1. The right wing never fails to prove its insanity to everyone else....

[uppityperson]

2. What is the logic? Upset at someone being fired for bigoted statement, so threaten harm to the

network. HOW will that help at all? I know, illogical, but wtf.

[Lifelong Dem]

3. Go after them and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law

People shouldn't need to put up with these nuts.

4. Bringing back Robertson = extortion.

5. So A&E never considered the type of mouth breathers they were catering to.

Now they know, live and learn.

6. So what about the producers at A&Es 1st Amendment rights?

Typical hypocritical, fuckwads on the Right being typical and predictable.

7. I wonder if they were as upset when Martin Bashir was let go ... I doubt it. nt

8. A&E may as well pack it in.

They play that goddamned stupid show from 6 until midnight - over, and over, and over - don't they have any other programming to offer viewers? After 10 minutes that show has lost it's luster.

edit: grammar

9. What a lovely 'Christian' response! Sheesh....

Who would Jesus bomb?

It's 'Christians' like that who have driven me out of organized religion.

10. The unhinged fans of bigots..ugh. n/t

[politichew]

11. This generation's Charles Manson has some scary followers. nt

12. Perhaps the best solution would be to cancel the show and cut the whole family.

They can go back to making their duck callers. Apparently the social skills of their followers is lacking also. It is not about freedom of speech but someone going over the deep end, he could have stated his dislike of gays in a very different manner.

13. It is just like what happened when CBS fired Dan Rather and MSNBC fired Bashir

said no one, ever.

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. This will launch his political career.

He's a pefect fit for the bottom feeders on the right.

[B Calm]

15. Amazing how many stupid people watch this show. Don't they know the

family is just a bunch of fakes who grew beards and are putting on a show.

[SoCalDem]

16. There's no big payday for regular guys who golf

[B Calm]

17. No kidding. .

18. This ought to give them more resolve to stand up to the FAKE capitalists. Free enterprise says that

A&E can program whatever they find is beneficial to their bottom line...like all the RW show do.
