    Nobody is saying he can't have his freedom of speech. Your constitution doesn't say anything abut everyone getting a tv show.

    The dude said blacks were happier during Jim Crow, showed he is a bigot and overall idiot.

    Oh, by the way doffus just before this incident conservatives were demanding a MSNBC anchor get fired for saying Palin should have someone treat her like a slave for comparing slavery to obamacare.

    You have the right to free speech but not to having a t.v show.

    You're wrong.

    First off he was only recounting anecdotes from people who worked side by side with him.

    Then you bring in a tangent about Palin.

    Then you resort to insults (calling me a doffus, which I'm not even sure what the hell you're trying to say, unless you mean doofus), which simply highlights your inability to argue based on fact and reason, but instead you can only resort to insults.

    think more critically next time.

    Practice what you preach. Let's use some critical thinking and deductive reasoning here. What was Phil's MOTIVE for his anecdotes?

    TV Ratings: 'Duck Dynasty' Drops to 16-Month Low Ahead of Finale

    https://tv.yahoo.com/news/tv-ratings-duck-dynasty-drops-16-month-low-050000353.html

    Duck season is winding down. With one episode to go in the series' current run, Duck Dynasty just notched its least-watched episode since November 2012.

    Wednesday's Duck Dynasty averaged 4.7 million viewers, the first time in over a year that the series has fallen below the 5-million mark. The new low comes on the heels of a fatigued season for the A&E juggernaut. It returned to 8.5 million viewers in January -- steadily dropping ever since.

    The softer fifth season, the first to air after star Phil Robertson's incendiary remarks about gay people and the Jim Crow South, is likely as much of a victim of gravity as it is of negative publicity. Duck Dynasty has been on a slow but steady decline since last summer, when it obliterated ratings records with 11.7 million viewers.

    Back-to-back seasons in quick succession and aggressive repeats may also be coming into play. "What you're seeing is similar to what NBC is doing with The Voice: 'We have it. Let's use it while we can, and get what we can out of it,'"Sam Armando, senior vp and director of strategic intelligence at media-buying firm SMGx, told The Hollywood Reporter back at the start of the season. "If the ratings come down a little, it's because they're ready to -- not because of this controversy."

    Duck Dynasty's drop in the key adults 18-49 demographic might be the most disappointing. Though the show still bested all of cable on Wednesday night, with an average 1.9 rating, it doesn't rank as the top reality show on cable so far this week. Sunday's Real Housewives of Atlanta, on Bravo, edged it out with a 2.0 in the demo.

    If history is any guide, Duck Dynasty should see an uptick with its March 26 ender, but it seems safe to say that the series' glory days are now behind it.

    Just to clarify, I think we all knew he meant doofus.
