“I don’t agree with quite a bit of stuff I read in magazine interviews or see on TV.* In fact, come to think of it, I find a good bit of it offensive,” Jindal said. “But I also acknowledge that this is a free country and everyone is entitled to express their views.* In fact, I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment.

Former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin expressed her support for Robertson in a Facebook post.
“Free speech is an endangered species. Those “intolerants” hatin’ and taking on the Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing his personal opinion are taking on all of us,” she said.
