Duck Dynasty Publicity Stunt?

Opinions are fine. But here is something I've learned about most people whose opinions differ from my own...

They vote to install masters over me and my family. In doing so, they reveal their willingness to use a threat of force to make me do their bidding.

It is a disgusting trait.
 


The only reason he gives a shit about that show is because he gets to use it as a platform to share his beliefs. I mean, the guy stood up Barbara Walters to go hunting. If they completely pulled the show entirely, he would give approximately -0.42 fucks.

He shared his religion's viewpoint on sin before he went on to also share his religion's viewpoint that he was not the judge of people and that he didn't treat people differently over it. Seeing GLAAD say shit in response like the Bible doesn't condemn homosexuality was hilarious.

I'm not religious by any means, but it's pretty obvious that his alleged "suspension" is a win-win situation for both him and A&E. He gets to say to hell with the show and still benefit from its popularity with the demographic he's trying to reach (possibly more now than before), and A&E gets to make it look like they are so PC that they stood up to someone on their most popular show.
 
I am annoyed by all of the people posting on Facebook and everywhere else about his free speech rights being violated.

He was free to speak his mind and he did exactly that. A&E is also free hire or fire people as they wish.

“I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash...

I'm surprised more hasn't been said about this comment comparing hard working blacks to white trash.
I guess racism isn't a hot topic for the media right now...

Going to watch an episode because of all the hype.

Stupid gays, making the show more popular by ranting about it.
 
This is exactly what the shows audience wants to hear. The gay and lesbian community that watch are doing so to laugh at a bunch of rednecks. If they didn't edit the show you would hear nothing but racist and homophobic conversation. But the average viewer has said and thought much worse than Phil.

With that said, it wouldn't shock me if it came out he was a pedo.
 
Reminds me of this...... new controversy same thing applies:

Other then the Walking Dead all other shows are on the broadcast station, having a cable show that ranks with them is huge.
 
Here is what irritates me about the situation, if LGBT and NAACP ignored his comments it would of been just one old guy making odd comments, instead they gave him a megaphone and magnified his comments. If their so offensive why draw more attention to them.

Which leads me to my second point. Why do minority groups feel they have the right to push their views and believes on others? Not only when it comes to anti-gay comments but also to Christmas and other holidays, it seems like were bending to confirm to others all the time. If you don't believe in Christmas, ignore it.

The last thing that frustrates me is we (collectively as the united states) are getting upset by stupid and petty stuff. We get mad about Phil Robertson anti-gay comments but no one says a peep about how abysmal our primary education system is? That people can't get access to mental health care when they should or that children are growing up in single parent households. There are many issues that are much worse that then one man's comments.

Question - Why are they targeting A&E and not GQ? GQ did the interview and ran the comments?
