Can you figure out the latest homophobic rant from Phil Robertson?
“For all you ladies in Texas, trust me when I tell you this: when you’re seated in your restroom, putting on your Maybelline, when I need to take a leak, I’m not going there,” he said this weekend at an rally organized to protest anti-discrimination laws.
(That’s right, it’s an anti-anti-discrimination rally. A pro-discrimination rally. They have those.)
The usual suspects were also in attendance: the Family Research Council (whose head says that gays are “operating outside of nature”), the National Organization for Marriage (which is hemorrhaging cash, so you might not have to hear about them for much longer), and the American Family Association (a leader of which called rainbows “the mark of the beast”).
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
There’s a gross rumor going around Houston’s ignorant church community that “men dressed as women” are invading bathrooms. This is obviously insane — what exactly do these people think that gay people do? — but it’s apparently suckered in some gullible idiots like Robertson.
Also apparently he thinks that women apply makeup while seated on the toilet? Sure, fine, why not.
The Duck Dynasty star who plays a friendsy, folksy fella on TV, but in reality he’s just another idiot millionaire, a one-percenter in hiding whose grasp on reality has slipped so far it’s essentially gibberish.
So this is the state of affairs in conservative religious America. We’re holding rallies to cheer about where some millionaire pees. Great job everyone.

the anti-trans/gay bathroom comments are completely baffling to me. all this talk about a “dude in a dress” infiltrating the ladies’ room makes no sense. If it were a guy trying to get a peek/some sexual thrills by being in a women’s bathroom, that would reflect poorly on STRAIGHT men. If it were, for some unknown reason, a gay guy dressing up as a woman and using the ladies’ restroom, it’s not like he would be interested in seeing anything in there anyway. If the person were trans, and happened to identify as lesbian–well, then it’d be no different than a cis lesbian woman using the bathroom anyway. Which as far as I can tell, they are still allowed to do.
so…why the fear/loathing/confusion/disgust/idiocy? The arguments don’t make sense, and I’m tired of hearing stupid people’s opinions.

Why is it with people such as Robertson, that you can go for years without hearing anything from them (if you don’t watch their program or whatever) but once they make one statement, then you can’t get them to shut up?

When an idiot like this states ‘so-and-so wants to do this or that’, I always wonder if it is HIS fantasy he’s afraid of!

There is a huge lie he’s just got it wrong. It’s that you must somehow respect any stupid idea that pops into these morons heads in the name of religion, this was troll bait I was using with the anti-gays on yahoo.
Lets get something “straight” NO One has to respect Anyone else’s Beliefs. The fact that you think it gives you some kind of pass to Hate on, disrespect and control others, is only going to open your beliefs to mockery and ridicule.
Respect and tolerance are not synonyms; tolerance is a very minimalist attitude whereas respect involves something more active and positive. You can think very negatively about something you tolerate, but there is something contradictory about thinking very negatively about the exact same thing you are also respecting. Thus, at the very least, respect requires that one have have positive thoughts, impressions, or emotions when it comes to the religion in question. This isn’t always reasonable.
I will tolerate religion, respect no. And tolerance doesn’t mean I can’t point out and make fun of its many FLAWS.
Farther the more you and your fellow Conservative Cult want to tell me or anyone else how your “loving” sky fairy is going to send us all to hell to torture forever, the more we want to tell you what you can do with gawd, rope, and livestock in your spare time.
If someone believed in Harry Potter I wouldn’t “respect” that either I’d put up with it till its started to cause problems, and mind you I like the Potter books more then I can say about the god delusion others are trying to force on us.

Why? There’s nothing in there we want. We are not voyeurs, at least not of women. His statement about compassion could be taken better if they weren’t such hypocrites about what they are. Millionaires posing as backwoods buffoons to have a TV show.

The only reason we would want in the ladies room is to stop him from raping another teenage girl.

FYI, that quote is from Rick Warren, not Phil Robertson. Other than that, I’m pretty much numb to this moron, but he’s still quite dangerous. Unfortunately, his like-minded brethren are in power now.

Phil Robertson is the most anti-God and anti-Christian spokesmen of the Evangelical cults. Only thing the Evangelicals agree about is they hate gays, Obama, and Progressives. Otherwise, they have no common beliefs. Everyone of their Preachers have different beliefs and their own ideas on what the Bible says. Their anti-science movement is another common idea. However, there are some who are not anti-science. This man pretends to be a man of God and yet does not follow Jesus teachings. He is a hater of all true Christians who follow the true Jesus. The only thing he and other Evangelicals know is to use the name of Jesus and then turn away from his teachings. They cherry pick from the Old Testament and use them to their beliefs to spread their hate. Robertson is what Jesus warned against as a false Preachers. He is taking his followers to HELL. Hate is a sin as bad as murder.

Hideous, hateful and stupid is no way to go through life, Mr. Duck Dynasty!

why does anyone care what this idiot says? If I got upset every time some moron said something stupid, I’d be upset 24/7. I’d rather just ignore it.
