Conservatives should really get a site and start making their own shows. Might be cheesy at first but if it caught on the quality and quantity would improve.
Freerepublic.tv?
Wonder why Drudge gives this story a big splash?
Oh noes...what if non-believers believed in Jesus?
This may be the incident that breaks the back of political correctness. The backlash will be huge. Political correctness is stifling free speech and debate in this country. If this man can be penalized for such comments and his own opinions free speech is in grave danger. True the A&E network is not the government but its actions are chilling and wrong
Yeah.
So—who disagrees with him?
I mean, REALLY disagrees?
Didn’t think so.
Boycott A&E and it’s advertisers? Boycott the show??
Some high level homos in A&E top management got their panties in a wad and have made a mistake that will cost A&E to lose the top rated cable show.
A+E Networks fires Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson -demonstrating their support for male anus ****ers everywhere.
just AE CEO #

A&E will go back to being an irrelevant network.
A&E and many of our media today really has this homosexual stuff out of whack. The percentage of population of homosexuals is about 1-2%...yes I know the homos think its like 25% Not according to this article in The Atlantic It’s sad when such a small, sick part of our population can cause such fear and be so powerful.

Doesn’t he have the money to just say screw you and go put his program on his own network? Hello Netflix...?
Why are companies so willing to commit financial suicide for the sake of pandering to gays?
JC Penny anyone?
A&E just flushed the highest rated cable program for the gay agenda?
Makes no sense.
Is A&E Networks implying they could never stoop so low as to defend TRUTH, morality, and logical sense?
Cuz that’s what it sounds like, to me. (sarc)
Imagine the surprise of all the sheep, after floating down the world’s cesspool(meaning, doing what the “world” does)as they turn around to see where they are headed......
.....I envision, a feverish BACK-stroke.
An A&E spokesman had no comment, but Robertson released his own statement responding to the controversy.
“I myself am a product of the 60s; I centered my life around sex, drugs and rock and roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior,” he said. “My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the Bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together.
“However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”
Could we see a preference cascade?
From Instapundit:
“This illustrates, in a mild way, the reason why totalitarian regimes collapse so suddenly. (Click here for a more complex analysis of this and related issues). Such regimes have little legitimacy, but they spend a lot of effort making sure that citizens don’t realize the extent to which their fellow-citizens dislike the regime. If the secret police and the censors are doing their job, 99% of the populace can hate the regime and be ready to revolt against it – but no revolt will occur because no one realizes that everyone else feels the same way.
This works until something breaks the spell, and the discontented realize that their feelings are widely shared, at which point the collapse of the regime may seem very sudden to outside observers – or even to the citizens themselves. Claims after the fact that many people who seemed like loyal apparatchiks really loathed the regime are often self-serving, of course. But they’re also often true: Even if one loathes the regime, few people have the force of will to stage one-man revolutions, and when preferences are sufficiently falsified, each dissident may feel that he or she is the only one, or at least part of a minority too small to make any difference.”
