Sara Morrison at TheWire.com:
So Phil Robertson, patriarch of the Duck Dynasty clan and self-proclaimed "Bible-thumper," said a whole bunch of homophobic things in GQ's new issue:
It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man's anus. That's just me. I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.
and:
Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men ... Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive yourself. It’s not right.
Then he went off to a "private Bible study" with a female cocaine addict who needed to be shown "the right direction."
[...]
Also deserving of our attention are Robertson's comments about the lives of black people in pre-Civil-Rights-era Louisiana, which are ignorant, bordering on racist. His outrageous comments on homosexuality largely overshadowed this. They shouldn't:
I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. We're going across the field.... They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!... Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.
Yes, I'm so sure black people were "singing and happy" and never had to deal with any kind of "mistreatment" whatsoever. Maybe he never heard them complain about "these doggone white people" because they were afraid to? Why am I even bothering to question this nonsense?
Anyway, A&E has decided to put the star of its highest-rated show on "indefinite hiatus" from filming. Mind you, it hasn't placed the entire show on indefinite hiatus -- just [Phil] Robertson.
Phil Robertson will be off of Duck Dynasty for the forseeable future, but the rest of cast will go on for Season 5. Expect Willie and Alan Robertson to lead the end-of-episode prayers.
Idiot Loesch's excuse-making for Phil Robertson explained:
Seems like critics of #PhilRobertson are the true “anti” crowd here. @DuckDynastyAE

Imagine if Phil Robertson actually said something hateful, like, oh I don’t know, Alec Baldwin did.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
Alec Baldwin was fired by MSNBC for his hateful outburst.
An aside, I don't believe in mass boycotts. Never have, never will. I do believe in publicly shaming @aetv though for its treatment of Phil.

“We never, ever judge someone on who’s going to heaven, hell. That’s the Almighty’s job. We just love ’em." - Phil Robertson

Robertson directly quoted 1 Corinthians 6:9-20. If you have a problem with this quote take it up with God.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
If you think Robertson's 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 quote is "hate speech" then you accuse God of "hate speech" because it's His Word.

The left has been itching to get at the Robertsons since they first began gaining popularity. Spiritual salmon against the current.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
Excuse me, Dana, but some leftists/progressives (including me) LIKE Duck Dynasty and the Robertson Family.
Does @AETV believe that Scripture is "hate speech?"
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
Homophobia IS hate speech, Dana!
So @AETV caves to groups that excused Alec Baldwin for "toxic little queen" (and other actual slurs) slams Robertson for Scripture?
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
An insult to thinking people to claim that quoting Scripture and giving an opinion is "anti." The thought bigots are here!
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
The world wants to shame Christians into the shadows for simply quoting Scripture and talking faith-based beliefs.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
The show that gives @AETV its biggest ratings and this network wants to cower before hypocritical groups who excused actual Baldwin slurs.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
And shame on anyone on the right that acquiesces to this ridiculous circus of false tolerance garbage.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
Heaven forbid media outlets print Phil Robertson's other quote: https://t.co/BnI1gjHl4j
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
Hatred assigned to Christians comes by way of progressive projection. Christians not called to hate. # 1 most repeated commandment is "love"

Please don't pretend to be a conservative and demand that I modify my religious beliefs to fit your PC version of God. Won't happen.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
BREAKING NEWS: straight man finds women more attractive, quotes Scripture. @AETV
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
Newsflash: the only "imposing" going on here is a network imposing PC silence on a man for his faith-based beliefs.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2013
I'm more worried about offending God than I am of offending you.
