And those evil PC libs will laugh all the way to the bank.

Don't think that the A&E marketing department didn't learn from Chik-fil-A. They're going to use the bigotry of their viewers to make a fortune before the flash in the pan brand dies out on it's on.


Thanks, but I'll just go directly to the Duck Commander website.

I was born and raised in deep South Louisiana until I was 17, I moved to the Houston area 24+ years ago to attend college and I live North of Houston still today with my family. I have a MS in EE and a BS in bio-medical eng. You can be "doubtful" of whatever you like, I'm sure you've been wrong enough times that you'll survive.

The things you said were bigoted and quite ignorant, don't get mad at me for pointing out the facts.

I am not mad but perplexed because you seem to think you are better than I am which you are not. You are rude and judgmental. You can have all the degrees you want but that does not make you superior over anyone

Who said anything about being better than you? I don't make bigoted ignorant comments like you do, aside from that I'm not "better" than you in any way. I'm just an average guy who speaks the truth, something you clearly dislike.

I made no ignorant comments. I just know the south, sorry.

Sweetie, what you posted below is the epitome of an ignorant comment. You apparently don't know the South as well as you claim, maybe it's just you and not the other people from the South who need an education.

I don't care if the guy is suspended or not...i don't watch the show. But clearly, they have the right to suspend him.
They can easily find themselves another southern redneck family to put in a show. They are a dime a dozen in most of the continental US.

It will be interesting to see what they do when re-runs are going to be shown now and they have already taped the new season.

The Robertson family had a successful show before A&E ever came into the picture, they'll find another network to work with a lot faster than A&E could ever replace them.

They've been airing episodes for the last 2 or 3 days that still have Phil in them everywhere, it doesn't seem to bother them at all.
