In all the hoopla about Phil Robertson's remark concerning the bible's attitude toward homosexuality, few seem to have noticed that A&E's reaction is pure and simple one out of regard solely for their pocket book. They do not want to get sued by some advocacy group. It is not that they care about homosexuality per se, but that they just don't want to get sued. However, they may stand to lose a lot more money if 'Duck Dynasty' moves to another station.
The intimidation and shakedown artists are hard at work, and they have companies like A&E and Lockheed Martin shaking in their boots. The latter announced today that they are no longer going to donate money to the Boy Scouts of America over the BSA's policy of not allowing homosexuals to be counted among their adult leaders. UPS did the same recently as well. You can bet your bottom dollar that this is about the shakedown artists, the advocacy groups making the rounds and threatening law suits.
