How about a redneck show where all the rednecks act an overtly political correct way? The sarcasm would say everything.

They’re the number one show in the history of cable television, Dozens of networks will be bidding to give them another forum.

If I was their agent I be telling the family okay pick a network any network LOL!

I think reason why A&E are all tick off they are partly own by Disney Corp the Mouse hate to say been friendly gays going way back in da day

They were first company in Cali give health benfits to same sex company workers and their so called families

One company that tick off with A&E other company partly own by hearst corp they pretty conservative that same company that was founded by Citzien Kane inspiration himself

Since A&E is still showing the show, their outrage is pure BS.

The point everyone seem to be missing is, the show is the #1 cable program because of the Robertson clan, not because it happens to be on the A&E Channel. A&E was the accidental beneficiary of a guy whose beliefs and values they despise. It’s as if a Christian network aired soft-core porn movies.

The Robertsons should take their bat, ball, and TV show somewhere else where they will not be mocked and punished for expressing their first amendment rights. If they do not, anyone who professes to admire, trust, and beleive in them ought to take a second look.

Yes I know “it’s a business decision”, but it would also be the height of hypocrisy for them to stay on A&E now.

Absolutely correct.

If they were REALLY offended, the show would not be running. They’re cashing in on this - what should we call them?

Nobody is outraged. Nobody is offended. The Left just wants to shut down dissenting voices from its relentless gay agenda. It's about quashing opposition, not true offendedness.

And even if they were offended, so what?

Remember when Coca Cola decided that their customers REALLY wanted a different soft drink instead of the product that made them #1?

A&E has just had their “New Coke moment” and alienated their loyal customer base who made their product #1.

To Coca Cola’s benefit, in less than 3 months, Coke Classic was back in production.

This will go down in lists of history’s most stupid business decisions. Stubborn ideology vs pragmatic business. What’s it gonna be A&E?

I don’t know, from 8.5 million viewers last week to 2.6 this week.

I’d call them stupid.

But his real sin was calling homosexuality a sin comparable with bestiality.


He never compared the two. What a shame Goldberg follows gay activists talking points

Every state and region has it’s own “brand” of redneck.

Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindahl and Ted Cruz come out early with supportive, non-judgmental statements about Phil’s comments. Not so with the so-called conservative media.

In this case Goldberg lays out the redneck premise probably to try to insulate himself from Phil’s conventional religious views. Virtually all of the talking heads on Fox News seem compelled to castigate Phil’s “vile” comments before they support his right to blah blah blah

Interesting comment by BOR tonight after an interview with Howard Kurtz and Bernie Goldberg...enjoy your email, you’re going to get plenty of it
