“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson has been fired from the reality program following his controversial remarks in GQ magazine regarding homosexuality.

A+E Networks, parent company of A&E, has released the following statement to Variety:

“We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty. His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community.”

Phil should hire Imus’ attorney and sue their pants off!

Phil was literally clear on his view of taking one up the kiester. Pretty sure he won't take to the figurative any better!

Crosscheck the list for LGBTQ organization membership, funding or support. If in doubt, consult your local NSA. They should know.

Truly, I imagine every man, woman and dog on this Aeanetworks list down to the last one, is more than likely a registered Dummycrat.

I sent A&E my own protest letter as has several family members. I'd say one of two things is fixing to happen. Either A&E makes a retraction due to fan and sponsorship pressure including highly vested Walmart. Or the rest of the family walks as well and takes the show likely by another name to another less PC and family oriented network.

I do support Phil Robertson and his comments.

I cancel my cable and I don’t get Fox News and some other shows I enjoy. This is not a “cable” problem... this is an A and E problem.

No...it's a cable problem. You're paying for it...MSNBC, MTV, CNN, A&E, Lifetime...you are paying it. You are subsidizing them so you can watch what you enjoy.

Oh Forbes “ANTI GAY RANT”

Holy crap, talk about crazy extreme headlines.

The media is filled with queers, this we know. And of course so is entertainment. They all live in their own little agenda driven world where most people say “Wtf”.

The rest of the cast should refuse to do the show without him and encourage people NOT to buy the merchandise if A&E gets a cut.

Just heard Fox & FRiends, and they indicated that after the article came out by GQ (I understand they held the article for some time)People of the gay community came out in protest insisting something happen.

Apparently A&E did not wait to see what the rest of the country felt about it.

I think the beard hanging out of the bottom would be a hoot.

Duck Commander brand is owned by the family. The Duck Dynasty brand is owned by A and E. The stuff you see at Walmart is mostly Duck Dynasty by A and E.

So I filled it out expressing to them that the First Amendment is the most important Freedom given to us under the Constitution.


Just for the record. The first amendment does not apply to this.

actually his remarks were in the mainstream.. he said he thinks vagina is the way to go and not anus. i thought we accepted that most are hetero and a few are homo. Are heteros not allowed to say their way is best when everyone accepts that that’s what they think?

what’s controversial? that he said the other way is a sin???

OF COURSE he said that. It’s only thousands of years of judeo-christian cultural belief.,
