Two days ago former Vice Presidential candidate and Tea Party leader Sarah Palin spoke out in favor of “Duck Dynasty” reality star Phil Robertson. Now, her daughter Bristol Palin is doing the same.

Bristol, 23, responded to the controversy in a blog post which she titled, “Leave Phil Robertson Alone!” Her main argument in coming to Robertson’s defense was the nature of free speech. “I hate how the LGBT community says it’s all about ‘love’ and ‘equality.’ However, if you don’t agree with their lifestyle, they spread the most hate. It is so hypocritical it makes my stomach turn. They need to learn how to respect others’ opinions and not just jump to the conclusion that everyone who doesn’t support homosexuality and gay marriage is homophobic.”

The controversy started when Robertson expressed some rather non-politically correct sentiments in an interview with GQ magazine. “It seems like, to me, a vagina – as a man – would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there!” Robertson would also add, “Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there—bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men.”

After the expected outrage, A&E decided to put Robertson on “indefinite hiatus.” Bristol Palin then took to her personal Facebook page in response to the cable network’s decision.

“Duck Dynasty” is a huge hit show for A&E, averaging about 14 million viewers weekly. Those numbers make it the most watched reality cable show ever, and it does better in the Nielsen Ratings than most network television programs. It is also a pop culture sensation. In case you’ve never seen the show, it provides a look into the life of a Louisiana clan who became wealthy making products for duck hunters.

Tell us what you think? Is the world becoming too politically correct?
