A&E has placed Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson on indefinite hiatus following anti-gay remarks he made in a recent profile in GQ.
[snip} The news comes after Robertson compared homosexuality to bestiality in an interview with the magazine. He'll likely appear in season four, which bows Jan. 15, since production is largely wrapped.

He did not compare homosexuality to bestiality. He listed homosexuality, adultery, casual fornication, and bestiality as among behaviors he thought were immoral, a list consistent with 2,000 years of Christianity.
Just scanned that website - as Joe Kenda the Homicide Hunter would say, ‘Wonderful, just wonderful’. I am sure that under Obamacare the bonesmokers and rump wranglers will have to pay much higher premiums commensurate with their suicidally high risk behavior. Right? After all, if I decide to take up Pall Malls, Copenhagen and a half a bottle of Herra Dura every day, again, my premiums are going to be jacked up plenty, right?
Oh noes, it’s gaining: He belongs in a re-education camp. (8%)

The main phone number for A&E is not working. This link has all the phone numbers for the advertising big-wigs.
Call & give them a piece of your mind.

A & E better watch their ass. If they piss off the old man, they can say goodbye to the show...to millions in add revenues...and their own ratings.
You are 100% correct -A&E should stew in its own reactive petard over this. I hope the whole Robertson family says it’s all of us or none of us— then they can shop their show to a family-friendly network, if there is any such thing any more. the Leftist/Globalist/NWO seems to be able to call all the shots unless we just stop watching.
I have to ask how such a tiny faction of Society gets to wag the whole Dog the way they do. Perhaps they are just fronting all this Chaos so that there will be no rules. Then the muslim immigrants can finally marry 8 year old girls and have multiple wives right here in the former USA.
“he answered with his opinion”
He can now say: You wanted my opinion....you can’t handle my opinion!
Unlike the Kartrashians, who would commit mass suicide if they were suspended from televised famewhoredom, I don’t think this will negatively affect the Robertson Clan.
If anything, they will use it as an opportunity to move on to bigger and better things. Or do nothing at all, and still be a successful, close-knit, Christian family (like they were before the series)
A&E can suck it.
Let us hope that it's posted a half dozen times more.
But to boycott that show now is to punish the Robertson family.
Watch it. Pull it up on video on demand. But tell A&E that you are going to boycott every other show they have until Phil Robertson is returned to the show and A&E apologizes to their fans for being intolerant of the religious convictions of genuine Christians.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Where can I get a list of verboten words?
Maybe the list of approved words is shorter?
Do we need to whittle our vocabularies down to 50 words like a rap star in order to please the government?
The Robertsons make more money from their business than they do from A&E. Trust me, they won’t suffer.
Phil is a shrewd guy. He’s been at odds with the producers for sometime now. Its been rumored that he might walk off the show. If he walks he does damage to his 18 million person fan base. If he gets thrown off the show for weighing in on a highly emotional topic, and weighing in exactly like his 18 million fans believe.... he wins big time. He keeps the fan base and when his no-compete clause runs out the family will be even stronger.
It's quite clear that all you watch is football and basketball.
Reminds me of a story of Patty and Flynn from the Emerald Isle... 
back when they were still in the old country--
Patty walked into Cohan's Pub, ordered a pint of Guiness and exclaimed, "Saints of Mercy, I just ran into one of Flint O'Shey's boys at the Clairmorris Crossroads! Terrible, terrible--"
"How," asked Flynn, "is that so terrible?"
"He told me his Mum had died," answered Patty after a health swallow. "He was quiet upset, bawling up a storm."
"Bejaysus," exclaimed Flynn, "what did you do?"
"I asked him if he wanted me to to call Father O'Riley?"
"Did ya?"
"No," said Patty, motioning for another pint. "The lad said, 'No thanks, perhaps tomorrow. Right now, sex is the last thing on me mind at the moment.'"
Now, if that is not enough to enrage everyone on the left... 
I've just got back from Subway's with a foot-long roast beef sandwich, large chips, ear of corn and a jumbo sausage.
When I came out to get into my car, a homeless man sat by the door and said "I've not eaten for two days."
I told him, "I wish... 
I had your will power."
Nothing like giving advice on something you know very little about...
