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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

24. So many church people

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.
