A&E cut out a lot of the things they say, they even cut out "In Jesus"

Phil didn't make the comment on the show and they are fully aware of the way he it, the Robertsons are valued at above 15 million.

This is not about the A&E company or the Robertsons
Read the link I posted
?I think that this intolerance by gay activists toward the full spectrum of human beliefs is a sign of immaturity, juvenility,? Paglia said. ?This is not the mark of a true intellectual life. This is why there is no cultural life now in the U.S. Why nothing is of interest coming from the major media in terms of cultural criticism. Why the graduates of the Ivy League with their A, A, A+ grades are complete cultural illiterates, etc. is because they are not being educated in any way to give respect to opposing view points.?

LOL. Homophobia is alive and well in the United States.

Because conservatives and the religious right are so tolerant and open to to the full spectrum of human beliefs that they would allow anyone to live the life they would like to live. . . well, that is, unless you are gay and want to get married.

And I just saw that A&E is reporting that Phil will return to the show on Jan 15th.

Mission accomplished. They got plenty of free publicity, people ran out and bought Duck Dynasty stuff for Christmas as a show of support and the ratings will likely go up. A&E and the Robertsons laugh all the way to the bank.

Double post

I think the obvious contradiction is in using the argument of "tolerance" to retaliate against and silence the views and opinions of one you don't agree with. All people are biased, bigoted and prejudiced.. That's a given.

actually he isn't returning but the season that 9 out of 10 EP have already been shot. So while right now he won't be shooting anymore unless A&E brings him back he'll still be in the new EPs that were shot before all this.

I just saw a second story about it and it looks like you are correct. They will be airing new episodes that have him in them in Jan. Of course if they were all that angry with him and worried that he was going to hurt their image they would pull those episodes. But they wont and those episodes will be huge.

Well there is no way they would throw out 9 shows they shot and the family is standing by Phil and said they wouldn't do the show without him. So I'm sure they wouldn't re shoot these shows.

I'm sure in Jan or Feb they will bring him back but not say much other than they are bringing him back cause he is a valuable asset to the show..


Also here is the first statements from phil saying for sure that he will never back down from his beliefs and that he owes no apologies.

Of course he will be back. A&E, like any network cares only about ratings and advertisers. They wanted to make sure that advertisers weren't going to leave the show. Once it became clear that they weren't going to leave then it was all about milking this to get as much ratings as possible.

Cracker Barrel puts Duck Dynasty Merchandise back in their Stores and Restaurants.

Gotta gets me one o' them thar Beaver Calls... :thumbsup

:stoned

ADG

Fuck a bunch of politically correct intolerant fags that don't respect an individual's right to say what he believes if it differs from their own beliefs or opinion.

:D cant believe they put his daughter Sadie in there lol he's going to go postal.

I have to admit, I was wrong. I thought they would debut with even higher numbers than before, but their ratings have dropped a good amount on the new shows.

Thank you for the plug :)

I was out voted on including a gay scene ;)

Actually, it was in the planning for ages and had been filmed before the latest headline grabbing. Evan Stone wins for the best scene in it, for me.

IMO the season premier shows were real weak and didn?t represent past season shows. They probably lost some viewers with those shows.

I think a gay scene would be funny but hard to market.

I love the idea of a beaver call.
