It was no more an "abysmal public relations failure" than New Coke was.
Amen! I am go pi$$ed off at the GOP establishment I can’t see straight. Last time they called for money. I said, I told you when you nominated McCain there would be no more money from me. If they nominate Cruz I might contribute.
Jazzy - The following observation should have the GOP-e quivering in their “custom baby-seal leather boots”:
For if the modern consultants (...) don’t see the benefit of attracting the audience of a show that weekly draws 12 million viewers (especially since the difference in 2012 was around 4 million votes,) then their advice is not something I’m sure would be all that insightful.
Heh! I told ‘em the same about Romney.
Yep, the GOP-e sure came up short defending family values regarding this fiasco while Ted Cruz spoke out loud and clear in defense of Robertson and family.
“A&E had to still live with and react to the consequences of their actions.”
Yeah, I don’t know how they can possibly look at themselves in the mirror without getting ill. All that DD merchandise sitting there unsold and gathering dust. And no doubt the ratings for the new season of the show that starts Jan 15 will be much worse after this controversy. Perhaps the only solution that A&E can find at this point is to suspend a member of the Robertson family right before Christmas every year.

So true, don't cave and you will be rewarded. The fight is not for the timid but it can be won.
We need rinos to stop trying to make us the villain because we are not and we will not quit and they will not succeed without us.
What I would take from this whole fiasco is this....if you want your business to get lots of free publicity and subsequently increase your sales, stand up publicly for tradition and Biblical morals. The silent majority is eager to support anyone who does this, with their wallets.
I would love to know what Duck Commander sales have been like these last couple of weeks. I am waiting for my package to arrive.
Another lesson we learned is that conservatives are not allowed to talk about body parts. Queers can talk about body parts, can teach our children in classrooms queer things to do with their body parts, and can even prance down the street with their body parts hanging out. But conservatives are not allowed to even talk about body parts.
We need rinos to stop trying to make us the villain because we are not and we will not quit and they will not succeed without us.
This guy?
...or this guy?
Agreed, and I’d guess Duck Commander sales have increased substantially.
To me, the moral of the story is new established laws
don’t change old established morals.
You’re correct...The pathetic gay parades have been taking place for years and now there’ll be a same sex marriage in the Rose Parade. In my young days I enjoyed going to several Rose Parades but I hope there’s a backlash from this.
I'd just as soon vote for communists, actually: they're at least forthright enough to admit they hate America.
Another drama that played out and is unreported is the Komen Foundation fiasco. I have done two of their 60 mile walks but as I grew closer to Christ and the Catholic Church decided that I could not in good conscience sign up in 2012 until WOW they dumped Planned Parenthood. I signed up immediately. Then, a few days later, they backtracked after Planned Parenthood hammered them. So I didn’t raise money and I didn’t do the walk that year although I did train with my dear friends who did. They have seen their contributions drop precipitously and the number of cities where they can have the walks has dropped by half. Some say it’s because of the pro aborts (my term not theirs) who abandoned them and didn’t come back but I think I’ve seen stats that say is was the pro lifers who did not realize the involvement of PP until the curfluffle.
Judy, you're going to have to wait until Uncle Si gets your reed made.
Democrats specialize in pissing off the MANY for the sake of the FEW.
>>Yes pro-family, faith-based voters in America do not have the easy road of the dominant world view of most citizens anymore. <<
But they do. They just haven’t wised up to the fact the LOUDEST voices win.
I think the Chick-Phil-Let thing in January should continue as the Moral Majority again finds its voice.
