A&E decides

I guess we can put to rest the morals and $$ bull crap over the family.



It's not about the money. They have money. It's principal. Something this country lacks.

OK, here's my question about the "free speech" brouhaha.

What if, in addition to saying he thought homosexuality was wrong, Phil Robertson went Westboro and said that as a result of it God was punishing American troops?

How many people who are now championing free speech and applauding him for saying what he believes would still be doing so? Would Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal be tweeting his praise?

I'll hang up and listen.

He has the right to say what he dang well pleases, A&E has the right to fire his azz for any reason they want. People have the right to or not to watch A&E.

That goes for anything he could have said. The point of the matter is the intolerance of the people claiming to want everyone to be tolerant of them!

Funny is that both fanbases are wrong. Both claim persecution. Neither are being persecuted.

They can afford to take a principled stance.

As do I, but I still can't blame either for their respective actions. What'd each honestly think would happen?

I find a and e ridiculously stupid for banning this guy for some rather harmless comments.

I find the ducks rather pitiful for claiming to have such strong convictions on family and these beliefs, yet stuck on pause here.

People are just sick of having to bow down to a few messed up people that scream for equality & tolerance but show none. It's the liberal f#%^*+d up world we now live in. It's also sad of A&E to not take a real stand when given the opportunity. They promote this show & family literally everywhere knowing what they believe & then cower at the first sign of conflict.

Would just be awesome to have a discussion with people who could follow the rules of the website. No offense to those who do.

Guess that's why I don't bother with Politics forum very often.

There's money involved. They took a hard enough stand as it is, considering the consequences. What would you prefer they do? Say nothing and get the backlash of the LGBT community or stand with Mr Robertson and get it even worse?

I think they made a decision that's in line with social progression in the country.

But really, Arts & Entertainment channel... still blows my mind that a show about some self-proclaimed rednecks is/was on A&E.
