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 Robertsons 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."

I agree!!! They need our support. We need to unleash the Free Republic influence.
Here’s the lie, the depravity:
“Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil’s lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe,” GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz said. “He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans — and Americans — who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples. Phil’s decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors, who now need to re-examine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families.”
No Wilson Cruz, Christians do not accept practicing homosexuals. Wilson Cruz You are the one out of step with reality. The majority of Americans DO NOT accept this depravity or believe your relationships are loving.
What get’em upset wasPhil quoting Corinthians where it speaks out against all of these sins and says they won’t enter into Heaven.
Could you post that examiner article here?
I couldn’t read it at the site, too many ads blocking the text. One leaves, and another pops up.
Not worth it.
If it’s not reported anywhere else, the examiner is just making it up. Sick sleazy website
Lets nuke em. Just to be sure.
I love that quote.
He wanted to leave. This is staged folks.
Shhh! You will awaken some of the tv-watching idiots.
Thank you.
A&E will feel the wrath of their viewership. I don’t know who the CEO is but he/she better be sending out resumes right now.
So: With A%E you have to be an Atheist bungholer to stay on the telly.
Dayam!
Look at the upvote count on the top comment!
It literally running like the sale on a gas pump!
I’ve never seen votes run that fast on Discuss!!

>>What getem upset wasPhil quoting Corinthians where it speaks out against all of these sins and says they wont enter into Heaven.
Nah. Humanists don’t care about heaven. What made them so mad was that he actually said it: that gay men have anal sex. They like to keep that secret and tell all the teenage boys that its all about hugging and light kissing and “just being dudes that like dudes”. They don’t like to have any light shined on exactly what homo-SEXual means in physical terms.
In Obama language, “that’s bad optics”.

I wish RNC committeeman Dave Agema could get as much support as Robertson. Democrats and liberal republicans are screaming for his resignation for telling the truth about the costs associated with aids in Obamacare.
Time to stop watching their shows.
I find most of the shows on TV to be highly offensive
