The left really doesn't like losing, so they are trying another attack on Phil. It won't work, and I am glad they are doing it as it will make them look petty and vindictive.
The left HAS to tear down the Robertsons. I call it the Tebow effect. The visceral reaction to Tebow and the Robertsons is nothing more than a proxy war for the left against Christianity. The Robertson's and Tim Tebow don't just say they are Christian (like many lefties here and in in politics), they LIVE IT to their core.
The last thing the left needs is people to see that there is an alternative to their secular, big government ways. Remember, Marx always said the fastest way to collectivism is by tearing down the family and religious institutions. The left has been on a hard march toward that for generations now.
The left wing sports media effectively shut down Tebow by putting out the narrative that "he can't play". The last thing the secularists needed was a charismatic person like Tebow spreading the word of God and being a positive role model for the youth. So they had to tear him down.
The Robertson's however caught them flat footed. When Duck Dynasty first came out, the left thought it would just be a camouflaged version of Honey Boo Boo. But, they didn't count on the success of the program. 11 million viewers doesn't lie. Everyone knew Phil Robertson's beliefs going into this. Nobody should be surprised that an evangelical Christian such as Phil Robertson holds these beliefs. They surely aren't new. But, that isn't the problem. The problem for the left is that Phil Robertson now has a platform with which to teach people about the power of faith, family and food. That is a threat to the left. The more people that see what good, wholesome folks the Robertsons are, the biggest threat it becomes to big government. So the attacks on Robertson will be relentless.
Add to the fact that one of the biggest extortion rackets (GLADD) just got beat like a drum and you have a concerted effort to take down the Robertson's.
Here is why it will fail. Unlike, the Miley Cirus' of the world, the Robertson's success was not built by the media, so the media can't tear it down. It is why they have been so unsuccessful at bringing down Rush Limbaugh.
But that won't stop them from trying. They will fail and it will be fun to watch
