I don't think it was his comments about homosexuality that got him canned as much as it was his comments about his deep belief in Christ.

GOOD observation.

It is Christ who is the enemy of the Enemy.

Late to the party  on this one but jumping in here anyway!

1. I agree with EVERY WORD Phil Robertson said!

2. Merry CHRISTMAS  to all!

Anyone who doesn't like either of those can put me on ignore RIGHT NOW!

Hey, Bigun!

Merry Christmas to you, too!

Sorry dude.  The whole "insisting it's condemnation" ploy is simply designed to silence all dissent against destructive behaviors (aka 'sin').

Might as well cry 'racism' while you're at it...

You may have misunderstood my comment.  I'm not for silencing dissent.  I'm enjoy dissent.

Dear Mr. Robertson, we're so offended by your comments that we're running a marathon of your show tonight. Love, @AETV

What a strong, grounded family. They are being tested, and are a testament to their faith. I hope I can be as strong when the time comes.

No! I was at my granddaughter's basketball game, and didn't bother to change channels.  I don't mind being around homosexuals, except for the tu-tu types that don't appear to have either gender.

My uncle is gay and has been in the same relationship for 40 years.  That said he doesn't go out waiving a rainbow flag and marching in parades.  I think all sex is for the bedroom - not the public - and the more they try to shove this down our throats the more it offends me when in the past I didn't give much of a damn one way or the other..  The way they went after people who contributed to Prop 8 in CA - even getting them fired by picketing their places of employment only served to make me angry...... Tony Perkins was on after this GLAAD guy and pointed out that for all their feigning their absolute outrage at DD repeating passages from the bible the same organization gave Dan Savage - one of the most vile people walking this earth - a big award recently.

My favorite cousin is a lesbian, and is the same way as your uncle. She has a doctorate, has written two books, and no one would know she is gay, except she has a girlfriend of many years. She neither hides it, nor flaunts it.

Ha! Ha!

Robertson Publicly Preached About Homosexuality in 2010, A&E Hired Him Anyway

In 2010, Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson publicly explained his position on homosexuality in a sermon he preached at the Berean Bible Church in Pennsylvania. In the segment of the sermon posted by TMZ, he stated:
Quote
First they say there is no God. Get Him out of your mind. Then they say bow down to bird, animals, and reptiles, and each other. And the first thing you see coming out of them is gross sexual immorality. They will dishonor their bodies with one another, degrade each other. Is that going on in the United States of America? Look around…Boy is there some immorality going on around here.

He continued, citing Romans 1:26:

Quote
Therefore because they do not make it worthwhile to maintain the balance with God, He gave them over to shameful lusts. Women exchanged natural relations and were inflamed with lust for one another. And the men were inflamed with lust for each other. Women with women, men with men. They committed indecent acts with one another, and they received in themselves the due penalty for their perversions. They were full of murder, envy, strife and hatred. They are insolent, arrogant, God-haters. They are heartless, they are faithless, they are senseless, they are ruthless. They invent ways to do evil.
He stated, “That’s what you have 235 roughly after your forefathers founded the country. So what are you going to do, Pennsylvania? Just run with them? You’re going to die.”

Robertson’s position on homosexuality has never changed, nor has it been a secret. It may shock some, but it is also well within the tradition of fundamentalist Christian preaching on the subject. The fact that A&E suddenly acts surprised when Robertson says things he’s been saying for years is just more evidence that Robertson’s suspension is a knee-jerk, disingenuous attempt to avoid the slings and arrows of the politically correct.

Kelly needs to go to MSNBC or CNN.  She is so pro-queer it's disgusting.

When she was on Leno last week she said she doesn't take one side or the other, she tries to walk right down the middle and let her audience decide what they thing of things her guests say.

She had 2 pro-queer people along with a guy from GLAAD, and only one person supporting DD.  She tried to trap Jindal but he wasn't going to fall for it.

I'm sorry but I just didn't see what you are describing at all.

There was a GLAAD person on early in the show.  Then when she had the 3 people at the table, only one defended Phil.  IIRC, he was from the FRC.

I am not understanding then.  I meant what I said as a direct positive toward the Robertson family.  There was no double meaning in what I said.
