A&E has caved and Phil Robertson will remain on Duck Dynasty:
As a global media content company, A+E Networks core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect. We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into peoples home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principals.
That is why we reacted so quickly and strongly to a recent interview with Phil Robertson. While Phils comments made in the interview reflect his personal views based on his own beliefs, and his own personal journey, he and his family have publicly stated they regret the coarse language he used and the mis-interpretation of his core beliefs based only on the article. He also made it clear he would never incite or encourage hate. We at A+E Networks expressed our disappointment with his statements in the article, and reiterate that they are not views we hold.

No, coarse language would have been his using the word “a$$holes” in place of anuses (or should that be ani?).
I just read another article about Chick-fil-A. The average year-over-year sales increased 4.9% for the largest 500 companies, while Chick-fil-A saw 14.1%. The homosexuals lost two wars.
The Homo’s have been running amuck and people have been putting up with it . It’s time they were settled down a bit.
A&E might choke on all the crow they have had to eat to keep their golden duck.
face-saving BS.
A&E cannot stand up to the GayKK...they want their Duck Dynasty and rear end sex, too.
1. Diversity is a two-way street, when demanded and defended as such.
2. We must refuse to “celebrate” a disability which leads to deviant, unnatural behavior.
This is going to get really interesting.
The gay community doesn’t take defeat lying down, so to speak.
It’s unlikely that they will let this rest and choose another battle. If they do, it will hurt them, among their followers, more than if they continue to fight.
They are boxed into a corner.
Next up will be their influence in our public schools.
There will be dozens and dozens of K-12 kids that will be reprimanded or disciplined in some way for wearing “Duck Dynasty” T-shirts etc, when they return to school.
Mark my words.
GLAAD is basically funded by the NEA.
This should be lesson to Republicans! It is not what you are against, but what you are for that counts.2014 is days away.

You're dead on the money, managusta; most unfortunately, the Republican party is the party of "Me, too! Me, too! Me, too!"
A&E’s statement is garbage.
Until they publicly apologize, there is no A&E in my home.
Reinstating Phil is not an apology or an admission of wrongdoing
Well, they really took it in the backside this time......oh, wait....
Yeah, seems like their motto should be “Now with 1.2% less tyranny!”, with a big smile and the big tooth sparkle, 50’s commercial style.
I agree. Calling for a truce and claiming “no harm no foul” is BS. Robertson should demand a meaningful apology, completely devoid of any cheap shots at him or his beliefs, before returning.
Is what you are saying a matter of "messaging" ?
"I'm for clean water", and by default, their opponent is against it ?
And their opponent is put on the defensive?
So, if Republicans say, "I'm for the privacy of individuals" as opposed to saying "I'm against the NSA's spying", they will attract more voters ?
To be clear, A & E backed down.
GLAAD etc, hasn’t.
I used to tolerate homos, but I now hate the bastards
