I havent had TV for 5 years ... I dont need to be insulted and lied to.Do you listen to the radio??? Do you get internet service??? Do you talk to people who do???
Then whether you like it or not, with or without TV, you still get insulted and lied to.

You are right...A&E IS making a killing on the sales of DD merchandise...that is why people are being encouraged to purchase items from Dock Commander, NOT DD. Canceling cable is the only OTHER way to directly affect A&E’s bottom line.

It is our understanding that when the TV executives came up with the concept for the show they wanted it to be a case of people laughing at a bunch of backward rednecks. But when it didnt turn out like that and people actually started identifying with the way the family behaved and were laughing with them, not at them, they became uncomfortable. It did not sit will with the New York TV types. Spot on...I think this is exactly what happened.

I live rurally and cable/satellite is unreliable. My phone company has no relationship with TV. They only do phones. And I have DSL.
The only time that I'm on FR everyday is when I work on the FReepathon.
Again, regardless of my internet usage I WILL continue to criticize libs and their control of television.

There was nothing “homophobic” in what he said. Nothing at all.

“All he had to do was say as a Christian he believes homosexuality to be a sin.”
He did, with nothing more than explaining why he believes it in the simplest clearest terms. Perfectly reasonable. They asked, he answered.

Yup. Let’s laugh AT these Louisiana backwoods rednecks.
It was a plan that backfired.

Maybe they are, but whether they keep the show or not, any DD merchandise sales will always benefit them
How many people know the difference between Duck Dynast and Duck Commander.
My question is not A&E benefiting, but how does canceling my cable hurt them? I don’t watch reality TV and I never watch anything on A&E, so canceling my cable sends what message?
I do not watch Duck Dynasty, but I agree with everything Phil said.

Cancelling cable sends a message to them. Whether you use A&E or not they get paid.

Here is a hand.
Actually it has been over 6 years since I stopped receiving ANY outside TV in my home. The vast majority of it is trash and I do not need it in my home.
I decide what comes in. And by cancelling outside TV, I also do not support the evil that is presented as ‘modern programming’.

Wow. Such a reply is worthy of DU.
The man speaks truth and it seems to have offended, rendering the one offended unable to form any coherent thought beyond a basic attempt to silence the one speaking that truth.

This is not about Phil it is about the 'Bible' and trying to make it hate speech....period. The very foundation our freedoms were founded on they are trying to make hate speech.
Sorry, I stand with Phil over what liberals are doing to our society and forcing on Christians.
It is time to choose, to make a stand. Do we as a people allow these evil people suppress the 'Bible', God and his followers or stand up and say we have had enough of God being silenced.

It did not sit will with the New York TV types. Same thing as happened with All In The Family. Idiots in Hollywood will never learn.
