"Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson has been suspended indefinitely by A&E Networks following controversial remarks about homosexuality, Variety reported Wednesday.

I wrote A&E. I expressed my disappointment and stated that I would block A&E in my home but would continue to watch Duck Dynasty as that is what the haters want. I can enter the channel manually. My friends and family will be encouraged to do the same.
“Important enough to post 5 more times.”
I concur.
Feel free!
A&E would have to suspend the whole family to keep the libs and gays happy. The libs and the gays are very delicate, and A&E wouldn't want to upset them.
And that would be perfect! The Robertsons would move on to another cable station, and A&E could go back to running stale reruns from the 1970's.
Yes, he is refreshing in that he really doesn’t care what others think. He had a life changing experience with the Lord Jesus and he is not changing his message for anybody.
He’ll probably be duck hunting tomorrow.
The Robertsons don’t need A&E’s money. And Duck Commander will continue to be very profitable because there are plenty more God fearing folks than there are homosexuals.
This was inevitable. Their success was going to be challenged by evil forces, and the homosexual lobby is evil.
They cry for tolerance, but are intolerant of others.
It has moved from "the love that dare not speak its name" to "the perversion that will not SHUT UP."
Megyn Kelly is the biggest queer lover on Fox so watch her rip into Phil Robrertson.
I don’t see how the show can go on. I think once the shows in the can have been aired, the series is toast......on A&E. I think everyone else on the show will make a stand tomorrow and the network will let them go. If either side backs down, it’s capitulation......
We don’t have freedom of speech if you are Conservative.
I thought of that, but I wonder how much of the funds that are earned from those items actually goes to the Robertsons.

A&E just committed an unforced error in suspending Phil Robertson. I hope they rue the day they sided with the minuscule minority gay community (which doesn’t watch Duck Dynasty anyway) instead of supporting a member of the cast of their top-rated program.
The silent majority shall remain silent no more. Good for Phil Robertson for speaking his mind. I hope A&E gets burned badly by this decision.
After what A&E just did to Phil, I'd force them to issue a huge public apology, then walk on principle anyway.
The Robertson family was financially successful before A&E came into their lives. I'll bet they're even more successful now. They don't need A&E. A&E needs them.
Better to buy something directly from the Robertson's company if you want to support them. A&E gets a cut of all the Duck Dynasty merchandise sold at Walmart.
You are a troll and your comments are not welcome.
They sure got one from me. I also 'liked' two separate Facebook pages that sprang up to support Phil Robertson and left comments there, too.
If it was a moslum who had said it, he would still be working ....probably with a bonus.
FREE SPEECH IS THERE TO PROTECT HATEFUL TERRIBLE SPEECH....Speech like the King of England is a Tyrant, the Earth is not the center of the Universe, The Pope is not good...and so on. Actually its Freedom of Hate Speech, ‘cause happy nice pretty speech needs no protection.
Thank you for saying that. This isn't the usual bs Hollywood story.
This incident strikes right at the heart of one of the most damaging aspects of our modern 'culture'. It's a depraved article of faith of the deep left that needs to be addressed by the majority in this country.
