There's going to be a network boycott by a bunch of folks that can't even spell A&E.

82K Sign Petition Demanding Phil Robertson’s Return To ‘Duck Dynasty’, Sean Hannity Gives Out A+E Phone Numbers

UPDATE, 5:44 PM: Nearly 82,000 people, in about nine hours, have signed the IStandWithPhil petition, calling for A+E network to immediately reinstate Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson. The 77K “are making a clear statement to A&E that its actions are censoring Faith Driven Consumers and eliminating them from an entertainment choice that people of faith overwhelmingly support,” said Chris Stone, petition creator and founder of the the organization that says it connects “Christian consumers” with “faith-compatible companies.”

Meanwhile, those who don’t want to put their signatures on a petition were given phone numbers for A+E Networks execs by Sean Hannity, so they could vent on the phone. “A+E knows how he feels about this,” Hannity said on his radio show, of Robertson’s religious beliefs. “Why did they put him with a GQ guy in the first place? How stupid are they?” Then he gave them the phone numbers A+E Network CEO Abbe Raven and president Nancy Dubuc. “I’m not telling people what to say. Be polite. I always urge that. But call them and tell them what you think.”

Welcome. I have viewed a few of their shows and do not think it plays the family in good terms, it invites laughter or pity for this family, would not like the portrayal on my family. I am amazed he wants to speak I'll of anyone.
