ROBERTSON FAMILY STATEMENT ON Duck commander website at 7pm
We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of A&E’s decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phil’s unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart” and “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Phil would never incite or encourage hate.We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right.We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family.
Awesome - I hope they all walk off the set. It’s time to take a stand !!!
The individuals who made the decision to censor Mr. Robertson should come forward and publicly identify themselves. Its easy to assume politically correct postures while hiding behind a corporate shield.
O’Reilly had some silly theory that Robertson’s comments crossed some imaginary line because it was “judgmental”, rather than just a statement of opinion. It reminded me of the meaning of “is” and hanging chads...
It’s too bad liberals can’t just listen to the opinions of others instead of criticizing, finger-pointing, and stopping their ears going “la la la la la I can’t hear you la la la la la racist bigot la la la la...”
Now its heading to a million likes.
And in steps Phil!
Hey you gays...the shame you felt growing up gay was REAL. No amount of media acclaim and praise and acceptance can remove the nagging hint of shame.
Yes. You are angry. You are still ashamed.
But Phil is not the problem...take a good long look in the mirror.
A man who cannot accept personal responsibility for his actions cannot heal.
I think gays are “over-represented” in the entertainment industry.
A&E is a jv of Hearst and Disney.
So the person(s) making this decision are likely very much in accord with the corporate view.
I guess you’re allowed to say you think it’s a sin, as long as there are no consequences.
O’Reilly is never judgmental about anyone of course.
But I have faith that Phil will be the exception. He knows where his treasure is stored up, and I don't think the haters can touch him.
How about sell the series to another cable channel that actually wants to get rich.

They won’t because gays are cowards by nature. They travel in groups for a reason.
“We never, ever judge someone on who’s going to heaven, hell. That’s the Almighty’s job. We just love ’em, give ’em the good news about Jesus—whether they’re homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort ’em out later, you see what I’m saying?”
So much for his "Phil is judging" argument.
Did he talk about "Christian philosophy"?
Oy.
More people have supported Phil Robertson in the past 18 hours then have signed up for Obamacare. REAL AMERICANS
Vaginas have done more for the human race than gay anuses ever have.
Go to "The Blaze" and start the media revolution!
Wow - that didn't take long ...
I predict that Saturday Night Live will do a skit on this “controversy” this week. I also predict that they will make Phil Robertson look like a buffoon. They will then be shocked by the backlash. When A&E first decided to can Phil, I told my wife that they had no clue the kind of “S”-storm they were getting themselves into.
