Suggestion: Campaign to A&E over "Duck Dynasty" hiatus. .
Vanity | Dec 19, 2013 | Self

Posted on 12/19/2013 4:40:03 AM PST by Salgak

OK, gang. We're seeing the railroading of Phil Robertson for the high crime of professing his faith in response to a direct question.

1. We need to overwhelm A&E with support for Phil. Here's the email I sent to feedback@aenetworks.com. . .

To whom it may concern:

Apparently, A&E Networks find it objectionable that Phil Robertson, when asked a direct question, gave a direct answer and referenced the teachings of his faith.

For his honesty, which, frankly, is one of the charms of "Duck Dynasty", you've decided to put Phil on hiatus.

Well, I've put A&E on hiatus. AND, I've also put buying products and services advertised on A&E on hiatus, and will be informing each and every one of your advertisers of the fact. I'm sure that Wal-Mart, amongst others, will be in touch about that. . .

You might remember the Chik-fil-A brouhaha, and how that worked out. . . .

2. We need to execute the "Rakolta Technique": that is, we need a list of advertisers and products advertised on A&E, and then contact each and every sponsor promising NOT to buy their products UNTIL Phil Robertson returned to "Duck Dynasty". . .

Feedback ? Suggestions

No this is larger than just the Bible.

No.

John 15:18 succinctly sums up this situation.

Phil Robinson quoted the bible regarding homosexuality and added his opinion that he didn't understand why a man would find another man's anus sexually appealing and went on to say that the nations morals have been turned inside out. I would guess that, whether or not they accepted the scripture, a huge portion of Americans would agree with him.

Gays are a tiny fraction of the population yet have the power to silence anyone and even destroy careers. That is insane and happens because we allow them to have that power. This incident should be a 'red line' where the normal people push back on the queers and pedophiles. To paraphrase President Reagan: "If not now when? If not us, who?

From what I've seen on the show, Phil is a deeply Religious man. This issue has him walking in Jesus’ footsteps and I would imagine he's honored to do so.

I think a pretty apropos Scripture in this case is:

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
– John 15:18-19 (NIV)

Oops! I was writing out my post before you posted! Didn’t mean to repeat your sentiment.

Yeah, I know, facebook... Still surprised this page hasn’t been deleted there yet, but now pushing 400k likes in half a day.

Ugh. That poll might get erased.
It reads, “This comment is awaiting moderation,” and you have to click, “Show Comment,” to read it.

Thanks for the screenshot, though. I’m sharing it on the local news message boards that say, “A&E haven’t received any complaints about Robertson’s removal.”

Yeah, RIGHT!

That poll does show what unmolested public sentiment is.

That’d be 515k now...

So well over 4% of the audience for the record breaking season premier or just under half the average audience of the typical A&E show outside of Duck Dynasty. Someone had best be handing out the Depends over at A&E's executive headquarters.

Just turned it to A&E and lo and behold there’s Phil and Kay on Duck Dynasty. And checking the guide there’s a Duck Dynasty marathon on Sunday.
Imagine that. A banishment without a banning.... Whocodaknown?
