Yeah, me neither.

What about countless other hateful comments from other Liberal celebrities? Janeanne Garafalo, Sarah Silverman, Bill Maher, etc. They get to say whatever hateful things they want about Conservatives and Christians and suffer no consequences for their hate speech. And Liberals are OK with that.
maybe it's because no one cares about conservatives when it comes to the entertainment industry?

Once you make it publicly known that you are anti gay you won't be on TV...
DO you really think they care? DO you really think it hurts his feelings that he is off the show You can't honestly believe that it will hurt his pocket book? He could have told you all to wipe the come dribbles of your chins and you still couldn't hurt him That's what upsets the rectal rangers the most. They can't hurt him......

Like I said before... I never questioned their business success. I'm talking about the fallout AFTER making your opinion on gays PUBLIC.

As someone who is a staunch supporter of gay marriage, getting angry at Phil Robertson for expressing his viewpoint is idiotic. The man was asked a question, he answered it, and now everyone is getting up in arms because they don't like what he said? News flash: Phil Robertson most likely doesn't care what you think of his opinion.

I find it rather ironic that a man who has firm beliefs (whether you agree with them or not) is being vilified mostly by the same people who think that the Kardashians are role models.

I guess people cann't have their own opinions anymore. We should all become as one and have the same thoughts.

Obviously if he cared he wouldn't have said it...

This has nothing to do with his finances...

They care, but only about ridiculing Conservatives. If a character in a TV show or movie is identified as a Republican or Christian, it's because that character is a bigot, simpleton, racist, sexist, homophobe, hypocrite, etc.
