Phil Robertson, star of A&E’s ‘Duck Dynasty’, said he’s humbled by President Obama’s support, after losing his job due to comments about homosexuality.

(2013-12-19) — Calling A&E’s suspension of ‘Duck Dynasty’ patriarch Phil Robertson “a chilling crackdown on free speech in an artistic community that should value individual expression,” President Barack Obama today urged the Arts & Entertainment network to reinstate Robertson immediately, and to apologize for its “hypocrisy.”

“There are no bigger fans of Duck Dynasty than Michele and me,” Obama said. “And while I have my disagreements with Mr. Robertson’s views on homosexuality, as expressed in GQ magazine, I’ll defend with my last breath Robertson’s right to express those views.”

The White House acknowledged that the private company has the right to fire Robertson for expressing his opinion, based on the Bible, that homosexuality is one kind of sin among many.

“But the president felt compelled to speak out,” said press secretary Jay Carney, “because his silence might be perceived as assent among his many entertainment industry supporters who hold freedom of expression in the highest esteem.”

Indeed, the Screen Actors Guild, Writers Guild of America and dozens of A-list movie and TV stars issued news releases or held press conferences echoing the president’s call to let Robertson return to the highest-rated show in the history of cable television.

“A chill wind is blowing in this nation,” said actor-director Tim Robbins. “It’s great to see President Obama speaking out against ideological intimidation that masquerades as tolerance and diversity.”

i have never seen duck dynasty, but i do have a hand carved duck phone

that quacks when a call comes in.

i listened to the interview he had and heard whjat he said about the good old

days and the vagina vs anal sex. almost half the country are chistians so he is

talking to his peer group. the pope has a better understanding of gays and lesbiens

then this man does.

we live in a world, where most of the people are more inerested in feeding their children

and the lakers winning or losing or obama's affordable care act, means nothing to them.

the actor lives in a world that never existed, the good old days included killing 5 children\

in a church by bombing the church. an 8 year old boy was murdered because he whistled

at a white women, or so they say, and black people were called hey ****, get over here

by actually getting over there, instead of knocking the guy on his ass.

if you live long enhough and pay attention, there will be fewer surprises

Muslims do not hold homosexuality in very high regard, and politics makes for strange bedfellows.
