KISS legend Paul Stanley isn’t too keen on A&E’s decision to kowtow to the Left’s tolerance thugs. His take: “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson should be able to “shout it, shout it, shout it out loud” without penalties.
Stanley, who participated in the NO H8 Campaign’s duct tape theater, says he’s more offended by the suspension of Robertson for voicing his beliefs than by anything the reality star said.
@PaulStanleyLive Don't want to be penalized for your views you can't penalize someone for theirs. That's more offensive than their words.

Stanley engaged one Twitter user who took issue with his position.
@PaulStanleyLive It's their prerogative. He's still allowed to say what he wants to say. That hasn't been taken away.

A&E has every right to crap all over beliefs shared by a significant portion of Americans (while cashing in with “Duck Dynasty” marathons featuring Phil). But Stanley still bristles at penalties for “offensive” speech.
@TheDaysofLore Being "allowed to speak" isn't supposed to be followed by punishment for speaking.

@PaulStanleyLive I get what you're saying, Paul, but a business also has the right to maintain a culture that doesn't condone speech that…

@PaulStanleyLive …is offensive to races and lifestyles of other employees.

@TheDaysofLore Great POV until it is you who is judged offensive and penalized.
