One gay man said it was like a hard wet snapping towel in the men shower.

I would bet he loves that.
Sure he has experienced it, probably did the snapping a few times in a gay bathhouse.

I bet A&E are now a big doner to GLAAD, if they werent before.
And Jesse Jackson.
To: tx_eggman
LOL.
Maybe now people will think before jumping on the queer bandwagon.

Now, if A&E would take the same kind of “not here, not now” stance with Jezzie Jaxon, maybe, MAYBE, the harassment will begin to ebb.
Just a little.
Don’t expect a “come to Jesus” moment for A&E, though.

Be it as it may, I still don’t watch A&E. I was flipping channels the other night, Duck Dynasty was on the A&E channel, I continued flipping. Friday The first 48 was on A&E. Before they suspended Phil, I watched The First 48 religiously. Now I go to another channel. I have no desire to watch A& E, now or in the forseeable future.

Just the point they will not stop. We won this fight but they will be back.

A&E is still as condemning of Phils statements, as is GLAAD, and they will likely try to make a mockery of him going forward. The whole premise of doing Duck Dynasty in the first place was to make a mockery of people like Robertson and his "ilk". A&E had hoped to make money on a show that would mock Christian values and instead they made a fortune promoting the values they originally intended to mock.
This whole GQ interview was a setup by A&E to try to keep the show, but change the direction away from the values of its patriarch.
Now A&E has opened up a new can of worms. The queer lobby has gone a bridge too far and people are not only fed up, but taking public stands against the tyranny of political correctness.
Phil Robertson 2016!

Bull crap she and the rest at A&E are liars no one threatened her at least not from the Christian side..If there were threats then it came from some liberal queer that told her not to reinstate Phil..
The Robertson's should tare up the contract with AE as soon as it is time to renew..Go to another network..I would not want to be associated with the liars and I hope they don't either..As for me I will just pass A&E up and not watch anything on there again except DD..

Too little, too late as far as I am concerned. A&E can kiss my hetero arse! The percentage of the population that is gay is EXTREMELY small and won't be watching this show anyway.
As Cracker Barrel recently learned...you serve southern cuisine (and I used that word lightly). Hell, I am a lowly citizen and I know your demographic!!!
A&E may call themselves Art and Entertainment network but you ain't Broadway or The Met!! You are a freaking tv channel watched mainly for a show about duck call makers!!! You prostitute yourself just like a 42nd Street crack whore. You are no better. Don't fool yourself into thinking you are - that was your first mistake.

Blacks don’t like being lumped in with the queers when issues of civil rights are discussed. Sex isn’t a civil right.

“This is not a stinging defeat. What is the current position but the same place that Phil was in before he was suspended? What was gained? Nothing, only a couple of weeks was lost. A&E is still as condemning of Phils statements, as is GLAAD, and they will likely try to make a mockery of him going forward.”
They were taking too much heat. This is a way to get it out of the light and let people forget about it while making them believe a great victory was won, It’s just another way of controlling the herd. Edward Bernays (he should have been strangled at birth) would be proud.

Significant turning point in the culture wars, against radical activists who have been able to bully their way into our living rooms.
Like the sound of that about time PC dies.

"He also made it clear he would never incite or encourage hate.

If dialogue with Phil is not part of next steps then A+E has chosen profits over African American and gay people especially its employees and viewers. No, butt rangers. The truth has finally emerged. If "dialogue" with Phil IS part of next steps, then A&E has chosen cowardice over principle, and political correctness over profits. Viewers of "Duck Dynasty" do NOT support homosexuals, and the vast majority of A&E employees are heterosexuals, as is the vast majority of Americans.
Your bullying days are over.
