Why didn't the dumbass have a free speech clause in his contract?
http://www.juanitajean.com/2013/12/2...lk-about-this/Okay, here’s the deal. A&E hires some religious right gun totin’ self-professed rednecks from the back bayous of Louisiana and then acts shocked, shocked I tell you, when they say something religious right gun totin’ self-professed redneck.
Have you ever seen a person of color on that show? No, you have not. And how do women have a say in family matters? By hoochy only. And why does that one brother never appear on the show? Uh, maybe he’s in the closet?
While the Dixie Chicks are not en led to the First Amendment, rednecks are. You gotta keep the rules right.
This is not a first amendment matter. This is a free enterprise matter.
If this family thinks gays are going to and blacks were perfectly happy to be slaves, then they are going to be mighty lonely in the great hereafter. Nobody is gonna wanna be around when Sweet Jesus gives them a talkin’-to.

Yeah they've been running a DD marathon for the past few days. Don't think they'll be killing the show anytime soon. This whole thing is probably a pre-planned marketing ploy.
Seems to me Christmas/New Years is a mighty convenient time to get suspended.
[QUOTE=diego;7026939]I know that many think that Crick did the heavy lifting for Watson, but to call him a fraud is a stretch. Also, think about your last sentence.
The hypocrisy is hilarious.
Phil is bad. He is offensive to gays. We suspended him.
Lets do a Phil MARATHON this weekend!
They had both meathead and Archie perform obvious contradictory actions based on the character stereotype.
The life full of obvious contradictions should be familiar to you.
Check that, subs ute oblivious for familiar.
All this thread tells me is that the OP desperately needs to change his tampon.
If McCain had won and then died, it would have been very interesting Presidency to observe.
No. No it wouldn't have...
The Great Boutons is really up pgarden nose
Sarah Palin: ‘I haven’t read’ Duck Dynasty interview but anus remark is ‘quoting the Gospel
“I haven’t read the article,” Palin admitted, clearing her throat. “I don’t know exactly how he said it. But, Greta, what he was doing was in response to a question about a lifestyle that he disagrees with. And yet he has said over and over again, he doesn’t hate the person engaging in a lifestyle he disagrees with. But in response, he was quoting the Gospel.”
“So people who are so insulted and offended by what he said, evidently, are offended by what he was quoting in the Gospel. So that’s another interesting aspect in all of this.”

Uncalled PI?...of course you would make an excuse for a guy being unable to convert from inside the 10 with 4 chances left. All Baltimore did on that last series was make sure to keep him in the pocket. Pass was uncatchable too--maybe if he was Megatron he could've grabbed it. Your football takes are historically awful (see Jamarus Russell wasn't given a fair shake, Ray Lewis was the real MVP of last SB) though, so it's understandable.
Of the 3 you're hitching your wagon to this postseason, well...you know what? This stat is too good to be true that I'm saving it for the NFL Forum. Do follow me to the NFL Forum and comment, though.
btw, last I checked only Kaep OR Wilson is guaranteed a division le going into Week 17...Panthers still have to win on the road at ATL.
"If McCain had won"
nope thankfully
No doubt that there is a lot of hypocrisy on the part of A&E. They are exploiting the success of the same man they're condemning as a bigot.
However, I have to wonder: why do all conservatives seem to come out of the woodwork to defend these people? It has nothing to do with freedom of speech; no one is trying to take that away from him. But there are consequences when you say controversial things; this should be obvious.
You can't seriously believe his comments weren't in poor taste.
corporate-Amercans have nothing in their articles of incorporation or objectives that says be ethical or moral. Their overwhelming priority and responsibility is profit.
C-As programming will blow which ever way the money wind blows them. "all publicity is good publicity"
Anybody hear of any advertisers pulling ads from A&E (the the only "ethic" driving A&E) they way the pulled ads from Limbaugh, or quit contributing to SYG/kill-the-n!gg@s ALEC?

It's more of a knee-jerk reaction to GLAAD trying to label the opposite side of their argument as hate speech in the cultural arena in order to silence it.
At this advanced point of the "Christian" culture wars, the only category for Phil and other white trash expressing his ideas is the hate category.
GLAAD and most of America is on the winning PROGRESSIVE side of letting LGBT alone and giving them equal rights, while the "Christian" haters and the asshholes who exploit their hate for money and politics are losing, gonna lose. Banning same sex marriage even in a Repug backwater like Indiana (and Utah) is not automatic.

Ever think perhaps they're right?
Lol my football takes are terrible? My predictions and takes were on point the rest of the way until the very last seconds of the SB. You ate so much crow last year that I'm suprised you didn't turn into one. "Greenbay has easiest route to the Superbowl because all the games are against black qbs." How did that turn out for you? I don't feel like posting your other gems regarding Russell Wilson and Cam but you are currently eating crow about that as well.
Phil Robertson, Duck Dynasty, and the White Trash Politics of the Republican Party
For people such as Phil Robertson, and the white conservatives who share his particular type of myopic and ahistorical whiteness, the full liberty and freedom of black Americans, especially as demonstrated through the use of our citizenship rights to redress grievances by struggling for full equality, is morally objectionable.
Robertson and his Duck Dynasty clan are a depiction of how a writer and show-runner have chosen to represent white trash America. How can a network then feign surprise when an actor gives the very performance it has solicited?
As one more example of how a debased politics have become almost inseparable from the public spectacle that is the mass media, Robertson’s observations about how “lazy” and “complaining” black Americans have been “ruined” by “en lements” are none too different from what prominent Republicans and the Right-wing media have being saying for decades about the black community.
The Republicans’ “Southern Strategy” was/is predicated on overt and covert signals to white racial resentment and bigotry such as those channeled by Phil Robertson. Ronald Reagan had his “welfare queens” and “strapping young bucks”. Romney had his "makers" and "takers" and lecturing the NAACP about seeking handouts. Newt Gingrich and other “compassionate conservatives” want to give black and brown children mops and brooms so they do not become lazy social parasites like their fecund, breeding, irresponsible parents.
Bloviators like Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter, O’Reilly, and other Right-wing talkers are obsessed with a narrative of black insolence, laziness, broken homes, bad culture, and a return to the “good old days” before the Great Society and “liberals” made African-Americans into a group of ingrates and complainers.
“News” outlets such as Fox News, Right-wing talk radio, conservative social media and websites, as well as even once “respectable” publications such as the National Review, have at one time or another mirrored Robertson’s claims about black Americans.
Here, black conservatives are the worst offenders in perpetrating the White lie of a benign Jim and Jane Crow and slavery, in a political blackface routine wherein the Democratic Party is some type of “plantation”, and African-Americans--who of course lack any sort of agency or intelligence to act in their own political self-interest--have been ruined by the Civil Rights Movement.
The post civil rights era Republican Party is a neo-Confederate organization that (now) openly embraces the White Supremacist language and symbols of the antebellum South. Consequently, Robertson is a perfect spokesperson for the Tea Party GOP in the Age of Obama.
There is no greater sin in post civil rights America than that of calling a white person a racist--even when it is earned and appropriate. Bigotry pays well in America. Racially resentful white folks will ensure that Phil Robertson will be even more popular than before. He, like the Republican Party, is their unofficial spokesman, and white racism always takes care of its own.

So how do you racist white trash here in SpursTalk, clutchin your Bibles and guns while defending white trash Phil, respond?
