Seems like the anticipated response from the Duck Dynasty family came this evening in the form of - we can't continue without our patriarch (Phil) and are in discussion with A & E about the future of Duck Dynasty. (loose translation)

English translations:

Our way or the highway.

Take a long walk off a short pier.

quack quack quack quack off

Hit the road, Jack....

So long, farewell, duh huh what, goodbye....

And the horse (or insert favorite pack animal here) you rode in on....

Which part was hard for you?

This argument in the media is the most entertaining thing I have seen in a long time. Regardless of the outcome.

I listened to three different radio talk shows this evening at work. (That's where I first heard about the brew-ha-ha.) But not until I got home and read the actual GQ article, did I really get a clue about what the whole fuss was about. Personally he didn't say anything that surprised me having seen DD more than a few times. It just wasn't the G-rated words used on tv.

Without commenting on whether I support his comments or not--A&E needs the Duck Dynasty guys more than the other way around.

Gotta love an old country boy who just ain't politically correct...

He's about "an old country boy" as Todd in Gold Rush is intelligent.

sheesh, it's teevee, it's not reality.

Believing that he and his family are some kind of backwoods Cajun hillbillies that got lucky making duck calls is what is wrong with this country.

So that's what is wrong with this country.....!!
Hell, I thought it had something to do with apathy, crooked politicians, big government, and so on.

Thinking that the Robertsons were backwoods Cajun hillbillies that got lucky making duck calls being what was screwing up the U. S. of A. never entered my mind.

What`s wrong with this country is that anyone cared what he said !

It's not so much what he said as his right to say it in a public venue. Liberal GQ had no issues with printing it ....

It was once said, a family that prays together, stays together. Remember children of all ages, it's just television. I make motion pictures in my spare time and guarantee you 90% of it is made up.

As one person put it yesterday: "If you don't want to know what a 67 year old man from backwoods Louisiana thinks ... maybe you shouldn't ask him."

True Dat!!!

I never cease to not learn something here on TN. I was under the impression that we had some other major problems going on. And come to find out A & E and some "backwoods Cajun hillbillies" are the root cause...? I never had a clue!!!! I'm not letting any of my Grandchildren watch any more Christmas specials on A & E anymore. Thanks for the info.

I keep waiting for Sarah Pailin to apply her thoughts on Phil to her thoughts on Bashir...

Here's a link to the article. Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson Gives Drew Magary a Tour

Two of the better comments I heard on the talk shows I listened to yesterday:
* You don't have a first amendment right to be on a (reality) tv show.
* The first amendment is not for speech you agree with.

But the winning comment had to do with A&E. The host commented that with DD A&E was hoping for the Louisiana version of Honey BooBoo. I laughed so hard because when I first saw commercials for the show that's exactly what I thought.

If he (Phil) said he like Obamacare to the max and thought it was the best thing ever, you clowns would be all over it telling us how he's a liberal commie film star in a c rated made or teevee show that has no bearing on reality and his words don't matter.

Just thought I'd throw that out there boys.

No because he wouldn't be who he is, he would be socialist liberal and he wouldn't have the following he has from conservatives....

I do not often agree with Sarah, but bashir said something offense about her personally. phil didn't single any person out, just conduct
I agree Jeff. Bashir went after her personally, and in a nasty way, Comparing the two instances shows a special kind of weird.

BIG DIFFERENCE between Cajun and Hillbilly. They're more "hillbilly" than Cajun ... live about 60 miles away from them guys and have seen them before they were "tv stars".

They make freakin duck calls. They are as country as they seem on television, but no, not stupid.

I know cajun as I am a half bleed coonass from west of New Orleans. Family owned Grand Isle at one time. Cajun they are not, but they ain't put ons (like some folks here) either.
