this is offensive on so many levels.
let me guess bob,because a black man posted this,it must,therefore NOT be racist?

this is incredibly racist,because this man is basically saying that black folk are too stupid to make up their own minds.that they are chumps and sell-outs for simply always voting democrat.

because republicans have ALWAYS been a voice of reason and championed the underclass! right bob?

we could use the same logic and apply it to the mind-numbing meth-head hillbillies who get cock hard at the voice of trump.who are convinced that the republicans represent freedom,liberty and the constitution.

while those very same republicans consistently rob these people,of modest means mind you,to pay their buddies in wall street.who pass legislation to poison their water,dumb down their kids,create food deserts,incarcerate them (while giving their CEO buddies a pass and a slap on the wrist).continue to allow tax breaks and subsidies for their donors.passing laws allowing big corporations to send jobs to china and utilizing prison labor (slaves) and then BLAMING the people!

yeah bob,that coin turns both ways.

so the black man who blindly votes democrat can be criticized for his lack of foresight,but so can the aging white racist who consistently votes republican.

because neither the republican nor the democratic party give a flying fuck about either of you.

you both are sell-outs,chumps and uncle toms to a system that threw you both overboard 40 years ago.

fuck this video,and fuck you bob.

Only thing that would make this funnier was if that marathon was on Clinch Mtn and those hillbillys were camped out in front of the Clinch Mtn pool hall....

Too articulate, clean and aware of popular culture to be real Tennessee hillbillies.

Not sure if actual hillbillies or trolling hillbillies. =)

And Catfish, and hillbilly handfishing.

Cenk: "You know he meant bigoted[not racist], stop nitpicking stuff like that.."

NO, thats a crucial fucking point. Its not bigotry nor racism, it is criticism of a RELIGION, not a race, not a people, not a population, not a country, not a skin color , not a sex, , not a language, not a philia, not a fuckin skull shape. A religion. There is a crucial difference. If you cant see the difference, then I'm sorry: Try again.

The thing is, criticizing a bad idea, or a collection of bad ideas can never be racist nor bigoted.

That not to say that some people aren't irrationally hating and bigoted towards muslims, or people who look like they might be muslims, but that is a COMPLETELY different thing.

Everyone understands this in politics: if you think the republican party sucks, that doesnt mean you hate people with a texan accent. Still, I'm sure some people think people with a thick texan accent are automatically to be considered as racist hillbillies who vote republican. That's stereotyping and bigotry. Being anti-republican is not.

BTW, anyone bamboozled by Reza Aslans fantasies about islamic countries being equality paradises shoud read Muhammad Syed and Sarah Haiders dismantling of his distortions right here : http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2014/10/05/reza-aslan-is-wrong-about-islam-and-this-is-why/

Too many gun-toting hillbillies couldn't handle the truth.
OMG! somebody has a different opinion from me! let's make him lose his job and chase him out of the country!

dumbasses.

Oh and lilithia, it's fine the amounts and all, I can wing that shit with my eyes closed, AND...
After i read your recipe, it inspired me to write these lyrics to a tune I shall flesh-out in studio (as i have been prone to be up-in lately recording hillbilly music) this punk tune, and here's the gyst and general set up and lyrics...so far (and yes, you Lilithia, inspired this song, as will be reflected in the credits)

Two things in all this stand out as really worrisome to me. First off, the hateful quote was almost a paraphrasing of the bible. And not the old testament parts that Christianity will dismiss as being supplanted/fulfilled by the coming of Christ, but the new testament. First Timothy 9 and 10 are:

We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine...

It's not hating on gays or comparing them to murderers, it is just listing off a laundry list of behaviors deemed sinful and thus contrary to God's will. Even getting drunk and swearing count, so it's no more hateful against gays than it's hateful against any other non believers choices and lifestyles.

I am worried by our society as a majority looking upon that and either classing it as hatred, or worse still, using it to justify their hatred.

My next beef is the entire liberal side of the country that state like the guy in the video, freedom of speech doesn't mean A&E isn't also free to fire the guy for what he says. I don't disagree with that though. My problem is that if that same hillbilly came out and spoke about his abiding support for same-sex marriage and then A&E exercised their 'freedom' to fire him for his speech, those same Liberals would be up in arms at the injustice. That rankles me something fierce.

Ok firstly for ChaosEngine, your paraphrased quote of statements which voiced a sentiment I have had since engaging in conversation with seekers about the existence of 'God or no God': The same mechanism of filtering the words you read through your own belief system is a time-honored technique of the most fundamentalist of back-assward Christians and theologians who read the words of the Bible and fit them conveniently into their limited world view filtered through a similar limited and linear, perception of existence.

(*edit-I now realize that you did not in fact, paraphrase my statement rather, bcglorf's , but the sentiment remains true)

My statement was (and yes Dannym3142, that was NOT supposed to be a question mark, edited with the appropriate period): "I have a legitimate beef with rabid supporters of any particular ideology or philosophy when the shit becomes tiresome and repetitious when tinctured with rage and anger and intolerance."

Your paraphrase of sentiment ChaosEngine, "evangelical atheists are as bad as fundamentalists," then followed by "bollocks" (bullshit), is indicative to me of the rage and anger I attributed to the average atheist's consternation with these 'stupid', 'backwards', 'hillbillies' etc.,(who are too dumb or dense to wrap their heads around the very idea that an omnipresent uni-being does not exist, yadda yadda yadda.) Further, the example used 'When was the last time atheists shot a young girl for wanting to go to school?' to justify your position is reminiscent of any Southern Baptist preacher using similar extreme examples of the human condition to support their own arguments for the infallibility of their 'god'. The words used connote a similar intolerance and ignorance of that which is wholly metagnostic or, 'the unknowable' and I regard the mechanism as the selfsame dynamic.

"So, sorry if I'm not going to sit down and STFU about it." Good. It means you are on the path to enlightenment and intend to continue to seek truths which satisfy the gnawing curiosity that ALL humans are frought with in our tenure here on Earth. Keep at it.

dannym3142: (sorry for the question mark, it confused me as well when reading it again) I used Crowley and Planck's observations as an exercise in tossing a non-linear curve-ball into the circle-jerk of those whose search for absolute truth and the nature of the universe, of matter/non-matter, seemingly ended when they decided that it's a no-brainer as to whether or not faith has a place in the argument for or against the existence of a supreme being. Faith can't be argued either, we all need it to perform the simplest of our daily monkey-tasks.

Yes-I was chastising VooDooV for the blanket of down-votes to my comments because I sense his rage and anger at my input on threads similar, and recognize in atheists the same robotic mechanism they accuse Christians of which litter blog after blog when God is mentioned, by the ever-incrasing rabid anti-god fan-boys who attack with guns blazing at the very mention of that which is unable to be understood when approaching it from linear patterns of thought. That, and I refuse ever-again be ganged-up on on this site by a few well-be-nots who have it out for me because they can't understand what the fuck I am trying to communicate. I let my guard down in the past and it cost me over a year in SIFTJAIL (to all you fucking wannabe cops here present and future, suck my balls!)

Your fight is not with God but with the exponentially-increasing non-linearity of the world we inhabit, and the chaotic desire to process the information coming into the grid with time-honored methods of argument. IMLTHO this doesn't work.

All the seemingly trollish statements I make on similar threads are made with a view to wrenching another way of thinking out of the stubborn adherents to any one pattern or direction of mental process.

It can't be argued that a realm of universes exist outside of our own limited perceptive apparatus and all argument ends there for myself for the sake of my own insanity.

i cannot express just how much this fake scandal tickles me.
my feeds have been blasted and coated for weeks since this all started with "i support phil" and "phil is a hero of the first amendment".

a fake controversy about a show i dont watch.
on a network i dont frequent.
based on words from an ignorant hillbilly.

but even at the outset of all this it had the flavor of fabrication,a planned and calculated cacophony of incendiary bullshit.

a product was being marketed.

and will ya lookie here.....
thats exactly what it was.

phil roberston was no salt-of-the earth,hard working hillbilly redneck whose family made it big in the duck calling business.

he is a savvy businessmen who plays a scripted role in a scripted "reality" show that appeals to a certain demographic.
he is an actor.
a product created to entertain the masses.
a created character where many of his loyal fans can relate because he looks just like them.
talks like them.
acts like them.

kinda like sarah palin but with a ZZtop beard.

the conservative christians have been duped.bamboozeled.
even this controversy has been a marketing creation in order to sell more T-shirts and posters.

and it has worked brilliantly.

Shows like this tend of over-dramatise everything any sometimes it just looks like a load of hillbillies doing stupid shit.

But this guy clearly understands exactly what he's doing. Very impressive stuff!

I find it amusing how cloistered some of you folks are who continually associate Texas with ya-hoos, inbreds, gun-happy rednecks,etc. You folks who have never been to Texas,or the southern United States at all???...go fuck yourselves.

Pick ANY fucking state in the U.S. and you will find that morons and idiots, and the generally fucked, abound.

Happy to have been raised in Texas and becoming more grateful for my heritage the older I get, commensurate with how increasingly out-of-touch with the planet the rest of the world becomes.

The short-list of associative derision applied to Texas from some of the users here PALES when compared to the shithole the rest of the fucking country would be in today, were it not for a fuck-load of native Texans, and expatriates from the Northern Untied States who decided to tell the pussies there to kiss their asses, and come on down to a state larger than many countries, with unlimited resources human and otherwise, and massive brass balls.

Ever been to fucking Rhode Island?? Florida?? How about Portland, Or.-Head to PDX if you wanna meet a bunch of ineffectual hipsters and listen to pseudo-intellectuall horseshit over 10 coffees....
Insult where insult is due ya buncha wankers what think Texas is fulla hillbillies!!

That is all ingrates, return to your regularly scheduled delusions.
