    Phil Robertson bullied nobody. You just want him punished for not going along with your ideology.

    They have to keep LYING about what Roberson actually said, to keep the Liespeak Attack going, PER USUAL, standard Gay Guevara tactic.

    Notice when challenged to QUOTE him "hating" anyone...nothing but DANCING....

    Just because we don't want to boot them out of the country or prevent them from building mosques doesn't mean we support their beliefs. If a Muslim came on here preaching against homosexuality I doubt there is a single progressive here who wouldn't stand up to him.

    Being tolerant of a mosque being built doesn't mean we have to be tolerant to sharia law

    Progressives claim to be tolerant, but they won't tolerate views that they don't agree when they come from groups who doesn't share their political ideology. That's not real "tolerance", it's only politics. That's how we know that progressive claims of tolerance are a joke.

    He likened homosexuality to bestiality. He absolutely bullied people. He's contributing to a culture of hate that have forced gays to keep their relationships and their life a secret.

    No, you're just hating him because of his religious beliefs. That's much better.

    It has nothing to do with agree or disagree. Your views are forcing my friends into hiding in the closet when all they want to do is be open and without shame about the people they love like everyone else. I will absolutely be tolerant of your view for lower taxes on the rich. Or less social welfare. I'll disagree strongly with it but you have the right to those views.

    You do not have the right to contribute to a culture that is bullying Americans into hiding.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Religion is a (*)(*)(*)(*) poor excuse for bullying people. Westboro church doesn't get a freeride for protesting soldier funerals. And neither should anyone trying to bully gays back in the closet. Act like an ass and you'll get treated like one. Has nothing to do with religion. You chose to follow a religion that makes you act like an ass.

    He called homosexuality a sin just like any other sin. That's a religious belief held by Christians. Are you saying Christians need to keep their beliefs a secret?

    He didn't say anything hateful, per se. He was expressing an opinion in a much milder way than you'd get from patrons of any good ol' boy bar in Alabama.

    Homophobia -- modern day racism. Robertson is a bigot, plain and simple.

    They should keep their views on homosexuality a secret if they expect to keep their jobs.

    And science has no agenda? Science is guided by liberal activist groups... which is why you have a "consensus" on Global Warming, a "consensus" on Evolution, and a "consensus" on homosexuality being normal. Science sure seems like it's politically motivated.

    Sure I do. I view homosexuals in better light than pedophiles, but I believe both suffer from perversions that are harmful to society and should not be glorified or normalized in any way. Pedophiles claim to be born that way too and cannot control who they are attracted to, am I supposed to accept them and celebrate their attraction to children?

    Someone saying they don't support gay marriage isn't "bullying". It's an opinion, no different than claiming we should tax millionaires because they make too much money and we wants it precious.

    I doubt Phil is harboring latent homosexual urges. That's usually what gays and gay apologists claim whenever someone opposes their perversion. Probably wishful thinking.

    And Marxists should have kept their views a secret if they wanted to keep their jobs during the 50's.

    Really? Then how come Democrat Senator Robert "KKK" Byrd was allowed to use the "N" word on national tv twice....with absolutely ZERO consequences? In 2002, Byrd used the term "white (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" twice on national TV. There were ZERO calls for him to step down from the Senate; ZERO calls for a public apology, and ZERO outrage from the left. In fact, he continued to be a revered elder statesman of the Democrats and their party until the day he died.

    I an discriminated by gay marriage or straight marriage. Have you seen the tax rates those married folks get? Get the government out of marriage all together.

    Pedophilia is not a choice either. But it is a sexual preference that cannot be allowed to be acted out. Which is why pedophiles should not be judged until they actually commit the act. If we started treating sexual orientation as not a choice we could probably prevent a lot of child abuses from happening because pedophiles would be able to come clean about their temptations in a judge free environment and seek treatment rather than the instant hate they get now.


    It's simply an opinion that will not be allowed publicly for much longer. It's like coming out against interracial marriage. Enjoy your freedom to hate while it lasts. Because it won't take much longer.

    No it shouldn't.

    It doesn't disparage a race.... only a segment of it.

    And whites aren't really known to get all upset over harmless words.

    Straight whites I mean.

    Who forced their religious values on others? Having an opinion is likened to oppression?

    so surely you support firing these stars for expressing their opinion on homosexuality...

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/01/straight-celebrities-gay-rights_n_1559805.html


    or do you only think people who don't agree with you should be fired....

    what about this guy who got fired for his SUPPORT of gays
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...ncipal-gay-marriage-blog-ohio-_n_2662928.html

    are you upset that saying you support gay marraige can get you fired? do you consider that discrimination? Why is it different when someone speaks his opinion against your agenduh....

    seems when a teacher is fired for being gay (supporting it), gays think it's illegal and discrimination.....

    maybe had Michael Griffin taken the TaoOfBill's advice and "keep his views on homosexuality a secret if he expects to keep his job", he woulnd't have lost his job like Phil Robertson.

    No, I like the societal stigma that is reserved for those people. I want them to feel disgusted by their own views to the point where they change them. Your hand-holding strategy would just cause a normalization of their "orientation" in society.

    And why can't we allow this sexual preference to be carried out, but we have to allow homosexuality to be carried out? Who gets to decide?

    Or it could change again. I highly doubt Marxists expected the former Soviet Union to embrace the anti-homosexual policies that it has, but alas. I know you progressives believe your 1000 years of Marxism is here, ushered in by the glorious Obama, but when this house of cards comes crashing down, there is a correction coming.

    It's the calling of homosexuals sinners. I get it, in his religion it's a sin, but in other religions and in other cultures, homosexual relationships are valued above heterosexual relationships, which are seen as only necessary to reproduce. Calling other people sinners to me smacks of religious intolerance.
