    Which advertisers are pulling ads?
    If "Duck Dynasty" network A&E feared advertisers would scatter like waterfowl after a shotgun blast because of Phil Robertson's anti-gay comments ... it's not happening.

        THE THREAT of advertisers pulling their ads. Not all of them. And not only the ones that play during whatever ****ing stupid show this is.

                The threat of advertisers pulling ads is usually not that big a deal to big shows. It's been done to Rush Limbaugh repeatedly. They just get replaced by other advertisers, usually for only marginally less than before, and the prices quickly come back up. The only important thing is that they don't lose viewers. And comments like this don't generally lower ratings. Controversy increases them.

                          Obviously Robertson was burning the flag while making these comments.

                            What he "did" was spew a bunch of anti-gay drivel in a major magazine.

                            Conduct unbecoming.
                            I'm not sure I like your world of conformity of thought.

                            Crimethink is the Newspeak word for thoughtcrime (thoughts that are unorthodox or outside the official government platform), as well as the verb meaning "to commit thoughtcrime."

                            While I do not agree with his line of thinking, I certainly support his right to think it and I support his right to say that which he believes. He is not, as far as I have seen, guilty of any discrimination based on his thinking. He did not speak to his beliefs on his job.

                            It is hard to believe that any freedom loving person would want to punish someone merely for what they think.

                              Well AFAIK, Guy isn't a fan of "right to work" laws. He's merely stating why this is ok for AMC to do, due to the legal system in place.

                                Fair and legal are different things. When I said it was unfair, I did not say they should not be allowed to do it.

                                Also, Imran, what you're talking about are at-will employment laws, which are in place in all the US states and territories. Right to work only refers to not being forced to join a union. You work for the labor department, how do you mix that up?
