The fact she was in the top 1000 is nuts.
I assume this list and votes were done prior to October.

Nevermind ... One does not have to do good things to be on the list.
Bashar Assad, President of Syria
Hassan Rouhani, President of Iran
Were on the list too.

As my memory was jostled, I believe HItler was named Person of the Year too.

That sounds more like a Democrat restricting freedoms than a Pub Moreluck.

A & E already knew the Robertsons are a gun-totin', bible thumpin', southern family. Why would they kow-tow to the LGBT community when the Duck Dynasty is clearly not aimed at the LGBT community. ?
Phil is entitled to his opinion. His opinion wasn't even given on A&E. His opinion was most of America's opinion a few years back.

I've written twice to A&E this morning to let them know the first amendment gives Phil the right to his opinion.

 

[oldngray]

Most other A&E shows do cater to the more liberal/gay community. I wasn't surprised by their actions against Robertson, only surprised that they ever aired a show about him in the first place. I think A&E's idea was to humiliate a family of backwoods gun totin' rednecks but to their surprise the show took off and many people liked the Robertsons. Possibly the show's success embarrassed A&E and they saw this as a good excuse to cancel the show.

I've written twice to A&E this morning to let them know the first amendment gives Phil the right to his opinion.

No it does not ... at least as related to this issue.
Neither the 1st Amendment nor the 14th Amendment cover anything outside the relationship and punitive actions against an individual citizen by any level of governments.

The first amendment protects citizens from the government from taking any action against them due to what the citizens says ... in particular, if they say something against the government.
Citizens can say anything they want as long as they do not fall within the following:

• Burning draft cards to protest draft — prohibited because of superior governmental interest.
• Words likely to incite imminent violence, termed “fighting words.”
• Words immediately jeopardizing national security.
• Newspaper publishing false and defamatory material — libel.

Adams passed the Sedition Acts back in 1798 and were so unpopular that Jefferson was elected and these laws expired in 1802.
Lincoln suspended the 1st amendment rights to some extent

I'd like to see the Robertson family sit down and let A&E ratings drop to where they were before this show. The only thing I ever watched on A&E was Dog re-runs from 7-9 in the mornings. I don't care what the right is called or what # it is, if you don't like gays, you can say so.

The 2014 season is already videoed.
It will be interesting to see if A&E edits out Phil in 2014 shows.

I was at Walmart today and walked past a life sized cardboard cutout of Phil. I wonder whether Walmart will drop him too. I tend to doubt it.

Definitely some signs of swimming in their own gene pools there.

Dog had his own run-ins with political correctness off camera yet he remains.
