The "Duck Dynasty" Saga

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard all the controversy about Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson. For Robertson, it wasn’t enough to play a redneck on television. He had to go out and prove he really was one.

In a mind-boggling interview with GQ magazine, Robertson first identified himself as a Christian – and then went on to smear gays, insisting homosexuality was a sin and equating it with bestiality, adultery, idolatry, and prostitution.

He then proceeded to argue that the days of segregation were actually happy days for black people. Growing up in the South, he  said, he heard blacks singing in the fields and never heard one black person complain about conditions they lived in and under.

For his comments, Robertson was suspended by the A&E Network. But now Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives have come to his defense, insisting his First Amendment rights were violated and he’s a victim of anti-Christian hatred.

Nonsense to both. As compulsive as Robertson’s comments were, nobody says he didn’t have a right to say them. But his boss also has a right to fire him.

He’s no Christian victim, either. Whether Robertson realizes it or not, not all Christians are homophobic bigots like him.

BTW they are yuppie fakes and not white trash they play on TV 

Dear ‘Duck Dynasty’ Fans: You Do Know It’s All Fake, Right?
