A and E 'Indefinitely' Suspends Duck Dynasty Star for Comments About Homosexuality
Homosexuals Get Duck Dy-Nasty "When I saw the headline yesterday about how "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson had commented on a certain sexuality-defined group, I wondered how long it would be before he got the "treatment."
"I saw the next headline no more than a few hours later." ...
... "How's that tolerance workin' for ya'?"
Newsmax "Free speech is an endangered species," Palin
wrote on her Facebook page Wednesday beneath a picture of herself posing with the A & E Network's reality stars. "Those 'intolerants' hatin' and taking on the Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing his personal opinion are taking on all of us."

For Duck Dynasty, Many Options Exist Outside Anti-Christian Hollywood
... "Make no mistake about the anti-Christian leftists in
Hollywood,
the mainstream media, and GLAAD; the goal here is to put on a bitter Show Trial until A&E caves even further and yanks "Duck Dynasty" off the air. The problem for A&E and the political left, though, is that in today's world, the boys of "Duck Dynasty" hold all the cards.
"What the Left is going to do over the next few weeks is launch a McCarthyistic campaign to toxify "Duck Dynasty" right out of Hollywood. The political left and the media already hated the show for daring to be proudly Southern, proudly Christian, and a monstrous hit; so the bonus of

"Will cooler heads prevail in the gay community, realizing that Christians ought to be allowed to have their two millennia-old beliefs respected in the public square? That would be the optimal outcome, but I don't really predict it will happen, as things now stand." Read more:
Remember the Hollywood Blacklist of the 1950s that has been condemned by the most of American society, especially Hollywood?
What was the Hollywood Blacklist? "The
Hollywood Blacklist was
a list of professionals who were not allowed to participate in the entertainment industry due to their suspected or confirmed political beliefs. As you might imagine, the
Hollywood Blacklist had a profound and far-reaching impact on the entertainment history in the middle of the 20th century, and it continues to be a topic of discussion and debate. Sadly for many of the people included on the
Hollywood Blacklist, this largely unofficial
blacklist ended the careers of many entertainment professionals, and seriously damaged the reputations of many more."
Hollywood Blacklist "Altogether some 500 people from the entertainment industry were black or graylisted. The graylist was a supplimentary list of writers and entertainers suspected, sometimes, of no more than lending a name as a "co-sponsor" of an event that was determined to have been "subversive.' "
