A&E Suspended Phil Robertson

"J" · Dec 18, 2013

Duck Dynasty lost their lead role model, their dad Phil Robertson.... GQ magazine interviewed him and asked about gay rights and he gave his opinion but stated he didn't judge people because that is Gods job not his.... Because of the backlash from the gay community A&E suspended him from the show indefinitely....

You know the more I think about this the more I wonder if it isn't a publicity stunt. Not that it started that way but this is generating a ton of support for Phil.

A&E will come out of this looking foolish. You don't choke the golden goose.

You can't offend anyone these days, anyone but Christians that is.

I'm glad it's generating more support for Phil! He didn't say anything wrong here from what I just read. All this PC crap has to stop. He's a Christian Redneck. The question was asked to generate readership for GQ, not Phil. The Robertsons couldn't be any bigger if they were all good looking blonde women, they don't need a ratings boost.

Wait so a Christian Redneck from the South shares his opinion and the media blows it up acting surprised that he would say that?

1. HE didnt say anything wrong
2. He quoted the bible, whats the big deal?
3. He said pussy is more attractive than a dudes AHOLE, well I would say thats the truth for 98% of men. So again no big deal.

I cant even handle our media, its a fugging joke!

Archertl · Dec 18, 2013

I don't watch the show but I don't see anything wrong with what he said.

finelyshedded · Dec 19, 2013

That's BS! Plain and simple! This PC shit has got to stop!

Beener will prolly drop his GQ subscription as well and I don't blame him! Lol

Freedom of speech went out the window a long time ago. The politically correct chit is getting out of control.

xbowguy · Dec 19, 2013

Again... Politically Correct is nothing but a term to describe "Whiney-Ass-Babies".

teej89 · Dec 19, 2013

What response was he interviewed expecting? I think it's a shitty question to ask IMO. Go Phil tho, he's the man and I'm glad he didn't take back what he said. I guess that's probably exactly what the interviewer was expecting and he just wanted to get some drama rolling.

A season or two ago A&E asked them if the robertsons to not pray and shoot guns as much on the show. And Phil basically told him this is who we are and what we do so you can hit the road jack. A&E quickly changed their minds and resigned them lol

Fullbore · Dec 19, 2013

Dang shame as to what the world has come TOO. What ever happened to free speech? Plus what he said in the interview was correct. He was my favorite person on the show and their ratings will suffer for it.

correct!!

Big_Holla · Dec 19, 2013

Seems like they were setting him up for this fall with that interview. I'm sure GQ knew what he would say and baited the hook. Hopefully he continues to get the support he deserves and shoves it down GQ and A&E's throats!!

bowhunter1023 · Dec 19, 2013

I think they were all on board and it was all for publicity. I do agree with Brock that they can't possibly get any bigger, but the asshole who are stuffing their pockets off their brand don't see it that way...

Milo · Dec 19, 2013

i personally hope they walk away from it and A&E. A&E was only okay with their lifestyle till it cost them money. fuggum

The left has a deep disdain for their conservative Christian values and the popularity they have gained. They've been trying for a while to destroy them. The media is taking his statements out of context by only airing partial statements and leaving out the part where he says it's not for him to judge and we must love everyone as a neighbor regardless of who they are. It's the same as with Paula dean. They railroaded her and destroyed her career because she was a Christian southerner. It doesn't fit Hollywoods mold of liberal atheist moonbats.

It's refreshing to see someone speak up for what they believe in & not worry about their status, or cave in. I'm cetain ol Phil could care less whether he's on the show or not. I'd be a bit worried about the show its self, but they've had a good run no matter what the outcome will be.

I Agree!! Great to see someone say what they feel instead of being afraid of what others may think or say about it! F these people. I am so tired of this conservative BS anymore
