And you know his education on world affairs how? He is an educated man.

I'm not defending him. But I do respect the fact that he DGAF if he offends people with his religion.

It's more fun to be outraged about a pizza tweet, I guess. There are tons of idiots that have platforms to talk about shite that they have no business talking about, yet they still do it every day.

So does my mother... She isn't expected or has a platform to speak on world affairs though.

How come it seems like conservatives are the only ones that have to apologize?

It means that Phil Robertson does not have the same level of worldwide popularity as Kim Kardashian.

So is monsterballads going to show up and eat his crow? That guy made a complete arse of himself in the thread about this story when it first came up on here. I don't even like Phil Robertson and that buffoon had me defending him due to the shear common sense that he was not demanding Muslims either "convert or die."

Because liberals are always outraged and pissed off about something?

Phil is free to his opinion.

Everything he views is regurgitated through his interpretation of "the word of god". If you ask him certain questions then expect certain answers. I don't want to see him or hear about him because I know his religious platform. He will always say things controversial and it's up to people how much they want to watch a male Sarah Palin.

That's a silly comparison. Sarah Palin is far more accomplished and intelligent than Phil Robertson.

he's talking about converting to christianity. he's a christian. why would he want them to convert to anything else? he believes his religion is the only true one.

that wouldn't make any sense.

all i'm saying is it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what phil was implying. and I would guarantee you he would have zero problems clarifying it to anyone who asked him.

maybe someone will ask him and he'll spell it out for you since that's apparently what you need to hear.

Paging monsterballads.

If I heard him correctly, I think Robertson said that he has to travel around with "armed men" these days.
Don't shed too many tears for him. He knows exactly what he is doing, and he's making more money than most of us here doing it.

I didn't say he does or doesn't. I don't know enough about him to know. That wasn't your question though.

TK421, wouldn't that mean you can't talk about world affairs either?
