I forgot my place.

Christians are the only group in the left in the that can be pissed on and discriminated against.

so sorry mr homosexual, I promise never to offend your sensitive ears. I promise to never say I prefer women to men, that's so bigoted of me, please please forgive me.

Don't cry about it....you're earning your way to heaven, it's not a free ride.
 
Oh noez, I thought it was a two way street? No? oh well, too bad for you.

It should be a two way street.

But people get away with calling people rednecks and hillbillies without fear of being called a bigot. (or if a 'public' figure tarred and feathered).

Call someone a f-g, and your a hate filled intolerant bigot.

Build a house and nobody calls you a homebuilder, but kill ONE guy and you're a murder for life! It's so UNFAIR!
 
Y'know those darkies had it really good before all that civil rights nonsense. They were really happy and never sang the blues.

the stupidity of the left on display.

redneck - ok
hillbilly - ok

f-g - bad.


Redneck hillbillies need to contact the gay communities spin misters to get the public to stop hating on them.
 
what i'm asking is why is it still acceptable to call someone a redneck or hillbilly.

Dunno, file a petition with the PC department. while you're at it, ask them to create a new slang word you can use for homosexual people...just so you and your buddies can slander around the water cooler.
 
I dunno.....there's a shit storm on social media and from what I am seeing most of it is in support of Phil. When we get to the point where nobody can express what they believe in anymore, people might just stop talking. If a gay or lesbian person has the right to express themselves and can be just as in your face about it, then to me a Christian has every much right to express that he doesn't agree with them. The double standards and the PC bullshit are what I have a problem with. Stations peddle absolute smut and promote crappy role models for kids, yet someone who stands for his principles is ridiculed and disciplined? It's not right.

A gay or lesbian person supporting their own right not to be told their going to hell for the way they were born on a nationally syndicated television show is a little bit different from a bigot supporting his own right to bash gays and blacks on that same show. There is nothing christian about his views. There is nothing in the christian bible that supports him, and there is nothing principled about his views on blacks being treated great by jim crow.


The idea that just because stations peddle "bullshit smut" means that they should allow racism and sexism is ludicrous. How exactly is he a good role model? He's deplorable, disgusting, and ignorant.

How did all that social media "backlash" work out for Paula Deen? Yeah I thought so.
 
Just more of the same old you're a bigot for calling out the bigotry argument. Man that gets old.

Great logic there, how am I a bigot again? I'm sorry to break this to you but idiocy is not a sexual orientation, race, or religion (although in your case, you could call it the latter of those three).
 
I guess the moral of the story here is that calling someone a i love you is free speech, but calling someone a bigot for calling people fags makes you a bigot.

Did I get that right?
 
More of that civil rights stuff going on in the South while Phil was growing up before the federal government came in a ruined the good ole' days...

But, you know, they just wanted a shower and those fireman were kind enough to hose them down, right? And those dogs were nice puppies, they used the 1962 release of photoshop CS.01 to edit it and make it look they were sicking vicious police dogs when in reality they were actually cute puppies.



This thread shows very clearly which "side" has the more intelligent people on it. Half the posters supporting Phil can't type a complete sentence, let alone a cogent argument.

You realize he didn't express his views on the show right? It was in a magazine interview.

Maybe you should read the article and understand what actually happened before ranting for hours.

Mostly, but calling someone a bigot for calling someone a i love you actually makes you worse than a bigot. It makes you an intellectual and a liberal.



It's a sad state of affairs when the most common insult the conservatives pitch is to basically call somebody educated.

Where do you think he was going to express his bigotry next? The New Yorker? He said the stuff TO A JOURNALIST knowing full well it was going to be published. He took his stand, said his piece, and guess what? The rational majority of americans think he is just that, a bigot. Gay marriage is supported by most americans, PERIOD. Don't like it? Move to Mexico, we'd love to be rid of your whining.

And that makes a difference how? If I call my boss an asshole at work or call him an asshole on Twitter, what do you think would happen?
