I saw dog biscuits at a farm store last summer.

OK, so you can't fire someone for being gay, but you can fire someone who doesn't agree with being gay?

yeahp
 

well yeah this is

keschun

how dont thiink vajayj is beter than mens but?

The show is a hit, but it's not infallible to advertisers' behavior, which is to run for the hills for a while. By suspending him, they're trying to save the show.

And why there wasn't a publicist on hand for a GQ interview I have no idea.

Good point but I think Martin got fired or resigned.

Good for you Phil.
First amendment?
John Q. Public will rally round him for saying what he feels.

Here y'all go

Not really a big bobby jindal fan but I'm glad to see him backin ole Phil.

Brace yourself guys, judging by the incoherence of this pos, we may have the real RATDOG back on our hands. Clever name change too!

i see rat dog is alive and well welcome back

We should boycott a&e indefinitely, regardless of if they put him back on or not.

That's gotta be a burn handle.

That's what I'm screaming. They have shown their true colors and how coward they are to fold to the pressure of a few queers. A&E is no longer welcomed in my house...... Sucks too cause I love The First 48.

In case anyone wanted to express their feelings

Oh Phil has an open invitation to move his show to The Blaze if he wants to leave A&E. That would be an interesting shift.

Phil fell for the oldest trap in liberal broadcasting. Never, ever give personal opinions on religion and politics to a liberal media if you're a conservative religious believer. These broadcasting companies will do anything to bring down a cable network series that is out-preforming their prime time programs..... a program that promotes shooting guns, no drinking or drugs, no nudity or profanity and to top it off, horrors of horrors, a blessing at meal time at the end of each segment! Come on guys, they were gunning for Ol Phil and they got him.

I disagree. Phil isn't stupid. He knew what he was doing.

Absolutely. If anything he trapped them, and was not passing an opportunity to spread his beliefs.

It was GQ and the interview was in the woods. GQ ain't exactly a rough and tumble publication, and definitely ain't conservative. Phil jumped all over the opportunity to get his word out on an even bigger stage...

Now they are after him for being a racist. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I don't see anywhere in there where he is putting down black people. He simply said the ones he knew worked hard and were happy. People need to man the F up and quit getting butt hurt over everything.

He said "blacks"!!! OMG

One w/ a lisp???

I think gay ducks respond to grunt calls.

I think you are exactly right.

Simply spreading the word just as our creator wants him too.

The homo's will be judged upon their passing......and that judging will not be good as the word describes

Agreed!!!

Apparently all the liberal idiots already forgot how the Chic-fil-A thing backfired on them.

Well, if they weren't known on the biggest stages of the world yesterday, they are today! Way to go, Phil!

I can't believe this topic is getting this # of post, frankly I could give a rats *** about the Duck show. And he knew better than to say what he said, it was his way of saying see ya I had enough.

The family is standing by Phil:

We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of A&E's decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phil’s unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart” and “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Phil would never incite or encourage hate. 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.

Its not about "the duck show" its about the fact that eveyone is allowed to speak their minds unless you're white and straight. If you're white and straight and you speak your mind you get labeled as a hater.

^ what he said

X 2

Slightly higher pitch with a bit of a lisp

Many folks are saying that A&E merely exercised their rights as an employer to suspend Phil.

If they really believe this, then they must also believe that any private employer has the right to suspend employees for making statements in support of homosexuality.

Do they?

Or are they hypocrites who only believes employers have the right to suspend employees for asserting positions on one side of a debate?

Free speech works both ways. If employees have the right to make statements in support of homosexuality without fear of employment actions, then employees must also have the right to make statements on the other side of the discussion.

Shot two gay ducks this a.m. And sent them on a email to GLAAD

Well you would be one of the few. This is one of those deals that I can't see how anyone can stand on a fence here. He did not say "I hate gays" or "I hate blacks". He said what he believed. He said it isn't right, and it's against what God intended. This country has fallen to a point where you can't speak what you believe without being condemned anymore. Freedom of speech means nothing. You can say what you want, as long as it doesn't offend any of the pansies in the country. And that is not meant as a remark to gays, that's meant towards ANYONE that can't handle another person's beliefs. PANSIES!!!

"If You can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen has turned into "If you can't stand the heat, turn it off."

Somewhere along the line I picked up the rule of "No talking politics, sex, or religion at work". Celebrities are always "at work" and everything they do is scrutinized. How many of us would be fired or suspended from work if we made the same statement in a company wide email?

You know that's a good point, but they're "jobs" are a lot different than ours. The workplace structure, or lack there of, is not the same as what me and you experience every day. So in other words, a celebrity can't have an belief system, or if he does, when asked about it, he isn't supposed to tell the truth? Not all celebrities are held in the same light. Look at the constant comparison between Phil and Miley. She does ridiculous stuff and is pretty much rewarded for it. People come out all the time in support of Obama or the LGBT community, and they are applauded. Come out and do something to the contrary though, and you get a slap on the wrist because you aren't "accepting".

When's the last time a reporter asked you about your opinion on politics or lifestyles? I'm not going to lie to some stupid reporter just because I'm afraid of what may happen at work. These statements were not made on a live broadcast, that reporter purposely asked that question of him. He did what he believed to be right and told the honest answer. And now he is being criticized for it.

That is what is wrong with this country now. Nobody wants honesty, they want a lie. They want to feel good inside. No one can handle the truth, that not everyone likes everyone else. It's not a perfect world. We are taught as christians to respect others, but people don't do that; but when you demanding respect, it makes it 10 times worse.

Would this even be a major topic in our society if the LGBT community kept to themselves and didn't constantly make a scene of everything or demand to be treated the same? Maybe so, I don't know, but I think too much of the world is concerned with what other people think.

For the record, I agree with you on the "No politics, sex, religion" at work. It's especially important with the government, but I don't think it's right anywhere. It's not good business to be at ends with your coworker.

Im friends with several gay people I would bet that not one of them were offended by what Phil said. They work, fish and live their lives like the rest of us. When the "being gay" topic gets brought up they all agree that its the few gay wackos that are constantly stirring the crap and making the headlines. They laugh at how pathetic those people must be to have to do things like that to get attention.

When this show first started A&E would add bleeps in the dialog to make it sound like they were using bad language. Phil called A&E and had one of the producers fly down to Monroe. In the discussion he told the producer to stop editing the show to make them look like they were trash. The producer told him he couldn’t do anything because they had contracts. Phil told him that he might have contracts but he had lawyers and God on his side and the truth would come out.
A&E stopped the editing.
This man has never pretended to be anything other than what he is. It is time for people to stop being so offended about everything when they don’t like the message being said. If you don’t like the show or the people don’t watch it. I don’t watch the kardashians, jersey shore, or many of the other (what I consider trash TV) shows. That’s my choice. It’s also the choice of the TV channel to put on or take off whatever they want as a privately owned company.
If A&E is crazy enough to let the show go I am sure many other channels will be more than happy to jump right on in.
One other side note. Could all this be for show? Do you think the 14million + that watched the show last season will at least double or triple in January? No matter what happens Phil and A&E are gonna clean up this spring with some big $$$.

All this sounds great, but reality is he knew what he said would cause this firestorm. And as far as the Duck Show the first few episode where decent, UNTIL HOLLYWOOD WRITERS CAME IN AND WROTE SCRIPTS FOR THE DUCKMEN. It has become staged crap.

Because the duckmen aren't actually that interesting after 3 episodes. If they were, a&e would just play their hunting videos to bring in the masses.

The man is a genious..........
I think they may well have indeed executed the perfect plan to hand gridande a contract

Yep....I do not even watch that garbage anymore...it is the hillbilly equal to the kardashins (sp). They act like they are poor red neck trash but they drive 60k vehicles..lmao....Phil knew exactly what he was doing...lol

He is more popular now than ever!!

The viewing for the duck dynasty marathon was cut in half than normal

AMEN!

It's odd,the libs preach free speech-but....at some point we in the "fly over states" are gonna have enough of this crap!!

he must be speaking about a few certain blocks in NOLA

I'm confused as to why the "Duck Show" is the focus here. To most people I've talked to, its not. Its about the backlash towards his comments. The liberals and LGBT community can say whatever they want, but when a conservative or Christian speaks about their beliefs, its wrong and they are persecuted.

I could careless about what happens to the show. Its the fact that yet again, if someone speaks out against the masses, they get snuffed out.

Its the principle of the thing.
