'Duck Dynasty's' Phil Robertson on Indefinite Hiatus Following Anti-Gay Remarks

Hollywood Reporter ^ | December 18, 2013 | Phil Robertson

[yoe]

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.

I have been thinking for a while now that the left will have to destroy them.

I hope they (DD) understand who and what they are dealing with. Duck Dynasty has all the power here. Praying they are given the wisdom to use it wisely.

[TYVets]

Oh noes, it’s gaining: He belongs in a re-education camp. (8%)

They should lock up Phil.

After Mandela was imprisoned his name became known world wide.

Yep.... no doubt DD stars came out with details about their past to pre-empt the left agenda. Would be really interesting to read Phil's contract. I'd love to know how long the non-compete clause is.

And will be interesting to see what the rest of the family does. I'm praying they stick with their dad.

“He listed homosexuality, adultery, casual fornication, and bestiality as among behaviors he thought were immoral, a list consistent with 2,000 years of Christianity.”

Also correct:

He listed homosexuality, adultery, casual fornication, and bestiality as among behaviors he thought were immoral, a list consistent with plain old common sense.

Even if some revisionist tried to make Christianity say these things were OK, they would STILL be wrong. You don’t need Christianity to know these things are SICK.

Nothing more than common sense is required! The left tries to make this wrong only because Christianity says it is wrong. You only have to have the brains of a marble to know it is wrong.

I’m praying that the rest of the family follows Phil off the set.

[ohioman]

Do you agree with what A&E did to Phil?

[DrewsMum]

Actually they don’t have the right to hire/fire whom they want.

Think affirmative action.

[Valpal1]

Yeah, and duck season just started where he lives, LOL. He’s taking a vacay.

[P-Marlowe]

The show is free advertising for their business.

I wasn’t a fan until now.

I only watched one episode. Now it’s my favorite show on TV.

[thefactor]

No, but they are free to do it. I’m not sure how they’ll keep him off the show. Isn’t it filmed at his house with his family? Are they going to tell his family not to hang out with him, or will they edit him out?

In reply a photo of Jeff Chandler, also for no particular reason:

[Jeff Chandler]

Sorry, Bendy. I think of you as a friend.

[Bender2]

Re: I think of you as a friend.

If that is so-- Gadzooks! What was in that E-Cigarette... you gave me?

[ohioman]

Even though they are free to do it, A&E is still 100% the scum of the earth for doing what they have done. With Phil gone, the show is gone.

[Jeff Chandler]

NEW!

Tesla brand electronic cigarettes

[Bender2]

I've got to say, Jeff, they are not any better than the other smokes... you left here yesterday--

Nothing like giving advice on something you know very little about...

I wasn't giving advice on a TV show. The advice was if you want to 'hurt' A&E for their bigoted actions, don't support them. DD will only come out stronger for this, wherever they land.
