The petition calling for the rehiring of Duck Commander, Phil Robertson topped a quarter-million signatures.
The #IStandwithPhil petition surpassed its goal of 250,000 signatures which means A&E will have to immediately consider reinstating Robertson.
The petition accuses A&E of “intolerant, discriminatory, and punitive treatment” of Robertson and says his views are “simply reflective of a Biblical view of sexuality, marriage, and family.” It also calls for A&E to formally apologize to Robertson, his family and viewers of the program.
Many conservatives have rallied around the “Duck Dynasty” star, including Sarah Palin and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.

Finally, a man with values. Phil you are the man!
I support Phil. He is right and his wisdom is absolutely relevant.
Alex, your an idiot.
Spoken like a real Christian. You sure learned Jesus' lessons well. I'm sure that's how He spoke to people he disagreed with. Congrats, you're an awesome example of why Christians are on the wrong path leading away from God.
You make no sense. Demented ness is an error of understanding. Where did you learn basic values?
I 100% support A&E's decision to shut this old man up. He isn't anybody relevant or important, but his words are rooted in hatred and judgment.
Sorry rednecks:
Leviticus 11:8 ("You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard.") - sorry if you shave or cut your hair...you infidel devil! It's in the bible.
Leviticus 19:2 ( "You shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.") - pertaining to pork, so, umm...let's hope you don't eat any, or touch anything that is made from their skin ... oh and yes, dear rednecks, bacon is a pork product. Mmmm see you in hell. It's in the bible.
Leviticus 19:31 ("Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.") - umm isn't a priets telling you what you future will be if you do this and do that? Odd...yet another contradiction, but hey, it's in the bible so it's not to be interpreted (you know, how you don't permit the meaning of "sodomy" to be interpreted). It's in the bible.
Genesis 38:9-10 ("Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother's wife, he wasted his seed on the ground
in order not to give offspring to his brother. But what he did was
displeasing in the sight of the Lord; so He took his life also.") - oh here's a good one rednecks. You ever pulled out of your dear girlfriend or the chick you were cheating on your wife with? Sure you have....you did God a gross injustice so, well, see you in hell. It's in the bible.
Leviticus 19:28 (""You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord."). OMG, rednecks, you know your tattoos are in gross violation of the word of God - hell hell hell is what's coming to you. Sorry, it's in the bible.
Leviticus 19:19 ("You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed
together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two
kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together."). You might as well burn yourselves rednecks, you devil's children, you mix fabrics, sure you do. It will burn in hell, as will you. It's in the bible.
Mark 10:8 (""What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."). Divorced? You go to hell. It's in the bible.
Deuteronomy 23:1 ("A man whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off may never join the assembly of the Lord.") - yes, the welcoming church who loves all and welcomes all - ehm, sorry, unless you're gay, or have testicular deformities. Hell for you. It's in the bible.
Timothy 2:9 ("Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments.") Sorry gold wearing bitches, you go against God, so here's your one way ticket to hell. It's in the bible.
Leviticus 11:10 ("But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that
does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water,
and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are
detestable things to you.") - Rednecks are safe, you don't eat shellfish because it's not a hot dog, but still ... oh wait ... you know when you took your 11 year old girlfriend out for your 4th anniversary, you know, to Red Lobsters? Would you like hell with that? Yes. It's in the bible.
Oh there are more, much, much more that puts all rednecks in hell, but these are funny so let's have a laugh. Cheers.
If you support A&E 's view then you do support the un natural view of preferring a mans arms as to the natural view of a woman's vagina. This is the entire premise of Phil's view. So this is what you prefer?
You r wrong.
So are you.
Nope.
You take so many of these verses out of context...
Wow....so hating a group of people based on inaccurate English translations of words, and neglecting the "bigger picture" of what the bible tries to teach you is somehow all perfectly in context?
The subject has never been about hate. It is about values.
You, sir...are a lost soul.
We all are, you and your loved ones included. But I hate less then you, and I don't support hateful bigots, so who do you suppose will have less to explain when meeting the Creator? You or me?
