“Robertson is a character in a reality show. He’s not a spokesman for A&E any more than some soul-sucking social x-ray from the Real Housewives series is a spokeswoman for Bravo. Is he being fired for being out of character? Nah. He’s being fired for staying in character – a character A&E have nurtured and promoted and benefited from. Turning …

And he does the entire clip in really bad Robertson drag.

“A&E’s suspension of Phil Robertson shows Hollywood wants to avoid reality. The reality is that the Robertson family are Bible-believing Christians who don’t cherry pick what the Bible teaches. Phil Robertson has been targeted simply because he expressed his religious beliefs but there is a clear double standard that is being applied. Nothing was done when homosexual activist Dan Savage …

“The reason that so many Americans love Duck Dynasty is because it represents the America usually ignored or mocked by liberal elites: a family that loves and cares for each other, believes in God, and speaks openly about their faith. If you believe in free speech or religious liberty, you should be deeply dismayed over the treatment of Phil Robertson. …

“Make no mistake about the anti-Christian leftists in Hollywood, the mainstream media, and GLAAD; the goal here is to put on a bitter Show Trial until A&E caves even further and yanks ‘Duck Dynasty’ off the air. The problem for A&E and the political left, though, is that in today’s world, the boys of ‘Duck Dynasty’ hold all the cards. …

Via Josh Feldman: GLAAD spokesman Wilson Cruz denounced Robertson’s remarks and said it’s offensive for him to profess to speak on behalf of all Christians. Morgan found the homosexuality comments, as well as comments that black people were “happy” in pre-civil rights Louisiana, to be “pretty outrageous on any level.” Lemon agreed, but was less hesitant than Morgan to call …

Reality television is about as far-flung from the mission of NOM as it can get, but that hasn’t stopped them from opportunistically jumping on the outrage train. Hate group leader Brian Brown writes: Do we want to live in a country where we cannot express something we believe so sincerely and feel so strongly without fear of reprisals, bullying, and …

Mediaite recaps: After showing a statement from Robertson regarding his homophobic remarks, Kelly turned to the panel, and right off the bat Bernard Whitman condemned Robertson’s “disgusting,” “really reprehensible” remarks and said he should get the boot. Arthur Aidala and Monica Crowley vehemently disagreed, and all three got in a heated back-and-forth about the free speech issues here. Aidala cried, …

“Phil Robertson’s remarks are not consistent with the values of our faith communities or the scientific findings of leading medical organizations. We know that being gay is not a choice someone makes, and that to suggest otherwise can be incredibly harmful. We also know that Americans of faith follow the Golden Rule – treating others with the respect and dignity …

After complaints from GLAAD, the A&E network has issued an “apology” from Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson. Via press release: “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. My mission today is to go forth and tell people …

“One reason why I chose to come out publicly is that I’m a gay guy in a gun world. Hunters, sport shooting enthusiasts, and collectors are too often stereotyped as part of efforts to politicize guns as we witnessed last week on the anniversary of the horrific Newtown tragedy. Take it from someone who in a single package is not …

“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. 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. Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out …

A report filed by TMZ has again fired up speculation that reality star and Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner is beginning gender reassignment. Jenner says, “I just never liked my trachea.”

The New York Daily News reports: Sarah Palin is giving reality TV another try. The former Alaska governor will host a weekly program on the Sportsman Channel to celebrate the “red, wild and blue” lifestyle by profiling stories related to hunting, shooting and fishing. Palin’s program, “Amazing America,” will debut in April 2014, the cable channel said Monday. It has …

Clip recap: “Bob Larson and the Teenage Exorcists went to London recently, and encountered many demons of witchcraft. Beth had a curse going back 17 generations to Freemasonry. Watch as the Teenage Exorcists take over and tell the demon where to go!” Acting! The bit at 1:45 is especially funny.

As I’ve previously reported, the three daughters of crackpot exorcist Bob Larson, whose clips have appeared here for years, have gotten their own reality show. Today the BBC talks to the girls. “Every single country has a specific kind of demon,” says Tess, 18, who loves music and reading. They believe that the UK in particular is a hotbed for …

The Tennessean reports: A pair of serpent-handling Pentecostal preachers who were profiled in The Tennessean last year are getting their own reality television show. “Snake Salvation” is set to debut Sept. 10 at 8 p.m. Central time on the National Geographic Channel. The series will feature Andrew Hamblin of Tabernacle Church of God in LaFollette, Tenn., and Jamie Coots of …

“Dear Joe, As the newest show airing on the Discovery Channel, ‘N*ked And Afraid’ has cast members who are completely uncovered and dropped in the jungle with no food, no shelter and no clothes. Discovery should be ashamed to air n*dity and then call it entertainment. In fact, having the cast be n*ked is the basis for fifty percent of …
