Phil Robertson In 2009: Men Should Marry Girls When They are 15 Or 16 Years Old

The right wing regularly calls Harvey Milk a “predator pedophile” because he allegedly dated a teenager. Liberty Counsel spokesdouche Matt Barber: “Harvey Milk was demonstrably, categorically an evil man based on his rape of teenage boys.”  Let’s see how Barber and his ilk spin THIS message from Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson.

UPDATE: More from the original source.

What you want to do, according to the Duck Dynasty patriarch, is “marry these girls when they’re about fifteen or sixteen.” Robertson is no stranger to doing just that. He began dating his wife Marsha when she was fourteen and he a legal adult. They married two years later when she was just sixteen. The age of consent in Louisiana is seventeen years old, and it is a crime for anyone regardless of age to engage in sexual relations with a fourteen year old (though there is no word on if they had premarital sex). If a person is under seventeen, it is illegal for anyone more than two years older to have sex with them. No matter what, it is likely (but not proven) that Robertson broke at least one law.

Dating a 14 year old while a legal adult? C’mon, Matt Barber. Let’s hear about this godly relationship.
