Glenn Beck Makes a Very Exciting Offer to the Cast of ‘Duck Dynasty’
The Blaze ^ | 12/19/2013 | Erica Ritz

Posted on 12/19/2013 2:15:13 PM PST by sheikdetailfeather

“Duck Dynasty on TheBlaze” has a nice ring to it, according to Glenn Beck.

One day after Phil Robertson’s comments about homosexuality earned him an indefinite suspension from the hit series “Duck Dynasty” on A&E, Beck offered the entire Robertson family a place on his own network.

“[All the other networks] will fold to pressure,” he said. “They will all fold to sponsors. They will all fold to money because they are all in over their eyeballs are debt … the only reason why Phil was put on hiatus and not the rest is because it is a money-printing machine.”

Beck said as he sees it, the Robertson family has a choice to make.

“If I am in the Robertson family, I sit down with my family and say, ‘Is this the way we’re going to [let] him be treated? Is this who we are? Are we going to [be] quiet because he has an opinion about the scriptures?’”

Hallmark Channel would be a better fit. They have an HD feed on many providers and they wouldn't have to put up with Beck's constant crying.

And Beck is un-PC enough to let him exercise his 1st Amendment right and not try to punish him for his opinions.

Beck should offer the whole Duck Family a chance to write “Guest” columns on various subjects for the Blaze and put them on his website as a “freebie”.

I think a “Duck Syndicate” would be nice. It is a lot easier to explain one’s views when they can see them in print before publication than to say something extemporaneously and regret it later (or at least be attacked for telling the truth).

At least Beck is offering the Duckies a home. Who else in the conservative constellation is doing anything to support them?

Eh....CMT sounds better to me.

CMT is owned by MTV.

If DD goes to Beck it will be preaching to the choir. They need to show and defend tradtional American Christian family values to the other side.

Robertson didn’t get to where he is by falling for a rotten deal.

Hallmark Channel would be a better fit.

They're owned by Crown Media Holdings of Studio City, CA. I haven't fully completed my independent background check on that conglomerate but one of my acquaintances told me that George Soros was a major investor.

I dunno. He does it every six months or so, so he’s due for another one pretty soon.

When he first came on air, on 1210AM, in Philadelphia, I was banned from the forum. I told everyone, way back then, that he was a fake and fraud.

‘We never, ever judge someone on who’s going to heaven, hell. That’s the Almighty’s job,’ Robertson told GQ. ‘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?’

This guy (Glenn Beck) needs to be slapped into next week/reality/manhood ala the George Patton style of getting one’s attention. The gif is sad and funny, all at the same time. Freepers are truly some of the most awesome observers and educators on the www. Give it up ladies and gentlemen- for Snickering Hound! Don’t get the big head though... some other freeper will come along in due time and top your witty humor, but what the heck- that’s what makes FR so much fun.

The Robertsons are... as they say, the teachers, appearing as the students/society seemingly are/is ready to learn. KAPOW!!!

Yup. It carries the added bonus of dragging the hypocrites out in the open when they attack the Robertsons for standing by their principles and going with a network that respects their freedom.

It appears that the Sponsors are not folding. Maybe Beck can get them too.

“If I am in the Robertson family, I sit down with my family and say, ‘Is this the way we’re going to [let] him be treated? Is this who we are? Are we going to [be] quiet because he has an opinion about the scriptures?’”

What exactly have the other family members said regarding this? If it were my family we'd all be demanding to be suspended as well.

Interesting only if DD could give Beck’s fledgling network some path to viewership.
I’ve been annoyed with theBlaze since the website started arbitrarily running audio that could not be easily quieted via my browser. Finally just stopped hitting the site at all.

I subscribe to GB Blaze network and enjoy great interviews, news, and overall Constitutional and Founding Fathers respect.
