Suspended Duck Dynasty Dude Unsuspended.

Is the issue that being a redneck is a choice or something you're born with? Is that what you're arguing about? Liberals tend to judge people by how they look rather than who they are? Oh, that sword cuts both ways. IMO, Redneck duck hunters would rather buy duck calls from long beards than from clean cut corporate golf dudes. These Robertson folks understand that and built an empire. God bless America.

Just because the man has a religious point of view does not make him a bigot.

You all are supposed to be the tolerant ones?

Why are the tolerant ones so intolerant of others?
Bill Maher:

"Be less easily fooled. Case in point, all the people that are fans of these guys, heroes to all the rural heartland traditional values gun nuts out there. Except here is what we recently found out these guys really look like before they got their TV show, preppy assholes at the golf club wearing Tommy Bahama. That’s right. It is all an act, fat cats pretending to be just folks. And you fell for it. Take a hint Tea Partiers. This is what the Republican Party is always doing to you/"




Maher also said this about golf, religion, assholes...
Don't take that last one personally, Bob.

And you missed the point; Maher wasn't talking about the Robertsons so much as he was about their dimwits followers. The apt phrase here is "useful idiots," and Duck Dynasty has them, and the Republican Party has them. I doubt that anyone as sharp as Phil Robertson has any respect whatsoever for his own fans.

The issue is the patriarch of this family was attacked, and continues to be attacked, for expressing his personal religious beliefs.

I don't think being a duck hunter makes one a redneck. I also doubt that people who buy duck calls care if the people who make them are "rednecks", other than they might shy away from a product labeled "Made in China".

No Forkush, you missed the point. Maher is a religious bigot, and apparently so are you.

Aren't most "reality shows" scripted in some part?

I watched two seasons of Duck Dynasty on DVD. It took me a while to warm up to, but I really don't understand why people go crazy over it. It does display family values and they all eat at the table after blessing the food. I just don't understand all the buzz about it.

This from the guy who puddles up every time you mention the word "Muslim."

Of course I dislike anyone who advocates the ritual murder of all non-virginal brides (Leviticus!), homophobia (Leviticus!), or forcing women to wear a burka. I'm consistent that way.
