My email to A&E:
I was extremely disappointed to read of your suspension of Phil Robertson’s participation in Duck Dynasty based on his comments regarding homosexuality. It is a shame that tolerance is only afforded to those with what you deem appropriate views. If you choose to cater to 2% of the population, that is your decision. However, I fail to see that as a wise business decision. If you would take the time to read the comments on Mr. Robertson’s comments, as I did, on sites like Yahoo.com, you would see that the vast majority of those posting comments agree with Mr. Robertson’s opinion. Additionally, many of those that do not were wise enough to recognize Mr. Robertson’s right to his opinion and saw nothing offensive with what he said.
You owe Mr. Robertson, the entire Robertson family, and like-minded Christians an apology. Unless your discipline of Mr. Robertson is immediately lifted, I have watched A&E programming for the last time. Additionally, I will contact advertisers on your network and inform them that I will not do business with companies that support anti-Christian and intolerant networks such as yours.
Sincerely,
Watching the show right now, and will list the commercials they have on.
