Eh, I called the person who broke in here a dumb ass cocksucking mother fucker. Doesn't mean I truly think the are a gay male or have actually slept with their mother I do totally 100% think they are a dumb ass.
I make fun of my Mexican friends for being Mexican, my gay friends for being gay, my Jewish friends for being Jewish. All in good fun and they take it that way, because I honestly don't give a shit what they are, as long as they're good friends.
Hypocritical: pretense of having virtues, beliefs, principles, etc., that one does not actually possess. A&E airs the show, implying they don't have an issue with the principles, then suspend the guy for sharing the same principles demonstrated on the show. I assume your argument is that as long as it's only an implied support, it's not *actually* hypocritical?
A&E implied nothing by airing the show. They air shows with characters espousing all sorts of beliefs. The only belief they have espoused that I can see is the belief in the bottom line.
Given that we're about to move into debating implied meanings, I think its time to a agree to disagree.
They have a disclaimer on the show. They flat out say they as a network do not agree or disagree with what characters on their shows say. They air shows that using your definition would imply they're anti bible and christian views too - can't have it both ways. DD is not the only show on the network (although as popular as it is they're doing a lot of marathons over the holidays).
They are just as, if not more redneck than they appear on TV. Dumb, absolutely not. Redneck, holy shit yes.
Only a fool mistakes redneck for dumb, the two are not related. It would stun people if the knew how many 'hillbillies' were involved in the start of the space program. The rest were Nazis
