Phil Robertson's Disturbing Monologue Discovered: "Marry These girls when they’re about 15 or 16"

[kpete]

It seems like Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson has a full repertoire of offensive comments. They are all showing up in videos. First we were made aware of his homophobic rant and racist condescension to blacks.

This new video is simply unbelievable. Does this guy forget that this is a world where everything is recorded? In the video above Phil Robertson says the following in a rather disturbing monologue:

“Now that’s a woman. They got to where they’re hard to find. Mainly because these boys are waiting til they’re twenty years old before they marry them. Look, you wait til they get to be twenty years old and the the only picking that’s going to take place is your pocket. You got to marry these girls when they’re about fifteen or sixteen and they’ll pick your ducks.”

1. i can only conclude that A&E agrees with everything mr robertson says.

[Dawson Leery]

2. +1

[Quasimodem]

31. Yes, during his brief suspension ...

A&E undoubtedly had someone spend a little time looking into Mr. Robertson's past public pronouncements, to see if he was a fit person to appear on one of their fine programs.

As Mr. Robertson has been allowed to return to work for A&E, one can only conclude that they have viewed this and any other statements likely to be uncovered in the following months, and that A&E is happy to stand behind Mr. Robertson's opinions, if not quite as representative of their own, then at least, in their opinions, a reasonable and acceptable opinion for someone publicly connected to their station to have.

[indepat]

7. And they surely wouldn't want to offend a single person who supports his vile world-view,

but A&E has pist off this lad beyond redemption and suspect there are more who feel likewise.

[spanone]

10. they are appealing to the lowest common denominator...they can have them

[freshwest]

18. But they vote, too. And we have to live with that. n/t

[jsr]

3. Phil Robertson is vile.

[Megahurtz]

4. What a Disgusting Human Being. n/t

[jmowreader]

5. Louisiana marriage law

18 or older: consent of the woman you're tryin' ta marry, but of course she won't pick ducks no more if'n ya wait that long.

16 to 18: consent of both her parents, one of whom may wonder why you cain't get you a woman more your own age.

15 years 364 days or earlier: court order is required, very few of which have ever been issued on grounds of "yer honor, I need her to pick my ducks."

[auntsue]

13. Look at his own choices

He was 17 she was 14 -- when they started dating - 19 and 16 when married

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Robertson#Personal_life

Phil Alexander Robertson (born April 24, 1946)
Robertson and Marsha "Kay" Carroway started dating in 1964, when Kay was only 14 years old. They married two years later, in 1966. They had their first son, Alan, while they were attending college.[26]

[freshwest]

20. She won't be the last college educated in the family either. It's all fake:

But the ones who fall for it, will descend into the dark ages. The guys putting the show on, the network and advertisers are millionaires who are training Americans to accept a brute existence rejecting knowledge to free them from their drudgery.

[arely staircase]

6. is this getting any MSM traction yet?

I sure hope it does.

[tarheelsunc]

30. If it does, it will be slanted in a way that's supposed to make you feel sympathy for this POS. eom

[Union Scribe]

8. sounds like he's talking about teenagers

marrying each other, not old men marrying young girls as I've seen implied. We've apparently entered the "dubiously prolonging controversy" stage of this nonsense.

[okaawhatever]

9. Let's see how many main stream media outlets pick this up. If they don't it's absolute proof

the press has abandoned it's responsibility to get to the bottom of a story.

[BobUp]

11. Red neck

American Taliban.

[Liberalynn]

12. That's Statutory Rape Asshole

A & E should drop the & and add the letters HFC

AEHFC

Advocating Extreme Hate for Cash.

I sincerely hope their decision comes back to bight them and their friend Phil finds a way to get them and himself in so much trouble that there will no way they can dig themselves out of it.

[In_The_Wind]

14. Bingo! ... It is Statutory Rape.

[On the Road]

22. Sex in a Legal Marriage is Statutory Rape?

Since when?

[Liberalynn]

35. a female/male under the legal age limit( I believe that is 18 for most states)

is deemed unable to give consent to sex let alone marriage.

Parents could conceivably give permission but if they don't grant consent to the marriage, then it's an illegal marriage and therefore still statutory rape.

[arely staircase]

38. there are "romeo and Juliet" clauses in most states laws

If the participants are within a certain closeness of age it isn't statutory rape. For example the age of consent in Texas is 17. So if a 30 year old had sex with a16 year old it is statutory rape. If an 18 year old has sex with a 16 year old it might not be. I think 18 months is the age difference that avoidd prosecution.

[Liberalynn]

40. I Googled to check

http://womensissues.about.com/od/datingandsex/a/Romeo_and_Julie.htm

According to the above article apparently Connecticut, Florida, Indiana and Texas do have Romeo and Juliet laws as of 2007. Presumably though more states could have enacted similar laws since then. They do depend on how big the age difference is between the two participants.

[arely staircase]

43. interesting thanks for posting

I noticed the protection doesn't apply to gay and lesbian teens. Surprise surprise.

[Live and Learn]

24. Apparently, it is okay if her fathers says it is, per Phil.

Sounds eerily familiar to Taliban ideology.

[Liberalynn]

37. I agree that it sounds like Taliban ideology

the father shouldn't be able to force the daughter to marry someone she doesn't want to marry either or his son for that matter to marry someone he doesn't want to marry.

[SummerSnow]

15. Oh...he desires a child bride now?

[iandhr]

16. Ah so let me see if I got this. He is a racist, a bigot, and a perv.

Quite the trifecta.

[Quasimodem]

34. His personal daintiness is rather dubious, too n/t

[freshwest]

17. Barefoot and pregnant and seen but not heard, too. Won't need school, driver's license, etc.

[mdbl]

19. Did anyone really expect something different?

You don't go to hicksville looking for civilized discourse.

[truebluegreen]

32. What "Hicksville"?

This guy's a multimillionaire and his kids are a bunch of yuppies.

Or they were until they discovered gettin' on teevee in redneck drag paid so well.

[mdbl]

41. So, before the show, they were Esquires from Kennebunkport?

Then they are great actors!

[truebluegreen]

47. Actors? Not so much. Redneck drag? Ayyup.

55. I wondered how they got their women to come near them.

Now I know they used to take a shower once in a while.

[sulphurdunn]

21. Pedophilia

is no big deal among people who practice incest. I mean, doesn't the Bible say Lot got drunk and slept with his daughters? So it must be OK. Right?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

23. Pro Statutory Christian Rape Rally at your local Chick-fil-a next Saturday. Be there.

Sarah Palin is stuck at character 73 of what will eventually become a sputtering 134-character tweet on the matter, but she'll get there.

[intersectionality]

27. F---ing brilliant. Nt

[Initech]

25. Wow, short of full out white supremacy, he's every bad redneck stereotype in one!

[colsohlibgal]

26. A & E Has Sunk So Low

What A Low Life Creep Pervert. I still don't get the appeal of this show for anyone outside Dixie. Ball is in your court A & E.

[SoCalDem]

54. the "appeal" is the money they make from it

The mentality is the same one that makes elderly pensioners write out checks to the televangelists

[arely staircase]

28. snl

[hue]

29. Duck Dynasty=American Taliban

[Claybrains]

33. I think this belongs here. I live in GA. and this is the their mentality. Strangely enough

when I asked my SBC friends how church went on Christmas Eve. Their eyes shot at me like daggers, "we don't go to church on Christmas Eve unless it falls on Sunday". Really? I didn't know. Seems strange, but ok.

36. Disgusting. nt

[Zorra]

39. When you defend Phil, that's what you're defending.

42. Here's the VIDEO:

[City Lights]

44. What a gem of a man!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

45. He's a sick piece of bigoted, racist, mentally ill trash nt

[TeamPooka]

46. And all of a sudden "family values" start sounding like "Manson Family values".

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

48. Maybe Phil is intelligent, respectful, and kind ...

... and all this crap is scripted, by A&E and by his family business publicists.

It just seems too stereotypical to be real.



On the other hand, Lindsey Graham seems too stereotypical to be real.

[Coexist]

49. forgive me but what does he mean by "she'll pick your ducks"?

is that a hunting thing? Cleaning feathers off a dead duck? wtf?

[SharonAnn]

52. In my family, we "pluck" the dead chickens (remove the feathers) before preparing and cooking them.

I don't know if "picking" is the term for doing that to ducks or if he meant to say "plucking".

In any case, it's the duck carcass that's being "picked" before it's cooked. At least that's the way I took it.

Sort of like the euphemism, "cleaning" fish.

[Amaril]

50. ".......they’ll pick your ducks"

WTF does that even mean?

[Brigid]

51. "Marry these girls when they're 15 or 16 . . ."

And they will have nothing to look forward to but living in poverty for the rest of their lives with the likes of this guy. No thanks. There really are some things that are worse than death.

[napkinz]

53. Phil is "disturbed"
