Here is one of the best comments I read on fb about this thing with A&E and Phil Robertson.
Becky Franklin I am a lesbian, I have never watched your show. However, I am not offended by your comments. I grew up in the church, and know very well about the teachings of the church. Hate is not one of them, and nowhere did I read anything about Phil hating anyone. I congratulate you, for standing up for what you believe in. And standing by it. I love everyone regardless of what they believe in as I should, by the teachings of GOD. Bottom line if your kind to me, I will be kind to you. I wish you all only happiness.

Great interview! Good background info on Phil Robertson having so much talent as a QB but walking away (instead of going forward) to a career in the NFL.
I have never watched Duck Dynasty but I have watched several other A&E programs.
NOT ANY MORE!
Now that I've read about how shamefully A&E have treated Phil Robertson regarding his opinions about homosexual marriages, I am boycotting A & E. I will not watch any A & E program EVER AGAIN unless A & E executives make an apology to Phil Robertson for the way they have behaved towards him, how they caved when a special interest group brought UNSEEMLY pressure to have Phil Robertson removed/suspended. Robertson did not say anything that promoted violence. Robertson did not state his personal opinions on the Duck Dynasty show.
This is America. Everyone is entitled to freedom of speech. For a special interest group to want this basic human right shut down because it does not suit their self serving agenda is reprehensible.
A&E at the very least should have done nothing. At best they should have supported their star for expressing an unrehearsed personal opinion. America is comprised of INDIVIDUALS with their own individual ways of looking at things, at life - we are not straight jacket cookie cutter people ( like communist China). Cable television itself has been successful because it offers diverse/different/intellectually challenging plot lines and ideas ( as opposed to boring mainstream pap of network programs). Instead A & E caved at the first whiff of pressure. Shame, shame!

Was this clip before or after robertson was axed from a&e?

One non mentioned fact that I found interesting is that in the GQ article itself; in the 1st paragraph the author uses God's name in vein & also says "holy shit." This culture is so degraded that isn't even noticed by anyone, despite also being forbidden by the Ten Commandments

It was two months back - even when Bradshaw was kicking the Cowboys' asses, I liked the guy...he's real, just like Robertson's real.

Great post, scrapper. I think I have probably seen a couple of episodes of Duck Dynasty so I can't comment too much on it (I thought it was pretty entertaining but there are usually other things on that I want to watch more). Still, Phil Robertson should not have been axed over his statement(s) because A&E knew even before the show what they were getting--Christians who were not ashamed of what they believed and ready to share what they believed. And the comments he made that they suspended him for were not made on their show or on their time. And there is also the point that (some) of the folks engaged in that "alternate lifestyle" are quick to get in people's faces about it and none of them are ever censored or told to tone it down any. Double standards as far as the eye can see.

The interview was uploaded to You Tube on October 4th, 2013 not that the date is particularly relevant. I would imagine that Terry Bradshaw would likely make the same comments to Leno today as he did in October because the interview was about him and Phil Robertson getting honored by Louisiana Tech for their contributions to the college's football team. Bradshaw was the BU QB and Robertson was the first string QB when they played together. All Bradshaw talked about was that subject and that period of time.
You should watch the video clip - it's quite entertaining.

Yeah I did watch it. I had expected it to be about the homo controversy & wondered what bradshaw would say about that. I have seen a few episodes of duck dynasty & thought it was a funny show.

More recently, when TMZ asked Bradshaw about Phil Robertson's GQ remarks specifically, Bradshaw had this to say - Bradshaw, like Robertson, is ENTITLED to his opinion - this is America, not communist China.
Bradshaw, a fellow devout Christian, tells us ... "I respect Phil's voice but I don't agree with it."
Terry explained, "Phil is a very religious man, and he's taking the scriptures literally ... but the bible also preaches love."

February 2010 shows Robertson addressing a supper at Berean Bible Church in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and condemning homosexuals in the 45-minute talk that touched on the U.S. Constitution and secularization of American society.
"They (homosexuals) committed indecent acts with one another," said Robertson, clad in his usual camouflage, in the video posted on the church's YouTube page, which has drawn fresh attention in the wake of Robertson's suspension from one of the most-watched shows on cable television.
"And they received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion," he added. "They're full of murder, envy, strife, hatred. They are insolent, arrogant God haters. They are heartless. They are faithless. They are senseless. They are ruthless. They invent ways of doing evil."

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1 John 4:20
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 3:15
Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. Prov 16:5
John reserved his harshest words for the religious leaders of his day, who he called a "brood of vipers." Their hypocrisy and adherence to man-made religion made them enemies of his message of freedom.

Terry explained, "Phil is a very religious man, and he's taking the scriptures literally ... but the bible also preaches love."

And Phil never said otherwise.
A&E released a statement on Robertson's behalf Wednesday, and while he didn't back down from his stance, he said his comments were meant* to disrespect anyone. "I myself am a product of the 60s; I centered my life around sex, drugs and rock and roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior," the statement reads. "My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together. However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other."
*I think they left out the word "not." That his comments were NOT meant to disrespect anyone.

I am not worthy to judge anyone.
The Bible tells me so and warns seriously against it.

What you is quite true. Terry Bradshaw seems to have believed the B.S. spin by mainstream media - i.e. that Robertson's remarks were "hateful."
Robertson's initial remarks and his followup commentary were neither hateful nor loving.
They were one man's OPINIONS, a free expression of his personal beliefs, which are a guaranteed constitutional right in America.
I also support Bradshaw's right to express his opinion, though I disagree with Bradshaw and suspect Bradshaw's comments are a result of misinformation.

Robertson is entitled to his opinions. And besides which he was speaking to a private group at dinner.
Maybe heterosexuals should put video recorders under the tables of lesbian and homosexual private group dinners to hear what they say about "breeders" and post those remarks on You Tube.
Hey, invasion of privacy should cut both ways.

Yes, until and unless Terry actually knew what Phil said and the context he shouldn't have had much to say about it (if anything at all).

Hey Jim. We're both old enough to know that Bradshaw, in his prime, wasn't the sharpest knife in the kitchen. I suspect age hasn't helped his sitch. With this said, I'll now watch the 'tube :)

Hey -
I truly enjoyed finding clips for the thread.
One that I didn't post was the 1966 Alabama/LA Tech game; Stabler vs. Robertson. You know how it went at the end, but Robertson was good.
A&E best (quickly) right things with the DD folks.

This was a shocker for me. I never would have connected Robertson and D-1 football (is LA Tech D-1?)
