After Phil Robertson of the hit reality show "Duck Dynasty" rocked headlines for his anti-gay remarks, Sarah Palin decided to chime in with very little knowledge about the controversy.
Following A&E issuing Robertson a suspension, Palin tweeted that the "Duck Dynasty" star's First Amendment right to have freedom of speech is negatively being impacted.
Free speech is endangered species; those "intolerants" hatin' & taking on Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing personal opinion take on us all

The former Alaska governor has a lot to say for someone who didn't even read Robertson's alarming comments pertaining to the homosexual lifestyle.
"I haven't read the article. I don't know exactly how he said it," Palin admitted during an interview with Greta Susteren on Fox News Channel. "What he was doing was in response to a question about a lifestyle he disagrees with, and yet he has said over and over again he doesn't hate the person engaging in the lifestyle he disagrees with, but in response he was quoting the gospel. So people who are so insulted and offended by what he said evidently are offended by what he was quoting in the gospel."
The Alaskan Evita, who has been open about having a child out of wedlock, added that the suspension of Robertson "flies in the face of what makes America great" as she coined the LGBT community as "hypocritical" for punishing the reality star.
Concluding the interview with Susteren, the politician suggested we all should stop being so sensitive.
"Thicken your skin and quit being so intolerant of people expressing public opinion and private opinion," she said.
Since Robertson's furious sermon, the reality star insisted that he is "not a hater" and that he adores "all humanity."
Additionally, Robertson has no intention of apologizing for calling homosexuality a sin while declaring "sexual immorality" as topping his biblical list of don'ts.
