But that’s the “Catch 22,” isn’t it? I’m sure the Robertsons get some of the money as their likeness is used in the merchandise, but doesn’t a lot of that money go right into A&E’s pocket?

Don't know, but every time a person wears a hat or t-shirt with DD, they're showing their support for the DD family. The stuff should be seen everywhere.
98% of the American population is NOT homosexual. 98% understands what the old man said about attraction to the opposite sex and agrees with it.

Sounds like it. I would love to see, just once, professed Christians in this day and age stand on conviction and the Word Of God over any other concern. Easy for me to say, I know, and I pray for the same strength from The Holy Spirit when/if my day comes.

Cool — they’re sticking to their guns.

Don't forget the Bible and religion too -- completing Bammy's trifecta.

Just as most of us expected the Robertsons will stick together.

Yeah, I think he’s probably right on target. His explanation fits the evidence and the givens (especially scheming liberal arrogance) to a tee.

This isn’t a free speech issue, it’s a matter of of accountability for one’s actions. I’m not a “Duck” viewer but he had every right to say what he did, and to state his opinion about certain homo behaviors.

Now he’s being held to account, and if Robertson is the man he seems to be, there’s little doubt he will stand by what he said and let the chips fall as they may. If that means they part company with A&E, it would be a decision of conscience and I’m sure there would be no lost sleep over it.

This isn’t a free speech issue,...

He was fired for expressing his religious beliefs and it wasn't on A&E's time.
What issue is that?

She's talking to some girly type guy. I think he may be one of those guys that lusts after another man anus .....the issue being discussed by most people right now.

The liberals are angry because DD reminded them what homosexuality really is. It's not sweet, pretty, or normal. The word "gay" has put a pretty face on one of the most vilest and ugly of passions. They don't want people reminded of what these people actually do with each other.

He said straight out that he’s a poofter. More importantly he lied about what Phil had said.

IMO, A&E and Duck Dynasty could go away tomorrow and that family and that man in particular would be just fine. They would still be happy, they would still be a family, they would still have Jesus and they would still hunt duck..
The don’t need the TV show, they already have their riches.

Yeah. I caught that. He was whining like a little girl and making up the so called "attacks" as he/she/it went along.
Pathetic creature. Something is seriously wrong in the head of these people. He/she/it made 'ol Phil look like a genius - and a normal, masculine, testosterone laden human male as well!

I am currently losing out on business because I quietly stated my Christian views on homosexuality and refused to go along silently. It’s ok, I’m glad I stayed true to my beliefs.

I pray their family is blessed. It may not be financially, but that’s ok.

Phil Robertson’s Entire Family Stands by Him, Implies Duck Dynasty Can’t Continue Unless He Returns

http://www.eonline.com/news/492746/phil-robertson-s-entire-family-stands-by-him-implies-duck-dynasty-can-t-continue

“We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right. We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family.”

Ten dollars a month? No thank you.

Millions and millions of “christians” will side with perverts and liberals over Jesus. Like Phil says, “It’s not logical.”

Phil Robertson quit pro football to go duck hunting. He doesn’t.care what A&E does to him, especially since he holds the cards and has the support of viewers!
