Phil Robertson came under fire after making anti-gay comments, causing the former Alaska Governor to tweet those "taking on" the reality star are taking "on us all."
Sarah Palin has come to the defense of embattled Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson. After A&E placed Robertson on indefinite hiatus for making anti-gay remarks, Palin tweeted her support of the reality star.
"Free speech is endangered species; those 'intolerants' hatin' & taking on Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing personal opinion take on us all," she tweeted.
On her Facebook page, Palin posted a picture of herself with members of the Duck Dynasty family....

Email A & E at feedbackaetv@aenetworks.com . Tell em youll be happy to dump both the network and its sponsors for its craven cowardice in kowtowing to the hectoring Free speech for me, but not for thee whimperers.
100% supportive of Palin here.
Way to step up, and take a stand.
Ditto!
Unless their contract with A&E says otherwise.

Yes. Free speech needs to go both ways.
If a gay male star of another TV show were to say in an interview, say with Out or Advocate, “I don’t get the whole vagina thing! What is up with those? Give me a good penis and balls every day, ha ha ha ha!”
Would he be fired by his network, or would people cover their mouths in mock shock and laugh delightedly? You KNOW you know the answer.
If it’s OK to do whatever rant you want against the Tea Party and/or conservatives without consequences, the same should be true for opinions against gays.
Exactly. And this should be said on all media today. Of course a&e has a legal right to fire whom they want. But it needs to be broadcast that this is against the concept of free speech.
What a&e is saying is that hate speech against some groups is ok because a&e is not in favor of nasty tea party folk, but gays are protected.

Let me guess...you're a member of the Pepsi generation. I figured out that around the late 80s the effect of new math and indoctrination that began in the schools in the 60s started to come to fruition. Now the crooks that would make Al Capone blush and run-of-the-mill commies are in charge of this country because critical thinking is mostly non-existant in younger Americans (30's and below) these days.
Anyone remember Howard the Duck, one of the stupidest movies ever made?
*********************
I saw it late one night on cable and I thought it was hilarious! I’d watch it again, as it was several years ago.
I agree with you and everyone else here about the stupid A&E decision.
Indeed there IS “Freedom of Speech” but only for liberals, anyone else need not attempt. End of story. (sarc)
I love Palin
The mere fact that there were other bakers in the same city willing to provide the cake should have been
“case dismissed”.
Remember, the homos are only the weapon that the left is using. They are not the real enemy any more than a spear is. It’s the wielder that is the enemy.
The left uses race to destroy Western Civilization,
and homos to criminalize Christian beliefs.
While I don't know that much about Duck Dynasty, it has become apparent that no one is safe from the Lavender Mafia.
What if I said that the Mongol invasions were the worst things ever done by human beings?
An undeniable ugly truth?
The answer is: Nothing, because the Mongolians don't have lobbyists who go after Sponsors with threats of pulling the almighty dollar.
One Final thought, what was that B.S. about "We gays just want to be left alone" I heard growing up in the 90's?
Sarah Palin has it right again.....Sarah Palin is my president.
Phil’s comments weren’t said on A&E.
It would be nice if the LGBT activists were really concerned about “hate” and “intolerance” but they are not.
They are incrementally moving us towards a society where people who think like Mr. Robertson does will be second class citizens with the status of black people in the “Jim Crow” South or dare I say it, Jews in 1930’s Germany.
There laws were passed taking away Jews property, businesses, denying them employment etc. etc.
Except, I would wager that the contract is with the family and not just a single entity. With that said, firing one fires them all and A&E has voided the contract which I would wager is a violation of the terms on their part.
By the end of the week, we will know all the details. Then we can make learned assumptions instead of just assumptions.
You are correct, in my opinion.
Another point is that this is A&E. I mean it’s like throwing red dripping meat into a crocodile pit and being scandalized that the crocs start eating. I bet this duck dude isn’t shocked, he had to know who he was dealing with for years.
Freegards
Simply put, the left seeks to criminalize Christianity.
