Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson: I’m just ‘trying to help those poor’ gays ‘and turn them to Jesus’

Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson explained over the weekend that people had misunderstood the intent of his homophobic comments because he was just “trying to help those poor souls and turn them to Jesus.”

Speaking at the Rock the South festival Cullman, Alabama on Saturday, Robertson defended comments he made to GQ magazine last year comparing homosexuality to bestiality and adultery.

Robertson had argued that “a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus,” and said that LGBT people “won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”

On Saturday, Robertson told the crowd that he was “actually a nice man,” according to the Birmingham News.

“I’m trying to help those poor souls and turn them to Jesus,” he said.

adultery, and Duck dickwad broke that one regularly. So he should lead HIMSELF to "Jesus".

What an assclown.

Provided he is indeed without sins of his own. Otherwise, being less than perfect, perhaps this nice guy Robertson should be more intent on saving himself.

Shave that hair on his face that hangs down to his belly button and stop looking like something that roamed the earth thousands of years ago.
