Camille Paglia, a feminist, lesbian professor, harshly criticized the suspension of Phil Robertson for his statements supporting the traditional Christian view of sɛҳuąƖity, saying such condemnation rejects the free speech.

“If people are basing their views against gαys on the Bible, again they have a right of religious freedom there,” Paglia said in a Dec. 19 radio interview on the Laura Ingraham Show.

Paglia is a professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and has described herself in the past as a “dissident feminist” as well as lesbian.

She spoke out against the treatment of the treatment of Robertson, who was placed on “indefinite hiatus” from Duck Dynasty, a reality show about his family, by A&E for his statements calling ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ behavior sinful and illogical in an interview with GQ Magazine for its January edition, released online Dec. 18.

Robertson’s comments lead to vocal opposition from many LGBT organizations, including GLAAD, which called the statements “some of the vilest and most extreme statements uttered against LGBT people in a mainstream publication.”

Paglia asserted that “people have the right to free thought and free speech in a democratic country” to express themselves in interviews, adding that she thinks “that this intolerance by gαy activists toward the full spectrum of human beliefs is a sign of immaturity, juvenility.”

“In a democratic country, people have the right to be homophobic as well as they have the right to support ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity — as I one hundred percent do,” Paglia stated.

She said the call for censorship of Robertson by some groups is a demonstration of the “punitive PC, utterly fascist, utterly Stalinist” trends within left-leaning organizations “over the last several decades,” saying “the whole legacy of free speech” had been “lost” by these groups.

People should foster respect for opposing viewpoints, Paglia commented.

“I’m an atheist, but I respect religion.”

Harsh criticism and condemnation of some points of view “is not the mark of a true intellectual life,” Paglia went on.

“This is why there is no cultural life now in the U.S.,” she said, adding that the major media and elites “are not being educated in any way to give respect to opposing view points.”

“There is a dialogue going on human civilization, for heaven sakes. It’s not just this monologue coming from fanatics who have displaced the religious beliefs of their parents into a political movement.”

“And that is what happened to feminism, and that is what happened to gαy activism, a fanaticism.”

CNA giving a platform to a lesbian, regardless if what she says is good or not.

Disgusting, and why I don't bother reading their drivel.

Do you mean her lifestyle is disgusting or the fact that she thinks that Dynasty Duck people have been treated unfairly?

Duck Dynasty  had the  Zac Brown Band on their TV show. The Duck boys didn't seem all that upset that the Zac Brown Band blasphemed the Virgin Mary on their album cover art.

I started this; let me add what I found before we continue discussing this farce of a show. I am sorry for having brought it up. Though two things: thanks for the excellent general comments about Catholic persecution, which is what I had thought this was about, and Poche, gotta say that Camille Paglia is one sick broad who you should NEVER read or pay attention to (if you already do, this is a definite dust-and-ashes moment for you; I say that for your own good; she's a liar), and ClarkSmith, thanks for the comment about DD using Zac Brown Band in their FAKE REALITY SHOW.

It is ALL fake. There was an article on Daily Kos today that makes liars of the DD "actors" and calls into question people they represent, and I am thoroughly ASHAMED for not researching this a LOT MORE before posting. I do despise that Catholics are being persecuted for saying the truth, which is that sodomy will earn you HELL. But these Duck Dynasty people are complete frauds. I've added the pictures below, and they alone (to me) tell the story. (Warning about the link: DK is NOT a Catholic-friendly zone).

:sad:

Duck Dynasty men before the show started:

"The brothers"


"Willie and Korie"


"Jep and Jessica"


"Jase and Missy"


And after:

"Willie and Korie"


"Jep and Jessica"


"Jase and Missy"


I am glad I do not watch Disney, A&E, or Hollywood junk; I am sorry I brought this topic up because of the vitriol and hatred that these frauds will have brought our way before this is all said and done. If I had horses and rope... I am sorry for making this post. I believe the entire "stink", now, is Hollywood's way of testing the waters to see "how far" they've come in brainwashing the American public. (Answer: not far enough, so they'll lay it on thicker with the "two dads" and other LIES OF SATAN.) I played RIGHT into Hollywood's hand, and for that, I am most grievously sorry.

Oh, and I'm GLAD I never watched this tripe.

You thought it was for real ?

All reality TV is staged. Even the Survivor series used stunt doubles.

Duck Dynasty  had the  Zac Brown Band on their TV show. The Duck boys didn't seem all that upset that the Zac Brown Band blasphemed the Virgin Mary on their album cover art.

Many Protestants down South especially the Baptists hate Catholics.    Cross burning kkk.  

Those pics on the sand with the white shirts are very common for that area.  I don't know that it's 100% manufactured.
 I know nice ladies from the South who believe interracial marriage is wrong, it's not something they whisper about, they would be painted as a racist. People are generally more conservative compared to other areas. They are pro-public school and into big local government, seems like often there is no economy other than gov and hospitals or military. There is still a stronger Protestant influence than in the Northeast giving the people more traditional values when you compare.

Another "scandal": a couple years ago he said that men should look to marry bible-toting teenage girls who know how to cook.

Initially, Phil’s suggestions seem fairly innocuous, albeit a bit out of date. Advising male audience members on choosing the perfect wife, Phil says that prospective husbands should look for young women who carry Bibles with them at all times. Also, he believes in ladies finding their way to guys’ hearts through their stomachs. “Make sure that she can cook a meal, you need to eat some meals that she cooks.” And if the gal knows a thing or two about ducks, Phil views her as practically perfect in every way.

According to Phil, finding a wife with all of these qualities is not possible for guys setting their sites on women in their early 20s. He thinks that women of this age are more interested in picking pockets than picking ducks. Instead, he advises, “You got to marry these girls when they are about 15 or 16.” Phil does add that grooms-to-be should check with parents before marrying teenage girls, but that tidbit’s not enough to appease those who have taken offense to his promotion of teenage marriage.
