'Duck Dynasty' Star Willie Robertson To Guest On Fox News
Source: Huffington Post
NEW YORK (AP) "Duck Dynasty" star Willie Robertson will talk about his outspoken father as he helps Fox News Channel ring in the new year.
The network says Robertson and wife Korie will be guests on the "All-American New Year" special Fox News is airing Tuesday night.
The couple will appear live from Steamboat Springs, Colo., to discuss the recent brief suspension of "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson from the hit A&E reality series. His nine-day removal resulted from anti-gay comments Robertson made in GQ magazine. A firestorm was set off among his legions of defenders who felt he was being censored by the network.
A&E reinstated him last Friday.

Hate-mongering misogynistic pedophilia is not just a friend of A&E.

(1,991 posts)WTF are you talking about? Korie was 18 and Willie was 19 when they married in 92.

(455 posts)Do you think that FOX news just picked 'ole Willie randomly to be on their news show and that it has nothing to do with him supporting his father's views?
Ranchemp.
(1,991 posts)For that matter, has anyone here ever heard a racist or bigoted word from Willie's mouth?
His dad is a hate mongering racist, but that doesn't mean his sons are.
meanit
(455 posts)Honestly, why do you think FOX news has Willie on?
Ranchemp.
(1,991 posts)That's natural, that doesn't mean they support his views, so, I'll again ask, have you ever heard one bigoted, racist word for ANY of Phil's sons mouths?
meanit
(455 posts)I haven't heard one thing come out of Willie's mouth either way actually, but he publicly supports his father.
What do you think "supports" means? That Willie has to hold his dad in an upright position?
Ranchemp.
(1,991 posts)the family supports his right to his views, even if they don't support those views?
meanit
(455 posts)It was about A&E not wanting to be associated with an employee who has those kind of views.
Funny how the right wingers who could care less about employee rights are suddenly all up in arms about an employee getting fired.
Where was all of the outrage when "liberal" employees were being fired (and still are) from lucrative tv programs?
Ranchemp.
(1,991 posts)it was never about his right to speak his views, but I'll ask one more time, has anyone here heard any of Phil's sons espouse any racist, bigoted words?
If not, then why all the hatred towards Willy?
meanit
(455 posts)but the fact that Willie "stands behind" his father in this incident, and that the right wing has made Phil Robertson into some kind of folk hero, as well as the totally partisan-Republican FOX news channel booking Willie for an interview, makes him rather suspect in my opinion.
Lie down with dogs and all that....
Ranchemp.
(1,991 posts)but there's no proof that he shares the same views as Phil does and until I see proof, I'm willing to give him and his brothers the benefit of the doubt.
meanit
(455 posts)this ordeal has been totally exploited by the right. Conservatives stick together like glue and FOX usually doesn't get upstaged - they get what they pay for. Their track record says it all.
Giving the right wing the "benefit of the doubt" usually translates into weakness and another punch in the teeth to Democrats and progressives.
Ranchemp.
(1,991 posts)I'm not giving the RW the benefit of the doubt, I'm giving the Robertson boys the benefit of the doubt.
Big difference.

you have been clear that you are only giving the benefit of the doubt to the Robertson boy's views and not their father's.
I'm the one who's saying that it's all an orchestrated RW crock of shit and that it's a waste of time to entertain any of their individual views over this.
They are all paddling the same boat.

(38,458 posts)Not a peep. Not one freaking peep. And the fact they were going on some sort of boycott against A & E tells me they agreed with dear old dad. Did you miss that?

(1,991 posts)Have you ever heard one homophobic, racist, bigoted word out of Willie's mouth? For that matter, any of Phil's son's mouths?
If so, please provide a link to it.
Phil is a bigoted, racist homophobic asshole, no doubt, but that doesn't mean that his son's share his views.

Never heard of A&E advocating Jim Crow era laws or gay hate or marrying 15 year olds girls yet they give a worldwide platform for PR to spew that shit.
They are just as guilty as he is and so is the entire family if they defend his evil bile, which they are of course.
Its all about the Benjamins for the family and A&E. Hate sells and thats all they care about.

(6,917 posts)Okay...enough about Saint Phil and his right to mouth off about things he is ignorant about---which are most things.
But there are some of us who have a giant objection to his business of duck-killing for sport. And not to start a totally different rant, but I consider his business of hunting and killing ducks barbaric and offensive. I know the arguments and can respect others love of "sport", but I totally disagree and think the most offensive thing about the whole family is the millions they make being animal-killers. And it is that callousness to animals that makes it easy to also hate other humans.
And only on DU can I say this without being bombarded with hate mail.
Ranchemp.
(1,991 posts)the Robertson's eat everything they hunt, they abhor sport hunting.
I hunt all my meat, including Elk, Deer, Rabbit, and many game birds, that's not sport hunting.

Ranchemp.
(1,991 posts)My wife watches the show, every episode, Ms. Kay cooks every thing that the family hunts.
There's no doubt that Phil is a bigoted, racist asshole, but they do believe that the food they hunt provides the family with sustenance.

(32,062 posts)It is not real. I can't believe I have to explain this to someone on DU.

(2,952 posts)Scroll down the article and there is a picture of Si napping on a couch underneath two mounts....those are trophies....at least that's what we called them in east Texas...trophy bucks...not trying to argue your point and yes it isn't Willie, but I've never met a hunter who didn't keep a prize rack. Yes we ate what we shot too, I'd imagine those two bucks in the picture didn't go to waste either, but modern man doesn't need to hunt unless he chooses to do so. If you brag about that big buck to your friends, it's a competition...a sport...it was bragging rights...no different than football really.
Whether Willie will come out like Phil time will tell. Ranchemp I get where you're coming from about Phil's vrs Willies views and support....Phil being the crazy uncle you see only on the holidays but have to love because he's family. Frankly though, the vacuume of silence is going to raise doubts....Willie or Si or any one of them could have said " that's Phil's opinion, not mine...I support his right to say it" , being both supportive and their own man at the same time. But to each their own.
Phil's managed to alienate a segment of the population who could have cared less three weeks ago. His thoughts are out there for all to see. Those alienated will be watching for the next step, whatever that may be.
I'm just happy I'm not getting all of the "I stand with Phil" POUTRAGE posts on Facebook anymore...since he's back on air next season anyhow....
