Thoughts on Duck Dynasty

Now the Duck Dynasty guy said something that some people are upset about. Now I don't watch the show, as a rule I try to avoid reality tv, though to be fair I have to admit I have watched Mythbusters in the past (I really should start watching this show again) and I watch Ice Road Truckers. So I don't know what the show is about, so I can't give my opinion on it, or any of the people that are featured on it. And I also admit that I do not know what this person has or hasn't said, all that I can gather from just looking over things that have been posted here on Facebook is that he said something that has upset a lot of people.

If I had more interest in the guy I might check into what it is he has said, however I am  not interested in him, and to paraphrase a from the former First Lady, Barbara Bush, why should I waste my beautiful mind with the likes of him. I believe what he has said was derogatory towards homosexuals. If this is the case I am not inclined to have positive feelings towards the man, at least not anymore than I already had. If he did say such things I think he is ignorant and bigoted.

What I do want to say, and this is coming from what I have read in some of the post, if you have watched the show are you really shocked by what he said? If you have watched Duck Dynasty for any length of time I am pretty sure you have gotten to know what this man thinks. Even if he has never said anything about LGBT individuals on the show, he has made his feelings known on other topics, and certain points of view tend to be linked (not always but in most case) to other points of view. This should not come as a surprise to anybody. I mean this is not like Michael Richards going on a racist rant in a comedy club. That was an eye opening event for people.
