I also contacted A&E and informed them that in addition to not watching their programs, I am contacting sponsors and informing them that I will take my business elsewhere due to the policies of A&E.

Duck Dynasty and A&E,,,,, as radio talk host Phil Valentine says "it might make someone feel........'uncomfortable' !! A&E can stick-it . I don't watch DD as I think it is ...stupid. But his opinion is his. Nothing wrong with that.
Obummer's opinion is not shared any longer, so let's 'fire' his ass too!

homosexuality is not natural.God said you should love your neighbor as yourself !sex is not love,sex is a natural urge to reproduce ! in nature the pleasure from sex is the attraction to bring two people together to reproduce!it is also the thing to be shared by a couple after reproducing and raising of offspring! Love is the concept of careing so much for another person that you would do anything for that person regardless of getting any kind of retalatory reward!!!As phil said we should love all people but we don't have to like the way they act!!

Anyone is allowed to say and believe what they want--as long as they are willing to bear the consequences. We do not all live in the right-wing racist and homophobic echo chamber.

For all of you trying to blame liberals in general, consider what happened to Alec Baldwin for the same behavior. I see none of you outraged over the Baldwin business. But it happens to one of your own--you are off the man the barricades.

We live in a pluralistic society. A&E made a business decision. So go ahead and boycott A&E. I am quite sure that the MBAs crunching the numbers took into account that the homophobic element would leave. However, that, in their calculation would be far less damaging to the revenue of the network than not removing this character.

The country is changing, whether you like it or not. The homophobes are a shrinking minority. The MBAs understand this. This was a cold and appropriate business calculation. I will still watch Mad Men.

You have just used your First Amendment Rights just as Robertson had done. What was the difference?

Yep, liberals are all for free speech as long as it agrees with theirs. It was his opinion, it's ok for you to speak your opinion as long as it PC. What happened to free speech? He's being attacked because he comes from a Christian point of view, which in this country is becoming taboo.

I wonder if there is another shoe waiting to drop here?
How will the rest of the Duck Dynasty family react?

Will they just meekly bend over and take this corporate censorship against their patriarch or show that they are united and tell A&E where to shove it (so to speak)?

What fun it would be to watch other networks clamor to pick up this money-making show if the DD family decides to walk. Part of me wonders if all of this is just a ploy to draw even more attention to the show. Seems to be working.

So A&E will protect their viewers from Phil Robertson and his opinions but if they want to show crap like 3 1/2 men. Then it's up to you as a parent to monitor what comes into your home, if you don't like it change the channel. What is the difference?

And according to the Bible we should stone adulters to death and enable slavery.
How come none of the holy rollers here never quote that part of the Bible?

Take it up with God... he makes the rules. God said to leave Judgment up to him that he with deal with those that breaks his laws. That would include Adultery and homosexuals. As for slavery is still going on today in other countries (by blacks).

We are told to love our neighbor, that would include homosexuals but it also speaks out against homosexual life style. That is to say, love the person but hate the sin.

I support Phil and have remove A&E from my channel line up!

If you think her butt's nice, flip her over you'll really like what's on the other side.
