Suggestion: Campaign to A&E over "Duck Dynasty" hiatus. .
Vanity | Dec 19, 2013 | Self

Posted on 12/19/2013 4:40:03 AM PST by Salgak

OK, gang. We're seeing the railroading of Phil Robertson for the high crime of professing his faith in response to a direct question.

1. We need to overwhelm A&E with support for Phil. Here's the email I sent to feedback@aenetworks.com. . .

To whom it may concern:

Apparently, A&E Networks find it objectionable that Phil Robertson, when asked a direct question, gave a direct answer and referenced the teachings of his faith.

For his honesty, which, frankly, is one of the charms of "Duck Dynasty", you've decided to put Phil on hiatus.

Well, I've put A&E on hiatus. AND, I've also put buying products and services advertised on A&E on hiatus, and will be informing each and every one of your advertisers of the fact. I'm sure that Wal-Mart, amongst others, will be in touch about that. . .

You might remember the Chik-fil-A brouhaha, and how that worked out. . . .

2. We need to execute the "Rakolta Technique": that is, we need a list of advertisers and products advertised on A&E, and then contact each and every sponsor promising NOT to buy their products UNTIL Phil Robertson returned to "Duck Dynasty". . .

Feedback ? Suggestions

Agreed. This isnt just about phil. This is about the majority in this country who believe in the bible getting sick and tired of homosexuals trying to normalize their sin. Its one thing not to persecute them for it, its another to make it normal. Christians need to push back once and for all!

Whether I agree with Phil Robertson or not is not the issue.

I view this as the in the end, the viewing public should decide Duck Dynasty’s fate.

I think future ratings should decide if someone stays or not. Networks always jump the gun on these things.

Sponsors have a right to decide if they want to be associated, but at the same time, in the end, it’s the ratings that drive sponsorship.

And of course, viewership drives ratings.

Of course what bothers is me more are the people who now want Phil Robertson off the air had no issues with Martin Bashir’s Palin rant.

Now getting to the topic of this thread.... Y ES! People on this forum have the right to let Duck Dynasty’s sponsors know how they feel!!!

GO FREEPERS! God Bless.

I finely tuned and well made call woould like absolutely great on your brother-in-law’s mantle or hung on the wall of his man-cave.

From what I've seen on the show, Phil is a deeply Religious man. This issue has him walking in Jesus’ footsteps and I would imagine he's honored to do so.

Whenever you need to make a point about anything, the best thing to do is hit them where it hurts, in the pocket book....I for one feel our freedoms are being damaged by the libtards of this world and of America....GO Phil . I am supporting his remarks all the way!!!

You know, what’s funny is how Barbara Walters and Alec Baldwin also have a problem with homosexuality as well.

Isn’t employer discrimination based upon religion or creed illegal?

I understand that the entire 2014 season has already been filmed (Phil included).

Its not that Phil is opposed to homosexuality... its that he quoted the bible while being opposed. God’s word cuts the heart like a knife.

A&E doesn’t care. The people there fear man more than they fear God. This is part of the sinful nature. I encourage pressure, but don’t EXPECT success. Do it for other reasons.

I agree. I do it to honor God.
