That's the entire point....glaad was mad, and made sure something happened to phil because he said something.
I wasn't in that boardroom when A&E made the decision so I can only speculate. I am sure A&E was more concerned with their brand than they were with GLAAD.

Their brand has taken quite a beating since they made their intolerant and hate-driven decision to fire Phil Robertson.

Then that is A&E's problem as a private company. Still not sure why you are angry at some random group, I am guessing you are upset that this could mean the end to your favorite show, but I can only speculate.

The AFA does not engage in "hate group actions".

You have constructed a circular argument simply because the SPLC(a hate group) has labeled the AFA a "hate group".

GLAAD hates anyone who doesn't believe in their narrow minded view of the world.

GLAAD is a hate group.

Well that is good to know, when I need to know who is a hate group, I will remember to check the Harrier list of Hate Groups.

Harrier rarely watches television(he doesn't own a TV) and he has never seen even a single episode of Duck Dynasty.

Harrier had never even heard of the show until this GLAAD manufactured controversy became national news.

Then why is Harrier so concerned about something he admits he doesn't watch or care about? Would Harrier have known if they canceled this show if it wasn't mentioned on a right wing site?

It has nothing to do with the show.

Harrier is concerned because GLAAD is trying to suppress dissent as expressed by an American citizen.

Harrier didn't hear about this on a "right wing" site - he was able to read about it in the Los Angeles Times.

So Harrier is showing faux outrage over an issue he doesn't really care about. Maybe if Harrier watched the show and wrote letters to A&E, they would reverse their decision for Harrier.
