“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson has been fired from the reality program following his controversial remarks in GQ magazine regarding homosexuality.

A+E Networks, parent company of A&E, has released the following statement to Variety:

“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. His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community.”

Thinking about this more. They suspended Phil. I’d bet a dollar to a donut that is all A+E could do that would not give the rest of the family a pass to walk and shop their popularity/show to another network. Be interesting to see how this plays out. I don’t see the sons or Si sitting idly by.

The new protected class shuts their eyes and ears to the truth. And it is being put on a pedestal this year. Literally. The Rose Bowl parade will feature two homosexuals doing the unspeakable. "...The wedding of Danny Leclair, 45, and Aubrey Loots, 42, will take place atop a giant wedding cake-shaped float sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, according to a press release..."

Sodom and Gomorrah in America celebrated in front of the parade's global audience. Days of Lot...

Watch it on Netflix, screw them.

they don’t have to walk off, they just have to come out in support of Phil (which they will) and the idiot sodomite lovers at A&E will kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

At which point the Robertsons will just move the show to another channel (having been released from their current contract) and make 10 times more money.

The Robinson family should just say no more.

Yep. I just turned on A&E to see if they were gonna quit right here-right now. Maybe run re-runs of some different show.

They didn’t. They are going with DD.

But I think next hour - they will air a new episode. We’ll see if they have the guts to pull the Robertsons today.

I say they don’t.

[jazusamo]

A&E has been suspended indefinitely in this household.

[MeshugeMikey]

quick everybody grow a 2 foot long beard...

calling A and E seems like the only way I can think of to support the dynasty

demanding that they reinstate em....or lose subscribers...is likely the best plan.

if we dont act soon we will be faced with the likelhood of havng access to but one cable network....

oh there will likely be an ESPN / LGBT.....but who needs that...

[dragnet2]

So is the series cancelled, or this one individual?

If they have an ounce of guts and or honor, they'll all cancel out and refuse to work for these AHs.

BBBBBWWWWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hey, YO!

PBoi Metromen,

You gonna get pegged big time, fo sure.

RONTFLMFAO.

Duck Guys Don’t NEED your stinking money. And THAT’S what SCARES the PEE outta you.

Watch Vlad PUTIN give them a show all their own, bout Duck Huntin in Siberia!

[mware]

He is the patriarch of the family. Going to be hard to film the prayer at the end of each episode without Phil. Which is exactly what the liberals want. They want this show gone.

[cuban leaf]

I don’t even have TV, but I can buy their stuff.

[US_MilitaryRules]

I would watch a show with just Phil! Get your own show Phil!

[South40]

May A&E go the way of JC Penney.

Coddle the gays. See where it gets you.
