Rabbi gives Phil Robertson a run for his (homophobic) money

And not just any rabbi. Rabbi Eli Ben Dahan is an Israeli MK and minister of religious services. Here's his take on homosexuality;

Do homosexuals change the Jewish character of the state?

“God forbid. Bastards are also Jews. I don’t want to persecute a person because of what he does in his privacy of his home. Quite the contrary ... They can do what they want, but we will not grant it legal status.”

What will you do if a law for single sex marriages is proposed [in the Knesset]?

“No, under no circumstances. A Jew and a goy can also not marry.”

Is that the same thing?

“We don’t recognize either of them. In any case, a Jew always has a much higher soul than a goy, even if he is a homosexual ...

We await John Baird's unequivocal condemnation of Rabbi Ben Dahan's remarks. 

Pinko A&E execs come to senses, restore Duck Dynasty

Filthy lucre has once again trumped principle as A&E reverses its decision to suspend Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson.

As any one not in a coma for the month of December already knows, Robertson ignited a cultural firestorm recently with some politically incorrect personal opinions about gays and blacks.

Not just "politically incorrect", but crude in an almost Fordian manner.

Suddenly America was treated to a freedom of speech ruckus that had the gay socialists of the NAACP and GLAAD on one side and stalwarts for free speech like Glenn Beck, Bobby Jindal, Ted Cruz, and Sarah Palin on the other.

Hanging in the balance was almost a billion dollars in revenue the show is expected to bring in this year...

What did you think was going to happen?
