Looks like he's back, jack.
"Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertsonwill be back on the A&E show when filming cranks up again following the holidays, according to sources quoted by Entertainment Weekly.
"Everybody will take a break for the holidays and regroup afterward. That’s probably the smartest thing for everyone to do. Time heals a lot of wounds,” EW's source said.
A&E announced the suspension last week after comments he made to GQ magazine stirred controversy.

Well the truth of the matter is that Season 4 had already been filmed and edited with Phil before all this happened, and A&E doesn’t want to lose its big investment. My guess is that there won’t be a Season 5 since I can’t image the Robertsons signing a new contract after the way they were treated by the network brass.
A&E better not make him apologize on air.
Well they had to figure out who was going to make them the most money, homos or the largest fanbase a regular reality TV show has ever had. I guess the most $$$ won...
Sounds like the Pink Mafia picked too big of a target this time. Let’s hope this is the first crack in a crumbling fortress.
No really true.
This is just an attempt to confuse the issue. The filming is in the “can” and he will appear in those but is suspended from future filming till his suspension is lifted..
The all mighty(not for long) dollar speaks its gospel.who would of thought that.
Propaganda from the Atlanta papers.
This attack by GLAAD was to further desensitize Americans regarding homosexuality. Hillary Clinton will be facing questions and revelations about her sexuality.. When she shrieked “what does it mater?”, she wasn’t referring necessarily to Benghazi. John Kerry still desperately wants to be President. He will know just how those questions will be posed and how the revelations will happen. Does anyone really think he is accumulating all those frequent flier miles and photo ops on behalf of Obama or world peace? Unfortunately for GLAAD, this has hurt Hillary and helped Kerry.
Ratings count.....heh heh heh
That, I think, is the big question at this point. There was never any question in my mind but that the suspension was always bogus. A&E just said he was suspended because they knew they had next season in the can and announced they would be showing it. They were just waiting for the dust to settle and there would have quietly un-suspended Phil. That's probably still the plan. Maybe toss in a little extra "pain and suffering" cash to the Robinsons for the trouble and loss of face. But I don't know that Phil would accept that at this point. And as goes Phil so go the Robertsons.
All you have to do is wait a few weeks to see if the reports about him being in the new filming A&E is doing right after the holidays - is true or not.
The sources are obviously saying it’s true, and you (and some others are saying it’s not true. No one will REALLY KNOW what is true, until that time is past.
I’ll wait and see ...
WHY? If I had his money, even if I didn’t, I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction.
I like to think that principles are why I am in the twilight of a mediocre career condemned to my position by the strength of my convictions.
I never took crap off of anybody very long and never again afterwards.
Selective quotes you make:
from the article:

A source close to the situation confirmed that when the network resumes airing
new episodes of Duck Dynasty starting Jan. 15, footage featuring the Robertson
patriarch will indeed remain intact. The network also hopes the media and fan furor
will cool down over the holidays and that tensions over shooting future episodes
can then be resolved.
“There’s no negotiation to have; we’re doing the show,” said an insider close
to the situation. “We’ll figure out a solution. It’s just not going to happen
overnight. Everybody will take a break for the holidays and regroup afterward.
That’s probably the smartest thing for everyone to do. Time heals a lot of wounds.”

Just wish that one elected Republican would have the guts to call the homos what they are and kill all AIDS/gay lobby funding.
Yep. This is the second almost identical article posted on this today.
Nothing in the article supports the headline. There is no named source or sources.
Money talks, BS walks.
All worldly "careers" will become mediocre when conviction of sin leads one to die to self, to Sin as a master, and to the world system; and becomes alive to The Christ. IMHO
Queer nation not so fast. Guess 2% is not a mandate after all. It took obama to get Osama so said a LIV bumper sticker, same mentality different modisoperando.
Not. Going. To. Happen.
