I have never watched Duck Dynasty and I never will. I hate almost all reality TV. I find it to be boring, unintelligent drivel and pandering.

Again - get over it.

You're right, but getting someone removed from a TV show because you don't like what they said is wrong....

Unless you can confirm that A&E was going to remove Phil from the TV show prior to glaad speaking out, then the only logical conclusion is that it was because glaad started crap because of what someone said...

I don't know. I don't have a crystal ball or time machine. You are dodging the question. What power does GLAAD hold over TPTB at A&E? How was A&E forced to take the actions they did?

I don't think it is right or wrong. A&E is an employer. As such, they have the right to discipline their employees any way they see fit.

So does anyone who opposes gay propaganda.

A&E Welcomes Phil Robertson Back to 'Duck Dynasty'

Victory! Good to see that sometimes, we can over power the left and the PC police.
Everyone got fooled. The whole thing was a con to sell more DD garbage to fundamentalists before Christmas, and it worked good.

It's NOT because of GLAAD! GLAAD has no power to force A&E (or any employer) to take such action!

If a customer complains about me - my job creator has several options: ignore the complaint; provide a coaching opportunity; write me up; fire me.

The JOB CREATOR makes the call - not the complainer. Sheesh.

There is no doubt in my mind....

However, just as before, if glaad would have not spoken out...what would A&E have done?

Who knows what glaad would have done if A&E would have done nothing...

Sorry, because of the actions of glaad, Phil was removed by A&E...

Just as you may be removed from your job because someone complained, if nobody complained you would still have a job, right...

No bubbles burst here.

You are completely ignoring my question. You are acting as if GLAAD forced A&E to put Robertson on suspension. I am asking how GLAAD forced A&E to do so.
