@MichelleFields So you're saying Phil is a racist?

Not that critics of Phil Robertson need any extra assistance, but count frequent “Hannity” guest Michelle Fields among those who have labeled the “Duck Dynasty” star racist:

Fields also retweeted this:

Before attacking @MichelleFields, I suggest that everyone read the part about Jim Crow. via @CNN http://t.co/wFikfGj7wR

The article linked above offered as “evidence” that Robertson is a racist puts words in his mouth. For example, Robertson never said African-Americans were “happier under Jim Crow,” but rather those words are the author’s interpretation of what Robertson said, which was a description of his personal experience in pre-civil rights Louisiana.

These tweeters would rather Fields judge Robertson based on what he actually said on this issue and not from separate, agenda-driven interpretations of those words:

@MichelleFields you likely missed the boat, here, dear. Off the cuff colorful quotes doesn't make u a racist. But I respect your opinion.

.@MichelleFields I'm not for turning anyone into a hero, but calling someone a racist is a serious charge that needs proof. Have any?

@JohnEkdahl Yep. Nothing near what he actually said in the interview.

Here are Phil Robertson's full GQ comments. Read them and decide for yourself if worthy of a racism accusation: http://t.co/1RCeIzWgZY

Is it possible Robertson is a huge racist? Of course. However, nothing I read in that GQ article provides serious evidence for it imo.
