True but Duck Commander is also wildly popular. Losing that show still hurts their bottom line. Why throw out a golden egg just becuase you can still make it?

When I became a mod I removed everyone from the ignore list. Since then two people have gone back on the list. just can't read their crap. Hurts my eyes.
Mods have all the power and in return we become robots and have no opinions or feelings on any subject. Power for our very souls.

You are gonna miss some great advice from Phil.
And some good insults to fling at One Brow:
You don't think they've seen the results of other people making similar statements over the years? They don't know their own demographics? Their advertisers weren't quick to respond?
I can see where an argument could be made for this action not being moral, perhaps. I don't think any of us are in a position to say its bad business. I'm still not sure which point, if either, you're trying to argue.
I say it was a bad move. I think ultimately they lose a wildly popular show. Possibly to a rival.
So are you the stupid version of Hantlers or is Hantlers the stupid version of you.
What this guy has said was very mild compared to a chick filet, or even hobby lobby's ban on Chaunnakah and Passover items.
Balance that against possibly loosing the biggest show they've had in some time, and they made a piss poor knee jerk move.
I agree the results of statements similar to Mr. Robertsons are to make them a pariah amoung the left and a hero amoung the right or the reverse depending on what was said.
Number of people I've seen think they're doing everyone else a service by proclaiming on the internets that "Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences": approximately a lot. Generally this statement begins with "Okay, listen people..."
Number of people I've seen make the "A&E had no right to do this because of Free Speech" argument: Sarah Palin
Am I alone in experiencing this as a clarification/chastisement to a virtually nonexistent argument? Or do I need to hang out with dumber friends?

No you are not.
I saw a few things he said, like homosexuality leading to bestiality and how black people were so happy when they were working in the fields. It's not mild.
Actually, since everyone agree A&E had the right to do, I'm just wondering why it's an issue at all. Stoked seems to think it's a bad business decision (I have no way to gauge if that is accurate), but doesn't seem to feel the decision was immoral in any way. I don't know what ElRoach0 thinks is the problem.
