Well then, that’s not much of a “suspension” is it?

Our goal is to get him back on the show, or have the show continue on another network. That will show GLAAD.

The next season is already in the can, the question is will they include Phil when they start shooting the following season?

So A&E waited until the new season was in the can before pulling this stunt with that magazine. Isn’t that cute!

All of the 2014 episodes have already been taped.

I hope that the Robertsons walk away from A&E. Christians need to have a role model for someone who is willing sacrifice for his faith.

Hmmm, viewership dropped by 75%, and they have a whole season in the can. Call me very surprised (NOT) to see them wise up here.

Imagine only 25% of the audience remaining for that season, and A&E with a lot of spots to sell at 25% of the former value.

CaCHING!

A&E will likely do less promotion for the show, and move the new episodes to a different time slot.

That'll show us rubes, for supporting a show that we're supposed to be laughing at over caviar and French wine in our penthouses.

You can bank on the fact that they only did this show to poke fun at stupid redneck Christians and when that didn’t happen, they enabled the GQ story to leak so they could be “outraged” and satisfy their Gay Mafia string-pullers.

Well, it didn’t work. Here’s hoping the Robertsons continue to find ways of demonstrating their faith, and the true character of this nation, for the elite A&E liberals who thought this was a good idea.

It would be very cool if Robertson filed a motion to block release of the new episodes. Probably wouldn’t hold water but it would be enough to at least cause a delay.

The way I read the article, A&E is going to air episodes that have already been taped. That doesn’t mean they are going to continue taping new shows with Phil Robertson and the family or that he’s been rehired (so to speak).

It appears A&E is airing the pre-filmed episodes and trying to make it look as though all is forgiven and the family is on board with it.

“Follow the money. When someone says it’s not about the money, it’s always about the money...”

A&E and Duck Commander are getting free advertising, name brand recognition, Web ad hits, and REVENUE.

This was guerrilla marketing, and kabuki theater.

The Soviets used to air brush “non-persons” out of official photographs. Perhaps A&E could consult an old Soviet manual and simply remove Phil, frame by frame.

Or A&E could be more creative, and replace Phil's head with Joe Biden’s head. After all, Slow Joe is a noted authority on shotguns. He would fit right in.

Though I suspect they’ve already been up to some editing. Doesn’t the Robinson family always end their Grace with, “In Jesus’ name”?

I didn’t hear it the other night, and it sounded like it had been cut out to me.

The war may still be on.
