Was Phil in any way targeted by the United States government for his statements? Was he jailed? No? Then it isn't a free speech issue.

Leftist double talk....good job....


Backlash from who? glaad.....finally you figured it out...thanks....
Guess you have a loose definition for the word removed. Going by your definition, yes Phil was removed from his job as a dumb reality TV star and then later reinstated.

Backlash from A&E viewers, why is this so hard for you to understand?

What would GLAAD have done to A&E? Yes, he is very wealthy just like the Kardashians, but I don't think they are that bright either. Heck even the cast of the Jersey Shore is rolling in money and they are total morons.

You know, I could say the same thing to you. You are really stuck on GLAAD using its freedom of speech to protest Phil's actions.

I'm not sure what glaaad could have done. Nobody gave a rip what they had to say, and proved it. A handful of glaaad fools not watching wouldn't have mattered; they don't watch in the first place.

Silly little whiners. And they wonder why we laugh at them.

A&E decided to take sides; one opposed to the majority of those who watch that show. They took their orders from GLAAD and sacrificed Phil to the gods of political correctness. In turn, they should suffer the consequences of alienating their audience and punishing one of their contracted employees for his religious views.

Rather than releasing a statement claiming that "the opinions of Phil Robertson do not necessarily reflect the views of A&E", they suspended him. They showed they do not respect beliefs that differ from their own, which is discriminatory. Claiming moral superiority is what Liberals often criticize the right wing for, but when those morals come from their side they see no problem with the hypocrisy.

Oh please! Just like the "Dukes of Duck", A&E worships their GOD... Money.
