Decent American society is indeed engaged in a war against the evil homosexual agenda.

A&E is now officially on the side of the sodomists. The network hasn't the right to fire Robertson. Firing someone for their religious beliefs is a violation of the civil rights act of 1964.

I simply don’t believe it, or the threats are coming from homosexual activists trying to discredit Christians.

The radical left, as exemplified by A&E is capable of ANYTHING to advance their agenda.

[tomkat]

No one should condone any death threats.

spoils the surprise ?

Imagine how terrifying a bearded white man who reads and believes the Bible, likes guns, shoots and eats animals must be to gays and most of the Democratic base. It was only a matter of time before the vile liberals who dominate TV would go after this man. Also a network that claims to be grounded on the “Arts” and practices censorship is a fraud.

The Anus & Erect Network is now blocked on my system.

I bet that all the “death threats” were made by homosexuals in an effort to portray themselves as victims and gain sympathy. It's the MO.

[I_Like_Spam]

I just don’t believe that there are death threats against GLAAD or other homosexual pressure groups because of this.

I don’t see A&E’s position on this. The family was hired to do a “reality” program and Mr. Robertson was being true to the character that A&E contracted with and they want to fire him for it? Even though Robertson is at the height of his popularity?

Just doesn’t seem to make logical sense. Firing Robertson for his outspoken Christian viewpoints is like firing Don Rickles for being a sarcastic old man or Britney for being a stereotypical blonde. They knew who they were signing when they did the contract, and Robertson has remained true to his self and has stayed in character.

Mygosh, I don't really care about someone's homosexuality as long as they're private about it. I'll even go as far as accept "same sex couples" as a living arrangement, if they'd just SHUT UP about their sexuality, and not have one play the guy and one the gal and not promote their lifestyle. I shouldn't have to tolerate anyone's sexuality.

But if I'm in a conversation about my values or religion that's different. I'll say what I really think about homosexuality from cultural/religious/philosophical standpoints. I have every right to my opinions and the US Constitution protects my right to have them and express them.

This firing goes so far over the line that I'd think even some free speech liberals should be outraged. This is a reality show star, for heaven's sake. A&E exploits him to make huge profits, and now that he's entrenched, they want to control what he says because they don't want to hurt the feelings of their employees? If those employees are so offended by the Robinson's cultural and religious values, why were they content to profit from them?

We have to step way back from this speech-police thing. My expressed views might offend people. So what? Disagree with me if you want a serious discussion. But don't act like a three year old who lost their favorite teddy bear if I say a "bad" word or express how I feel about stuff like thinking open homosexuality is a symptom of a sick society.

This should be a tipping point. We should say what we damn well please, using the words we choose. The line should be we shouldn't impose our views on others. Which side crossed that one?

[ilovesarah2012]

I must say I am shocked by the outrage over this. I really didn’t expect it to be that big of a deal. Seems this has struck a nerve and mid-Americans are getting sick of all the PC crap and are not gonna take it anymore.

No one is going to kill A&E. A&E is strangling itself trying to play that orgasm enhancement game.

[Carriage Hill]

Death threats? $10 says they’re coming from the homos an anonymous accounts, posing as Conservatives.

[txrefugee]

Phil Robertson for President!

I’m having bumper stickers printed. Millions should do the same and watch the heads of the Left explode....along with the heads of the weenies in the eGOP.

[Texas resident]

The civil rights act of 1964 doesn’t apply to white Christian males.

Also, there is a difference in the merchandise out there.
There is Duck Commander stuff and Duck Dynasty stuff.
The family gets royalties off the Commander stuff.
A&E gets a cut from the Dynasty stuff because it has the A&E logo on it.

The boss and I went to Academy and bought up a bunch of Duck Commander stuff for our like minded family and friends.

[who knows what evil?]

On Friday there were reports of beefed security, death threats, suspicious packages, merchandise sell outs and a lot of backlash toward the gay community.

Death threats? Suspicious packages? Yeah...right.

[who knows what evil?]

This is an unpopular decision but there are ways to make a point without calling for violence.

Tell it to the lefty communists...THEY are the 'violent ones'.

[lakecumberlandvet]

People who identify themselves as LGBT have openly admitted that they have a mental disorder. That should serve as the first step toward fixing the problem.

I do not agree with death threats but little fairy boys should not piss off armed red necks.
