A&E has placed Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson on indefinite hiatus following anti-gay remarks he made in a recent profile in GQ.

"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," A&E said in a statement. "His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely."

Walmart has 345 DD products and makes $400 mil a year from them. This is NO Paula Deen.

Buy DD products. Walmart has free shipping for the next 48 hours.

Boycott A&E.

[GeronL]

How long before Wal-Mart pulls those products?

[GeronL]

You need to call them intolerant, they hate that

[GeronL]

too bad there aren’t any conservative channels, Fox owns a lot of channels but none of them can be called conservative

[GeronL]

They might have no control of the show. A&E probably owns it. Where would they move it to?

[BunnySlippers]

That;s what we’re going to find out.

I think this is different than Paula Deen. Even on many Liberal sites today people were taking his side in agreeing homosexual sex is disgusting.

I think there is going to be a backlash.

“How do we contact A&E....? anyone have a email link?”

My youngest daughter bought a Duck Commander duck call and uses it on telemarketers. She doesn’t hunt like her Daddy, but bought it because she wanted to support the Robertsons and their Christian witness.

Looks like its time to drop A&E and move to the Outdoor Channel.

No kidding. They are 1.7% of the US population. Ask J. C. Penny how that worked out for them. It's obvious that GQ only asked the question because they knew the answer would bring him down and create a firestorm. I admire his honesty. What else could a Christian that know what the Bible says about homosexuals could say? The Bible is quite clear about it. Phil will come out of this with his soul intact which is more than I can say about A&E. Maybe people should send them clips from Memri and what Preachers of Islam says about it. I was telling my husband about it and had to explain to him what GQ even was.

A&E prefers the anus.

So A&E means Anuses and Enemas?

[MagnoliaB]

Just the same way I did Oprah Winfrey all those many years ago.

[2001convSVT]

Time to move to another network.

[Las Vegas Ron]

LOL....the DUmmies are apoplectic!

[MagnoliaB]

Unless they have some kind of contract. If so, if I were them I would make A&E’s life hell for the duration.

[Rebelbase]

The Anus and Enema Network. ROTF!

Less than an hour and a half after your post the likes are over 16,000.

Congratulations you nitwits. The only show I watch on your effete channel is Duck Dynasty. Your hysteric response to Mr Robertson’s honest and moral comments to the interviewer has convinced me that A&E has no future for me. I’m pretty sure you need the Robertson’s more than they need you. By the way, I’m also finished with your sponsors until you apologize to Mr Robertson and retract your petulant statements. Good luck fools.
