'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended from show after equating homosexuality with bestiality.

"In an interview in the January issue of GQ, the 67-year-old reality television star and darling of the political right equated same-sex relationships with bestiality."

"It seems like, to me, a vagina as a man would be more desirable than a man's anus, that's just me," the reality star said.

"I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical."

Damn.
Who would have thought you could suspend the guy that the show was basically made because of.

He founded the company the show is based around.

He actually did say it and a lot more.
Probably the most offensive paragraph you will have read in quite some time.


It seems the right wing republicans have taken to Twitter to show their support for Phil.

Suspension is temporary. When is he allowed to come back? It won't be the same without him.

I enjoyed to first season of this show, but now I can't stand it. Really fake and planned out problems, only person worth listening to is Si.

Also Phil is expressing his opinion on a subject, shouldn't be any repercussions from his employer. Same thing with Paula Dean said the N word 35 years ago, and she lost almost everything. I would love for everyone to drop the political correctness for one day, and listen to real conversations.

I don't agree with what phil said, but its ridiculous people are losing their jobs because of what they say, because they offend a group of people.

I would not be surprised if they ended the show. They have so much money that they could just ended it.

But damn, I sure hope not.

I read somewhere that he is just suspended for the rest of the current season. And he will return when the show comes back on in mid January.
