a&e knew about this for three months. and they don t do anything to get ahead of it beforehand. it makes me wonder if a&e dropped the ball on purpose exactly. in order to get people to watch the marathon that s coming up at the end of the month. it s perfect. the young pr people sitting there monitoring the interview probably on their blackberries or i-phones the whole time texting with their friends while their client phil robertson is doing the interview probably didn t even notice it. now they ve created a huge firestorm. americans are at each other s throats. we should be realizing all the blessings we have in america and let this thing go. all right, i go to my last, literally. last, yeah, right. the thing i found most interesting was what the family said. we cannot imagine moving forward without our patriarch. now, if i m a&e, i would be scared to death of that language. they say we re in negotiations with a&e. if they re going to stick to what they say and they re
biblical. bestiality was not biblical. the comparison between female parts and male parts was not biblical. for people who have contacted me and others here saying we have lost track of our bible and what the bible says. a lot of what he said was in the bible, a lot was not. don t hang it all on the bible. let s also not let s not put too much on phil. i mean, the guy s he s not a priest. he s not a pastor. he s a duck dynasty guy. reality show. yeah, it s a reality show. on a regular basis. here s the look, okay, so he maybe took things a little too far. his general i guess idea was he adheres to he believes in the bible. he follows christian beliefs. that is something you got to stick to the word. the question, if it was a gay man or woman who was condemning being straight, would a&e pull the plug on that show too?
do. that s millions of dollars of advertising. i don t think they ll be donating it to aids charities, are they? the marathon is going to rate through the roof. and they ll say, what do we do? also, saying what do we do in a good way? everybody s kinding out what s going to go on. the episodes going forward. there s some episodes with phil robertson that are in the can. they re going to continue to air. going forward, got destroyed on facebook last night was i said, yes, phil has a right to say what he says. and a&e has a right to pull phil off the air. and you have a right to say i m changing the channel. you don t have a right to tell me i m not christian. everyone i believe is in the right. and a&e will want this back before phil ever misses an episode.
is this a complete mishap for how a&e handles this? i went an internet signal yesterday for hours. she literally is out of a pocket. and in a pocket. that s what i thought. i finally get a signal. e-mail, looking at twitter and i think, wow, america has lost its collective mind. here s a question i have about the a&e thing. when you do an interview like this, you have to make a couple of choices. when you are dealing with a conservative and a religious person, it is different than dealing with somebody like leonardo dicaprio who s going to be a who is a superstar already. you have to think twice before you go and do something with an interview with a magazine that you don t need to do an interview with them. a&e had to have done this interview a while ago. phil robertson had to do the interview a while ago.
his beliefs. what you re saying is don t say what you really, really think. let him tv will edit out anything you say about gay people. we ll make sure you re completely sterilized. he finally says what he says. a&e know what he believes. a&e knows. for months. if you were phil, you think you d do this interview over again, if you had to do it over again? yeah, i guess. don t think he gives a damn. remember, he s the one who walks away from an interview with barbara walters, for most fascinating people so he can go duck hunting. i m not trying to suggest that he shouldn t say what he thinks. i just think they should be smarter about the interviews they decide to do. i would say there s from here going forward, there s a real opportunity. there s an opportunity for the duck dynasty crew to handle it the right way, where they don t by the way, if they go too hard apoll juiogizeapologiz going to tick off their whole audience. they have to be careful how they
