Send A Fax/Contact A&E Networks For Slamming Duck Dynasty Phil Robertson
JoeClarke.Net ^ | 12/19/2013 | JoeClarke.Net

The oddest thing is that A&E Networks has been constantly censoring the Ducks for mentioning Christ or God in many of the shows. Yet, cursing and other profanities are not bleeped out to my knowledge on A&E's other shows.

Send a message to Mel Berning - President of Sales at A&E by faxing him at

2122101308

There are free fax services on the net such as GotFreeFax.Com and they will let you send a hard copy letter directly to A&E offices.

Twitter A&E at @AETV    Facebook A&E at https://www.facebook.com/AETV

My fax to A&E Below:

Dear Mr. Berning,


I am very disappointed at your knee jerk reaction to removing Phil Robertson, if only temporarily, even after not receiving any complaints for his statements against homosexuality - not homosexuals!


Are we to believe that all of A&E programming will be formatted according to your politically correct views? Then, how can we ever trust whatever is presented on A&E? You obviously have an agenda, and it will be expressed through your programming.


I am seriously thinking of mounting some sort of campaign to notify/boycott sponsors. You should be thankful that there are individuals who do not reflexively bend over for the gay lifestyle. My thinking is that all of you who must appease the gay agenda are the real homophobes - you are simply afraid of their lobby. And, so it is with this mad rush to push their activities without any debate. Have you read your Torah lately? I think not.


You do not realize how culpable and vulnerable your company is to changes in the economy and public opinion. I tried to warn the president of J.C. Penney that he went too far in taking advantage of his customers. He would not listen.

Just stop watching. They will go to a different network next year, and you can watch again. What I can’t understand is how the rest of the family can continue to stay on the show, even after their father has been kicked off. I’m assuming there is some kind of contractual reason. However, kicking Phil off the show could be used to void the contract.

Here’s the problem, Joe. I don’t watch it and don’t care about it.

If Phil had said “Smoking is a filthy, disgusting Habit” — he’d be lionized.

(You can smoke cigarettes or be actively gay, IMO. It’s a free country. I am just making an observation about the PC nature of modern day speech tolerance.)

3000 FReepers could push this Boycott A&E petition over 1/2 million:

Think a million Hates will get their attention?

And sports competitions don’t mean anything and almost all the news is at least partly fake...what’s your point? Even most people are partly fake,...guess you better become a hermit. Who gives a shit what you say anyway?

Just a note to point out that duck season starts now and goes through the end of January in Phil’s neck of the woods.

He maybe just decided the quickest way to get what he wants is shooting his mouth off.

I have a sneaking suspicion that he is way smarter than the A&E execs.

He gets to hunt uninterrupted for the next six weeks. Christmas sales are spiking (and increasing his franchise value) and if he is planning a network switch, his watchers are well primed to follow (further increasing the franchise value).

The Duck Commander didn’t get where he is from dumb luck.

You should post that on a separate thread.

This was my message to A&E:

I support Phil Robertson and his freedom of speach. Afterall, all he did was repeat what God and the Bible have to say on the subject. By suspending him you have shown that your network is anti-Bible, anti-God and anti-Christian. I wonder what your Advertisers think about your network’s open hostility towards God, the Bible and those that follow both?
