HA!!! That didn't take long.....

I doubt it.  Phil Robertson's faith and belief is not a publicity stunt...... he has been preaching those same views for over 2 decades.  I guess the majority of people think that what they see on Duck Dynasty is a relatively new deal.  It's not.  Phil Robertson and the Duck Commander label have been around a long time. 

A & E's mistake was thinking that the Robertson family would go along without Phil.....for the money?.....or whatever?   That was always laughable for anyone who has spent any amount of time around any of them.

So you think A & E set up the interview with GQ and then suspended Robertson when he said what they knew he would say after he was asked a question they knew he would be asked?  You've been hanging out with tuwood, haven't you?  

You haven't read what I wrote.......those Robertson's that you see on TV have been that way since Duck Commander began.......Duck Dynasty didn't start that family.  They sold MILLIONS of hunting videos long before DD came along.....and they were the same characters in those videos....because that's who they are.

A & E didn't create Duck Dynasty or the characters......not even close.

By the way....fundamentalist Christian views are hardly archaic......in fact, those views are currently held by tens of millions of people in the U.S.  It's a voice that will not be drown out.....thankfully.  The same way that the LGBT voice will not be drown out....thankfully.  I would gladly stand up and fight for either group to be heard and treated equally.

And I firmly believe it was done by A & E execs who think they are "enlightened" but don't have a clue......it's pretty common in that industry from my viewpoint.

And sorry, CD, literal interpretation of the Bible is as current as it is "archaic".  In fact, if we're to believe other interpretations of the bible, we could easily say that homosexuality as an accepted practice is also archaic....it has certainly been around as long as Christ..  It's really unfair to either side to label current views......they are simply "beliefs", and all should have equal merit.

It was certainly interesting how it all transpired.   If anything it really helped the world see who is really intolerant in this whole issue.

Here's a link from 2007....it was already their 11th video.....and the company was already worth many Millions.  If you think DD is a recent deal, it's only because you don't hunt.  They may be smarter than your average coonass, but those fellas have redneck running deep in their bones.
