Moose, please link and quote the "racist" things which you think that Duck said

..."said that during his Louisiana childhood, he picked cotton with African-Americans before “entitlements” and “welfare” came along, and never saw “the mistreatment of any black person. Not once.”

“Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers,” he told the magazine. “I hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash. We’re going across the field…. They’re singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!… Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.”"

It's no more offensive than your typical night on MSNBC or The Daily Show.

So he in essence said they were the same as the blacks there in that time.

why is it only stoopid white trash get shows?

"He can say what he wants in the U.S., and his potential viewers can select whether or not to view him based on what he says. To that extent, at least, it remains a free country."

"Mr Robertson, like so many other people, comes to sweeping conclusions effortlessly and easily,
because it is easier to do that then spend the time and effort actually learning and questioning.

And by choosing to have a lazy intellect, he is going to hear other people exercise their right of free speech by calling him uninformed, misinformed, and just plain ignorant"

From 1956, when he turned 10, through 1968, there were 3 whites and 4 blacks lynched in the US.

I can't believe people are getting worked up over this.

Never heard about any lynchings. Never saw any shooting, beatings or explosives.

I didn't say that. You seem to knowledgeable on that chapter of our history. Tell us all about seeing blacks getting strung up for daring to do things like...vote!

And we care what some scraggly-bearded hick who makes duck calls thinks becaaauussee...

Ekat what do you think Archie Bunker would be thought of today lol!;-)

So why is Phil Robertson not affored that same right?

Or was there similar outrage and I just missed it?

Roberson is talking out of his @$$, which is pretty common in those circles. The Bible calls it teaching a false gospel and you probably can assume what the bible says about THAT (not good).

Homosexuality is only mentioned in the bible seven times, and all of those are in the old testament, and not one mention of gay marriage. Jesus never said a single thing about homosexuality. One might even assume from his silence on the issue that it wasn't a big issue for him. In contrast, there are hundreds of references by Jesus on economic justice and the laws governing the accumulation and distribution of wealth. Hmmm.

I debate Christians a lot and am always surprised to learn how many of them are ignorant of what the bible actually says. You would think that if you were a Christian and if the bible was the inspired word of God that you would at least want to know what God had to say. That always puzzled me. It's also puzzling how they can go back and forth on whether or not we are supposed to follow stuff in the old testament. If it suits them we are, if it doesn't suit them we aren't.

Here's a few verses from the old testament that might interest Roberson, who likes to eat frog legs and crawdads. According to the bible it's an abomination, but only in the old testament. I know, it's confusing.

Leviticus 11:9-13
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

The whole Liberal agenda is attacking him.

Happiegirl...he was booted off his show....hello!

Ding....Mr. Robertson's opinions on a subject do NOT make him unable to do his TV show....why should he be fired?

Look, most Republicans share his views. To them he didn't say anything wrong, probably stuff they share every day over lunch.
This creep will be a bigger star now, don't fret. The Right protect their own.

I think you're a racist, homophobe, however, as is Cragman.

"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," he said. "They're singing and happy.

the Liberal PC agenda

Get it now?

He is a right wing,born again christian. What did you expect? He has a right to free speech ,his beliefs, and opinion So now you know where he stands. If you do not like it don't watch the program, buy Duck Commander products, or Ducky Dynasty merch.

the one Bachar got punched for in the Valley?

Mr. Robertson simply stated his opinion

Now you're making up sh!t you know nothing about.

I also grew up with many colored folks

And what's with the "Mr. Robertson" ?

You never use "Mr." when using the president's name, but you refer to this guy like yer shining his boots.

A little girl at our orphanage in Ecuador wasn't getting adopted because of the color of her skin. I never saw her as a little girl of color....I always saw her as another beautiful child that simply needed a family to love her.
I love the fact that now I get to see her as my beautiful daughter.
