'Duck Dynasty's' Phil Robertson sounds off on gays, civil rights - Polidicks

[QUOTE]As anyone who's watched even a few minutes of A&E's reality hit "Duck Dynasty" can tell you, Phil Robertson is a pretty conservative guy. But in an interview published in January's GQ Magazine, the duck call inventor and Roberston family patriarch goes on record with comments about the sinfulness of gays and black people under Jim Crow that are about as forward-thinking as his Old Testament facial hair. In the profile, an unedited Robertson sounds off on what's ailing the country during a trip through the Louisiana backwoods.

I went into the family room, found my parents' Duck Dynasty DVD's, and spat all over them.

Hey look, a redneck ultraconservative celebrity saying gays are bad. By the way, anyone want to buy a bridge? Really though, can anyone explain why this show is at all interesting? I've never honestly had any urge to watch even a trailer for it.

I thought everyone knew these people were ultra conservative? This shouldnt be a surprise to anyone

you know who else blamed minorities on the country's problems? Hitler

The racism is probably going to do more damage than if he only insulted gay people.

What the fuck is Duck Dynasty? It seems like every store I go in just exploded in merchandise for them over the past few months and I have no idea what it is.

This show makes my state look terrible. It pisses me off that it's so goddamned popular even here though.

[QUOTE=Forumaster;43227001]What the fuck is Duck Dynasty? It seems like every store I go in just exploded in merchandise for them over the past few months and I have no idea what it is.[/QUOTE] It's a reality TV show about a family who made millions off of duck calls they make. It follows their business and their wacky hijinks in the backwoods.

My parents adore this show. Just goes to show how intelligent they are.

Growing up in the country i tried my best to avoid this show but damnit when i watched it i really liked it.

It's a reality show version of the Beverly Hillbillies, without all that moving to California and experiencing fish-out-of-water hijinks. How could this resolve itself any other way?

This show is great you people are no fun.

Aren't these the same guys who now have Chia Pets in the shape of their heads?

Take a chill pill and relax.

[QUOTE=Shark Bones;43227117]No, it's about a bunch of idiots who don't deserve to be rich fucking around and acting like a bunch of fools.[/QUOTE] Why don't they deserve to be rich? Phil made duck calls out of wood in a shed and his son turned it into a successful business.

When you find a new show to watch, do you immediately research every actor to make sure their views are aligned with yours?

[QUOTE=Shark Bones;43227147]Mindless fun until the guy becomes famous and people start listening to his idiotic, homophobic bullshit.[/QUOTE] It's not as if the point of the show is to forward his homophobic beliefs.

What do you expect from a old timer in the south? Jesus christ people.

Under Jim Crow... Alright they next person to act like I'm under Jim Crow learns a life lesson.

I'm not surprised at all, he's a Republican ultra-Christian, he's been a preacher for years too and one of his sons (the one not on the show) is a priest. The show is still hilarious, they make some of apparently the world's best duck calls, and I really have no idea how anyone expected anything else from him.

[QUOTE=Crabpeoples;43227308]What do you expect from a old timer in the south? Jesus christ people.[/QUOTE] You can be old and be a decent, tolerant person. Being old isn't an excuse to be a hatemongering piece of shit, this is such a stupid mindset.

[QUOTE=HawkeyeTy;43227607]Being old isn't an excuse to be a hatemongering piece of shit, this is such a stupid mindset.[/QUOTE] Nobody is excusing him, calm down, he's stating that "This is pretty typical of deep south old people so it shouldn't be a surprise" You guys need to take your fingers off the triggers, wow.
