A&E shoots itself in the foot

[Colpy]

Judging by my facebook feed, A&E had a stroke of brilliance. I've never heard so much about Duck Dynasty. The family is sending out poignant letters all across cyber space about how they and A&E are still working closely together to find a solution.


I'm quite certain both Duck Dynasty and A&E will come out richer in the end for all of this.

WHERE have you been hiding??

I am hardly a pop culture expert, but the Duck Dynasty is EVERYWHERE!!!

The solution is A&E should apologize to Phil.

And carry on.

The show is silly, but charming and absolutely inoffensive....unlike any other "reality" show.

We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other."

Christians would make more points if they followed the new testament rather than pick and choose the parts of the old testament they want to follow.

Fuk A&E anyway though. I don't watch their rubbish.

Nor I. They're pretty dull. When they do put something good on they ruin it with heavy censorship. I saw an episode of the Sopranos on A&E once. The way they tried to cover up the swearing was funny and sad at the same time.

ha. I actually hadnt heard of it til about a week ago either.

It wasn't A&E that started the hoopla over this. There was a big reaction online and from organizations like GLADD.

I have read the article and I do think that his comments are pretty questionable. You know you are going to run into trouble when you mention homosexuality in the same breath as bestiality.

Once again you show your comprehension problems.

They are a pretty media savvy organization so they know what will happen when they do something like this.

Their mission isn't to crush Duck Dynasty or A&E. Their mission is to promote positive and inclusive messages about LGBT people in the media, and combat what they see as anti LGBT messages. This attracts a lot of attention all around, but that includes attention for the message that GLADD is trying to get out there

The only message \i got from GLAAD was that they, like so many other "LGBT" organizations, preach tolerance but that tolerance only applies to others and not themselves.

The source of his views is really irrelevant. People are not disagreeing with his statements because they are "christian", they disagree because they are offensive. Religion is not an excuse for prejudice. You are responsible for whatever comes out of your mouth.

and "people" are reading in things that aren't there. Reading in things to further an agenda.

He never received any credit for this belief. Just what the wankers did not like.
However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other."

and Phil Robertson made the same statement in reply to the twisted lies that GLAAD posted.

Care to explain why? My statement is quite easily verified if you actually read the article.

You don't think GLADD is tolerant of LGBT people? I have never seen them have any problems with practicing what they preach.

I know you are really trying to push that whole argument that they should be tolerant of intolerant views, but that is necessarily incomparable with their mission.

They are not speaking out against him for his ethnicity or sexual orientation, they are speaking out against him because they disagree with his views. That is a different issues.

and "people" are reading in things that aren't there. Reading in things to further an agenda.

There isn't much to read into there. He is quite clear about his views. The guy certainly isn't Hitler, but it is easy to see why someone may not want to associate themselves with his comments.

So what is necessarily wrong with Christians having different views than the LGBT people ? Oh yes I get it gays being intolerant of the
Christian message is A O K but Christians having different views is intolerant . No hypocracy here folks move along .

GLADD never claimed to be promoting "the christian message"(many Christians wouldn't want to be associated with his comments either).

They are promoting inclusion and acceptance, and that is necessarily incompatible with views that promote exclusion and prejudice.

Again, in no way has anyone criticized this guy for being a Christian. There is a difference between disagreeing with the things someone says and disagreeing with an intrinsic part of who someone is(race, sexual orientation, etc).

depends upon what the Christian message is doesn't it...if it comes from Christ it doesn't come with heavy anger and judgement, if it has a human twist well...it comes with all of the human failings of that particular individual and their limited understanding and ability to interpret the word.

Every philosophy have ones that argue over the "true" meaning.

they do and unfortunately some of those doing the interpreting and preaching and judging come with heavy baggage and an inability to understand the human condition...if one does not love one's self, loving another is not possible; thus all that fire and brimstone stuff

Personally I find a woman's parts are much more interesting than a mans. I personally could not imagine sex with another man .
I find the act abborhant .Does that mean I am a homophobe or am I normal ? And if I am normal what does that say for the gay society ?

It is normal for the way you were born. I find eating pork aberrant. As long as I do not feel it needs to affect your choice of food, it's all good. Once I start telling you that you may not eat it because I don't like it then there's a problem.

That's the way it works in the straight world and the gay world.

And if I am normal what does that say for the gay society ?

It says you are normal for the way you were born. They are normal for the way they were born. Live and let live, lest you poison your own life.

Reality shows, cheap to produce and sizable profits to be made. 1 reason we see so much of that crap.

Whaddahyameen WE? We, if you insist on our inclusion, must watch TV, otherwise we wouldn't see the crap at all. Save yourself Goober, do it now for the love of God cast out the box frum yer heart and hearth, do it now while the spirit takes yew cast it through thine pikture windew into the street. halajuya

It certainly is more common for people to prefer sex with the opposite sex. Nobody has claimed otherwise.

What is not normal is going around providing unsolicited judgement of other people's sexual preferences.
