You have to admit, this kind of free publicity would have cost DD a fortune if they had to buy it.

A&E could care less if Phil benefits from this......they just want their ‘goose who lays golden eggs’ back........money!

It was already scheduled well before the controversy. Nice try. The fact is many who would have normally watched it, or a portion of it, are now boycotting it.

It is also a fact that Phil continues to preach his viewpoints both before and after and A&E, who is known to be GLADD friendly, spent time early in the morning on the phone with GLADD immediately prior to the announced suspension.

DD doesn’t need the publicity, A&E does. The Robertson family was doing just fine before A&E came a callin’and they will continue to be.

Probably just testing the waters to see how many will tune in before they have to throw in the towel. Testing the waters they are. Tis best to block that channel on your remote.

And whatever might be said about money in this situation, the liberals and their gay agenda found out once again just how powerful conservative,redstate America is.

Liberals and gays in America are a minority and will never be successful at forcing their agenda on the rest of us.

In this case, it was Phil Robertson who relayed the message.

Conservative America is the sleeping giant that Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto spoke of in 1941.

And He sure picked a strong, Godly family to take on the issue!

Duckmen And Women.....UNITE :)

The gays who work all over A&E should count their blessings. The money rolling in from Duck Dynasty is what enables them to live a lux gay lifestyle in New York City. There are tons of businesses and sex businesses etc that cater to the rich and upper crust gays in NY...so shut up chumps!!!

The channel is celebrating Christmas with a staggering 25 consecutive episodes of
their No. 1 show, beginning at 3:30 p.m. on Christmas Day and running until the
wee hours of Dec. 26.


Nothing new about that scheduling as they along with the History channel and
others do this with some of their shows. Pawn Stars, the various Storage Locker
shows, 1st 48, etc. are done this way each week as fillers.

Gays never had it so good!!! The taxpayers are paying for their $40,000 per years AIDs treatments if they come down with it. So stop yer griping!!!!! You got yer gay marraige. Soon you will have married gays quarters in the military...and the list goes on....

Check out the Federal workforce in the DC region. Gays are way over represented due to hyper-affirmative action. I’ll bet up to 15% of Federal workers in greater DC are gay or lesbian. The Congressional and Senate staffs are full of them....way past their 1-2-3% of the population

A&E is still on my do not watch list.

Let’s hope others do likewise.

Am I the only one to think that the suspension was supposed to be meaningless? They aren't filming right now, so suspend him for a couple of months, get a public apology and all would be profitable forgiven. Then it got out of control with Phil sticking to his guns rather than being quietly regretful like A&E would have liked. There was a reason why he was suspended rather than immediately fired as would have happened to most who commited thoughtcrimes against homosexuality.

Also Christmas time is about the worst time of year for any kind of hate campaign. Gay demands (strident and mindless per usual) fell on deaf ears that have Christmas, family get togethers, days off work and school on their minds

I’m pretty sure when the Robertson family gets a legal chance they are going to tell A&E to duck off and will go to a network more appropriate for them.
