3. If there's any consolation for all of this, these idiots (the Duck nuts) have been exposed....
...and hopefully millions of potential viewers will run from the stupid show.
That will show A&E!!! Let them suffer with the 12-14 million who watch weekly now! HA!

7. I'm sure lots of folks will disagree with me but I think he and his family are not racists
Phil has a bi-racial grandson.
Willie and his wife adopted him as a baby at one month old over a decade ago.
And Willie and his wife also have an adopted daughter from Taiwan.
Oh snap - Tx4obama is getting some hidden posts for sure! Poor bastid.

My Drill Instructor, in similar situations used to say "No, too slow. Get it BACK"
Well, he more yelled it than said it !

Aww. Poor DUmmies.
A&E decided their income was more important than their (and your) principles.
That's what being unprincipled gets you.
You DUmmies could learn a lesson from this, but no.
You wont.

15. no, I'd never heard of him either
and what is a duck dynasty? Were they the ducks from the Hotel Peabody in Memphis?
I never watched the show and couldn't name who each of the family members are, BUT every other kid who came to my door at Halloween was dressed as a member of duck dynasty. Some entire families had the costumes on.
So :bs: to this post.
ETA: and I live in the bluest of blue states misfits. :)

A&E you SUCK.
Maybe it's because we outnumber you 3 to 1? Poor dummies. Poor, poor, dummies. Haven't you figured out yet that in the grand scheme of things you are irrelevant?

17. Well they certainly got Huge Publicity here on DU..We Were Gamed?
or not? It went on for over a week...
Were we gamed or not...if A&E is going to continue the show with all the cast.
Did we think we could do what we did with Don Imus and others? We must no longer have that power....or do we? Did the MSM get wise as to how to play us Liberals as toys or not?
One of my moles bringing truth to the dummies? :whistling: :whistling:

I have heard of the show, but never watched it except for a minute or two at the end of it. It's on before some show we watch on A&E. I did see that Walmart still had some Duck Dynasty or Duck commander stuff yesterday. I didn't look to see which it was.

It can be fun to watch.
Like all "reality" shows, it's scripted.
There are times when they go off script and be themselves. That's when it's fun.
Phil and Uncle Si, tend to do that.

A&E thought they could play both sides against the middle...they lost.
Stupid fools.

I think A&E's original intent was to produce a show where viewers could point and laugh at the silly rednecks, much the same way people pointed and laughed at people on Jersey Shore.
However, it seems they created a ratings juggernaut that they cannot contain. -Now they need to take a back seat and let the show live or die on its own merits.

adopt kids from other countries and then treat them like servants. It's their good deed.
Yeah sure. The hate is strong with this one.
Its why all their cries of racist ring hollow.

Mind posting some statistical data on that, retard?

You have no idea how much I wish that were true. No clue.
And not just gone off the air, mind you.

Duck Dynasty: The Show That Got Away
by Pat Archbold Thursday, December 19, 2013 11:58 AM
After A&E fired Phil Robertson for saying what every good Christian should believe, social media has been abuzz. One of the recurring themes has been puzzlement about why A&E would cut off its nose to spite its face. Duck Dynasty is the franchise right now. Why would they risk destroying their own cash cow?
To understand the why, we have to go back to the beginning. Duck Dynasty is not the show that they wanted, it is the show that got away from them.
It seems what the producers intended and what A&E envisioned with the show is much different than the show that they ended up with, but they didn't do anything about it because it was so wildly popular and so wildly profitable. But even with all the money, they have never really been comfortable with what happened.
This is what happened. The whole idea of the show was to parade these nouveau riche Christian hillbillies around so that we could laugh at them. "Look at them," we were supposed to say. "Look how backward they are! Look what they believe! Can you believe they really live this way and believe this stuff? See how they don't fit in? HAHAHA"

Yep Skul. Got into an argument a year or two ago with someone on this site, can't remember who now, about the BuckWild show being scripted. He or she said it wasn't, I said it was. It was filmed around these parts and it hit the local paper when they went to a local bar and started fighting. Well the owner threw them all out. The filming crew told him there was no fight, it was part of the script. The owner said he didn't give a damn, nobody was gonna act like that in his place and then threw the film crew out. The film crew took exception to it, started waving the contract in his face so he called the cops and had them arrested for trespassing.
All reality shows are scripted except for maybe Beyond Scared Straight, Jail, Lockup and Cops... and I ain't too sure about Cops anymore.
Some of them are pretty fun to watch though. Beats watching what passes for entertainment on the alphabet channels most times. :cheersmate: :cheersmate:

I got curious and paddled over to see how things were going.
Now, I remember when the whole thing started and there were at least ten or more threads beating up on DD and Phil.
Other than txnumberObumble, there isn't a peep about it until you hit page three.
There were two, and they're just left overs from days ago.
Very strange.

I hope to god this is a mole... If not then the propaganda and brain washing has been successful and we are doomed. I have never ever in my life seen a child adopted into a christian family treated like a servant. Rather I have seen them given lives they would have never dreamed of. In the Church I grew up in a couple that couldn't have kids adopted twin boys from the Philippians and they have grown into the nicest young men I have ever meet. What a ridiculous ignorant statement.

You are absolutely correct, cats. What a shitty thing for that DUmmie to say. They are loathesome worms.

+1. I have had the privilege to make acquaintances with multiple foster/adoptive parents due to a friend who does both. None of them would do such a thing. Oh, I'm sure you'll say "Well, it's just the ones you know." Right. It takes a special breed of person and a special kind of love to take on someone else's child and raise them as your own.
You DUmmies, as usual, know not of what you speak.
