I bet there are a lot more rednecks than there are gays. Do the math. A&E going to lose millions when they leave this network. Oh yea add me to the list, only show I watch on that sorry network.

Your description "redneck fans"...boy, what a bigot you are...

What??? This whole show is premised on humor in redneck culture. Who do you think it is aimed at?

To be fair, I am in the same situation you are regarding experience with the show. I've seen maybe two partial episodes and found it interesting but hardly compelling.

In listening tonight to some of the things Phil Robertson said in that interview, he does seem to promote just about every stereotype about ignorant bigoted bible thumping backwoods rednecks... at least since Deliverance.

How can he be so ignorant of the overwhelming evidence that blacks were not happy under Jim Crow laws? I'd say his point defines willful ignorance.

Why the focus on gay sex? Did he forget that the bible condemns sex before marriage as well? Did he discuss the passage in the bible where women who are not virgins at the time they marry should be stoned to death?

Read a transcript of his 2010 sermon in PA for further details.

He's not coming back to mainstream commercial TV. No sponsor would risk the association.

My post #59 (in this thread):


Just because his show is on A&E doesn't mean he gives up his rights.
A&E knew that Mr. Robertson is a very religious man (I don't watch the show (or any "reality" TV)...my wife does and I do catch snippets now and then).
A&E could have disavowed his comments and let it go...but they didn't.

Roy, you have known the Doc has been on the bigoted side for quite a while....

You underestimate how many rednecks there are and how many go hunting. I think Phil will be just fine hunting his ducks. I am so glad he stood up Barbara Walters to go to duck hunting. Also what in blank did Hillary Clinton do this year, absolutely nothing.

The Robertsons will get along just fine. Phil just paraphrased from Scripture, things that Jesus himself said and taught. If people have a problem with this, they will answer to God, Phil was just a messenger. Somehow I don't think Phil is getting too worked up over this. A&E has shot themselves in the foot.
