You don't know Phil well. And he has nothing to apologize for.

UPDATE: 12:30 p.m. -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) joined Jindal and Palin in defending Robertson, writing on his Facebook page Thursday:
If you believe in free speech or religious liberty, you should be deeply dismayed over the treatment of Phil Robertson. Phil expressed his personal views and his own religious faith; for that, he was suspended from his job. In a free society, anyone is free to disagree with him--but the mainstream media should not behave as the thought police censoring the views with which they disagree.

Free speech is obviously only accepted by liberals when it's speech they can agree with.
Like Bashir saying in a preplanned statement that Palin should be whipped, have her mouth defecated in and her eyes and mouth pissed in.
Apparently to libs that's just fine and dandy.
An apology for what dumbass? Christian? Human? Exercising his 1st Amendment rights and getting fired for it? YOU are real tolerant of all views...just that which YOU agree with...right?He will issue an apology and that will be that.
remember when people were entitled to their own opinions in America? also kind of strange that the acceptable attitudes are, I don't like your opinion or perspctive on things so I am going to boycott and call for others to boycott your products or services. then in the next breath, you don't like my opinions or perspectives but i am still going to force you to supply your products or services to me. WTF is up with that?
From what I read in one of the many threads about this, sponsors are pulling out.
Might have a list of said sponsors on the FB page.
ROBERTSON FAMILY STATEMENT ON Duck commander website at 7pm
We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of A&Es decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phils unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and Love your neighbor as yourself. Phil would never incite or encourage hate.We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right. We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family.
How very noble of them. They are good people.
A&E is privately owned so has every right to censor as they see fit.
Just as Americans have every right to decline to watch but, in addition, have the right to boycott sponsors of A&E programming. Flaw in that is they'd have to watch A&E to know who's advertising.

A&E SO could have used this to their advantage. All they had to do is say they disagree, but they would fight to the death for his right to say it.
