to enforce its own standards 33.82% (672 votes)



    ==========================

    http://www.mercurynews.com/celebrities/ci_24765862/phil-robertson-poll-what-do-you-think-e

    Poll: What do you think of A&E suspending Phil Robertson from "Duck Dynasty"?

    Phil Robertson has a right to free speech so A&E should not have suspended him. (79%)
    Phil Robertson's free-right speech doesn't trump A&E's freedom to react as it sees fit. (14%)
    Phil Robertson's remarks went too far and he should be fired, not just suspended. (4%)
    "Duck Dynasty" is a terrible show anyway, so one less star on it is a blessing (3%)

    ===============================

    http://kfyo.com/was-ae-right-to-suspend-duck-dynastys-phil-robertson-poll/



    What do you think? Did A&E make the right move?


    Yes 5.95%


    No 93.05%


    Not sure 1%

    I never said A&E should suspend him or take off his show. They have every right to show pretty much whatever they want to.

    He's just a racist and a bigot.

    ...well, again, that evidently places you in the much smaller minority.

    Seriously Denny all due respect, responses like this only make the kick me sign on your back bigger. Save yourself any further humiliation & let it go.

    Seriously, you were shown the smoking gun and ignored it. The bible passage he edited or removed words from his recital. Changed the entire meaning of the text from "there are sinners out there" to "homosexuals are murderers."

    Compare for yourself. The bible passage did not say this:

    http://www.nydailynews.com/entertai...-people-newly-emerged-video-article-1.1553737

    How many words did he leave out? I can go count them for you. Omitted for effect: homosexuals are full of murder, etc.

    Indefensible.

    The more I read about him and his apologists, the more twisted logic and just bad reasoning I see.

    The man CAN cite bible verse word for word, but paraphrases instead. To twist the text to meet his homophobic world view.

    The Corinthians passage mentions homosexuality as a sin. Fine, I got that all along. I even would respect his answer if he said "the bible says homosexuality is a sin and I am a believer."

    What Corinthians does not include is the invective phrasing, like "homosexual offender." HIS words, hateful, invective, targeting homosexuals. His agenda, target homosexuals and associate the with terrorists or the acts with bestiality (also inserted into the paraphrasing by him).

    He's got you fooled because he uses some of the words in the bible. He's just not stringing them together as written in the bible, and twisting the meaning to suit his purposes: hate gays.

    I'm not telling you my interpretation of what he meant. That sort of thing is required to attempt to defend the indefensible: his words are clear, but you have to explain them away to somehow prove he's not the bigoted racist he has proven himself to be.

    The Wheels on the bus go round and round. I can't wait for any Yankee news that will put Denny in hibernation.

    ...you, of all people are in no position to point that out..."paraphrasing" and "twisting" is exactly what you have been doing since the very beginning.


    ..."people who live in glass houses........", well, you know.

    Does it really matter Al? If I had to guess though I say that the majority of the people against Robertson's personal opinions were member of GLAAD. And of course our own Denny, Which I've no problem with. As I've said a time or two during this thread, opinions are like assholes........everybody has one.

    ..."demographics and geographics"?...seriously?

    ...unbelievable how people will try to reason and explain things away.
