 RC> Duck Commander and Buck Commander are in fact real companies...

Yes they are thanks to Willie.

 RC> The beard thing is more than likely part of that brand.. But again
 RC> those people are quite real..

it's a marketing scheme.

 RC> Phil Robertson was a college football team mate and back up to Terry

 RC> mentioned.

Actually he was the starting quarterback at LSU for the two years before Terry
arrived. Many say he was actually better than Bradshaw but the ducks were a
callin!! 

 RC> So except for the silliness of the TV show, whats not real about them?

The squeaky clean image they portray.  A statement was said by Phil which seems
to have illuded another member here, in referencing homosexuality as a gateway
to beastiality. That's the reason the gay community was upset. The entire
picture is rather disturbing being that Phil was not such an upstanding citizen
many years ago.  One could even say he was damn near close to being a child
molester when he stated "dating" his wife who was 14 at the time while he was
20? I do give him credit he found his calling though.  Still doesn't give him
the right to spout homophobic remarks.     

 RC> Oh wait, they are Christian bible thumpers, not card carrying
 RC> lieberals!

And as such they should follow the Lord's wishes... Love thy neighbor.  If
during that interview he was trying to be evangelistic, then he used a poor
choice of words in getting the attention of the very people he was trying to
preach to.  Seems to me these days those very same card carrying "lieberals"
you so profoundly denounce seem to be doing a better job at the Lord's work
than those Christian GOP bible thumpin members sitting in the house. Latest
one, defeat $10 billion for extending unemployment benefits yet give $310
billion in tax breaks to the ultra-rich who pay for them to sit in that seat.
Guess those bible thumpers are trying to re-write the First Commandment when it
comes to idolizing $$.

BTW, I enjoy the show.  I give Phil credit for finding himself but in no way
should he be throwing stones. 

Enjoy...

     
Bill
