Think there'll be raving responses to this piece?
That is insane, but to be expected considering they are a bunch of dumb rednecks.

He can say what ever he likes. But if he's going to spew bigoted nonsense then he's going to suffer the inevitable backlash. If someone likens homosexuality to bestiality I label him a bigot. Bigotry cloaked in religion is still bigotry.

Phil Robertson owns a million dollar corporation that he built with his own hands, he has a Master's Degree in Education and a BA as well and he's more intelligent than you'll ever dream of being. That dumb redneck has done very very well for himself and his entire family.

So you're ok with persecution and judgement after all?

Does he have the right to express his opinion, Yep.
Does AE have the right to pull him for the Show. Yep

Bottom line is that is not going to effect the shows base audience - I can see CMT or CBN picking up the show.

He made the bigoted comments. Saying the Christian belief that homosexuality is a sin is unfounded. As is the belief in god. That's not judgemental or persecution it's just a fact.

He didn't liken homosexuality to bestiality. He basically said that if we embrace homosexuality, what's next, bestiality? It's the slippery slope.
