Phil Robertson Fired

[Vteckidd]

Question to Blank: Just curious to hear your personal opinion. Did you find the answers given by Phil to be hate speech against homosexuals? Did you find any of his answers/comments to be racist against blacks?

I think to myself, WHY THE FUCK WAS HE ASKED ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE ? Do I really care what he has to say? Why even ask it? It was a trap, they he fell into. he though he was being funny, but in reality, he should understand that hes representing the brand and the network he works for. His personal opinions are fine, but consequences follow actions.

You see it as a trap, something to be used against him by the " gays, blacks, socialists, left,ect.." and that he was suckered into it. Truth is, to him it was an opportunity to share what his faith teaches him and to do as Jesus commissioned...to go out into the world and share the gospel.

Every action has consequences...that is how life works. He knew what he was saying and he stuck to his beliefs. I applaud him for doing so.

right to free speech is not congruent to right to work.

He also didnt JUST say "I believe what the bible teaches ETC ETC ET ETC"

He went into much more detail, and made fun of gays. if he would have just stuck to being factual (by his beliefs, what he believes to be true) A&E would have had no way to suspend him.

I read the article...did i miss where he made fun of gays? This guy was interviewed, asked controversial questions, and then answered them. If you were given an assignment by your professor to give your personal opinion of gay marriage and gays in society today...should you be flunked or expelled for giving your personal opinion because your paper was offensive to the LGBT community?

Terrible analogy.

Care to elaborate....what is the difference?

Blank: You stated "Meaning there was zero truth in what he was implying." I am confused as to whether you are referring to Phil or the interviewer from GQ.

All of Phil's disparaging comments and implications were grossly inaccurate and/or anecdotal.

How is one's personal opinion about a subject to be considered inaccurate? Can you please quote him where his opinion was inaccurate?
You also say that his comments were disparaging and anecdotal; again, his personal opinion was given on a question the interviewer asked...how is that degrading? Also, your use of anecdotal is incorrect...he was asked for his opinion/thoughts on the matters...
