But that doesn't make the repercussions correct or justified.

| He said what he wanted to, and the network suspended him - both seem to be very much within their rights. Or are you trying to say the network had no right to suspend him/terminate him? |
Only if you want to put words into my mouth. I didn't say anything about the network but spoke only about rights and how they apply.
But let's consider your point. It all depends. In this given example, no the network had no right to suspend Robertson because their reaction was based upon social pressure not justice, an actual law violation, and it was done to keep a perceived image.
There was nothing in Robertson's words that warranted such action but since people these days like to distort and re-interpret other people's words the network's reaction was against the distortion of his words not what was really said.
This distortion and re-interpretation of other people's words is a big problem and is used to bully those people who a). bring the truth, b) disagree with the one doing the bullying.
In this case, the homosexual community did not like to hear the truth and took action in order to pursue their lifestyle guilt free and in delusion.
What makes it even more wrong is that the homosexual community has often claimed to be the victim of bullying, harassment, discrimination and so on; yet when the shoe is on the other foot, they do not treat people who disagree with them how they desire to be treated but take up the mantle of the inquisitors and bully, harass, discriminate against those they claim have offended them.
If someone was a psychologist this whole scenario would be a great case study in hypocrisy and doing unto others as they have been done unto. |
What "truth" are you speaking about? What truth did this Duck Dude talk about?
By all means, pontificate away about your "truths" regarding homosexuality... |

Dude can say what he wants.
Network can employ who it wants.
What's the big deal? |

The big deal is-- violating people's rights and censorship. |

What rights? The right to be employed by a private business no matter what you say or do? When did that become a right? |

Its obviously not a right.

It's funny. I was flipping through channels and saw the new commercial for DD. The narrator says: Duck Dynasty is BACK AGAIN!
The old man was sitting in a rocking chair, with all his cammo gear on staring at the camera with a smile on his face, a smile that said: "I WON".
haha. |

Reminds me of the chikfila controversy last year. Heard from my sister cars were lined up around the block in support of chikfila  |
