I've never seen it - I'm sure it would just remind me of home. Tongue

It's Chick-Fil-A all over again.  The gullible masses will be buying all kinds of Duck Dynasty trinkets for years.

Yes.  It.  Is.  I can not wait to see the Fox News and Sarah Palin reactions to this latest episode of abject tyranny against the well-meaning and kind-hearted Christians who just want to be able to hate gays in peace.

Duck Dynasty is basically the beginning of A&E's channel drift,
the beginning?

What would you point to as the bellwether show? Hoarders? I think it was actually very good in the early years. Intervention?

I'm waiting for Sarah Palin to come to his defense.

Here it is.

The name A&E stands for "Arts and Entertainment." Where on the channel have the arts been in the past decade?

I actually liked that show The Cleaner a few years ago. Only ran for one season I think.

I haven't watched A&E since I was a kid and it was exclusively Columbo reruns.  But, I just looked up the wikipedia on their programming. 

These are actual shows that have been on A&E:

American Hoggers
Storage Wars
Shipping Wars
Parking Wars
Steven Seagal: Lawman
Paranormal Cops
Kirstie Alley's Big Life


What kind of country am I living in?

LOL. My entire Facebook news feed is filled with people claiming that this is Obama's fault and that it's a 1st amendment violation.

"Now, Mr. Robertson, if you could, please tell us what your views are on women who become pregnant after being raped. What do you feel they should do?"
"Also, if you don't mind, would you care to elaborate on what you think of illegal immigrants crossing the border and what we should do with them?"

Also, a video was leaked where he's ranting like a whiny baby to conservative zealots about how gays say there's no God and we're trying to suppress the truth and blah blah blah, blah, blah, (more homophobic BS), blah blah blah. If there's anybody who God hates, it's this racist lunatic. Speaking of which, I would love to get his comments when someone asks him about atheists or agnostics. Somebody get the popcorn! Cheesy

Is Mr. Robertson in jail? Did he have to pay a fine for his words? I don't think so. His first amendment rights were not infringed on. His employer fired ("suspended") him based on his actions.

So then, the only reason people are upset are because they either agree with what he said, or believe he should get away with whatever he wants. Or a combination of both. And both are unacceptable. A&E did the right thing, no matter how much you love the guy. Sorry. I can't go off and call everyone slurs, and give racist rants in public and then cry that my first amendment rights were violated when I get punished.

I'm just glad the blogs I frequent have moved on from this and are now fixated on Utah.

Too bad 30 Rock is no longer. He could have joined the cast alongside Tracy and Alec.

I just think it's dumb because A&E can't decide whether or not they want a reality show. If you want a reality show, you need to allow people to be who they are and that means allowing them to make controversial statements.

When have reality shows ever been real?

LOL, I wonder if the rest of the cast and all of their fans have enough "love in their hearts"or whatever they call it to boycott the show now:
