Phil Robertson to Speak at GOP Convention

[TheComebackKid]

This is just sad...

Its one thing to stand up for someone who is being witchhunted by overly pc zealots. Its another to give him a microphone and a platform to speak at your conference. It tells me that the GOP is hopelessly tone deaf and are going to stay that way.

Should have got Uncle Si, IMO

I was just thinking, Pat Roberts, Goddamnit, what are they thinking.....

GOP is clueless. People who hate on gays are a dying demographic.

 

[TheComebackKid]

Well Americans were correct in coming to his defense over the initial comments that got him in trouble but they don't need to now try and use him as a spokesperson for the party or for an issue.

I can't imagine him having much of anything substantive to add.

It's not just that, it is "who are they trying to win over?"

Is this a future grab to appease Conservative voters after an immigration screw job? That would be my only guess.

 

[oldshadow]

Depends on what he says. When was the last time a gay rights activist voted R.
It could be a real fuck up or not it depends.

Phil doesn't hate gays. He believes that homosexual activity is sinful as the Bible says it is. Phil also has said that he loves gays.

Given the list of people they had speaking in various capacities in 2012, why is anyone surprised? The GOP even at that late date was implicitly endorsing birther nonsense.

Robertson's comments go well beyond homosexuality as well, his head is as far up his ass when it comes to race as well. Him and Bundy are on the exact same page.

 

[second sight]

it's better than jeb bush or chris christie, I hope he took both their spots

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

Sometimes I wonder if the GOP is intentionally losing...throwing the fight and/or taking a dive so to speak...

I wonder what IDL has to say about it.

 

[second sight]

What did Robertson say about race?

he said his black grandson isn't welcome in his house

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

I wonder what IDL has to say about it.

He would say the Gop and Dem represent the same interests and all pay homage to the same corporate lobbyists and banker groups.

 

[TheComebackKid]

Yikes, no real defending that unless of course this was taken out of context

What world do you live in? Support for gay rights is ever-increasing.
