Of course not. You seem to be having trouble distinguishing differences today. There is a difference between resigning and being fired.
Pressure and threats from GLAAD and HRC.
Oh...wait....do you have PROOF? Internal memos....showing that "threats...allow A&E to suspend?Pressure and threats from GLAAD and HRC.
You tell us, you're the one asserting to have the knowledge. And no, not all contracts have what you call "personal contract clauses".
Well, let's face it, half the outrage isn't his comments, but rather his religion. If he was a Muslim, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
I think at least a third of the outrage comes from the perception he's a uneducated, back-water hick, something the elitist Left can't stomach. 8)
I would call getting someone fired from their job....intolerance.
Truth is Gays don't like being shown their flaws.
People are often given the option to resign instead of being fired. You can't possibly be serious in following this obtuse line of argument. Everyone knows Brashir was forced to resign. Sheesh, you Righties are a trip.
LOL....YOU signed one.....yet you want to speculate.....that Ducky did not!sure they exist. I signed one for my current job. fact is, you have no idea what is or is not in his contract with A&E. you were talking out your ass and now you are embarrassed because you've been caught with your pants down and can't back it up.
You are speculating that I am incorrect...even while you confirm the common use of the very thing I believe is at hand.I have no idea. I'm not the one who made any claims about it.
Not really. It's a thought association. It automatically throws that particular sin in with the others. However, homosexuality has become associated with only some *certain* sins, sins which the speakers happens to proclaim to not violate. It's a way of lumping together, say, pedophilia, bestiality, or rape.
If you want to practice this, all you have to do is subtract a few key ingredients and put in others. "Gun owners are part of a national sickness like racism, rape, and murder."
Ooooh....original.dude should change his username to "Ican'thandlethetruth"

How is this one different from Paula Dean's firing from the Food Network - racist or bigot....all the same!
Wow, never thought I'd agree with TMZ, which is in my mind pretty much a snake pit.
And do you know why they are offerred that option? Because there's a difference between resigning and being fired.
I'm not arguing anything, just reminding you that you can't play fast and loose with the facts without getting called on it.
Wrong. You are attempting to grade or rank sins, by noting that some are more serious (also criminal acts) than others, and then accusing him of not comparing the severity of sins when he was simply listing some of them. I may say that crimes include trespass, arson, jaywalking and murder yet that is not implying, in any way, that all crimes should have the same sentence or that I have listed all crimes. Just as all sins are not crimes, all crimes are not sins - there is overlap but that is not relevant to discussion of either sin or crime.
I don't recall saying he was fired. What I said was that he was "dumped" and "let go". Being forced to resign qualifies.
calamity said:Both are outrageous comments that got them fired. I at least agree both are outrageous comments that should get them fired. You, not so much, preferring to fire the person making the comment you did not like while preserving the job of the guy who said what you do like. That defines hypocrisy.
LOL....YOU signed one.....yet you want to speculate.....that Ducky did not!
Go away.
You are speculating that I am incorrect...
even while you confirm the common use of the very thing I believe is at hand.
Ooooh....original.
Now you speculate on truth.....how ironic.
let's not bring theology into the debate.
as an athiest, the debate would center around the terms knowledge and religion, and how they don't relate
I've heard this "sins are equal" line. It's mostly cute, but I do not believe you will find a single person that literally approaches the problem this way. All you have to do is find one instance where he expresses the thought that one is higher than the other, and the system crumbles.
Post 883 for one, then you went on in several others about how he was "let go".
How is this one different from Paula Dean's firing from the Food Network - racist or bigot....all the same!
What are you talking about? Nobody said that sins are equal, just as nobody said that crimes are equal. The argument that you, and others, are attempting to make is that because Phil Robertson listed some sins including homosexual acts, swindling and adultery in a single sentence that they are being somehow equated in severity. That is the logical fallacy that I am pointing out and objecting to. To assert that because he left out murder, in his sin examples, then he must not consider it a sin is equally insane.
