Certainly A&N could face viewer consequences. However, unless I misread your posts, you claimed that Robertson's freedom of speech right was violated. How was A&N making a business decision a violation of Roberson's rights. If his free speech rights were violated than a true believer Nazi employee would have the same freedom of speech right to wear his armband at a Jewish school. |

Perhaps I did. My position is that Robertson has the right to speak his opinion and A&N has the right to fire him for doing it. As long as the Government doesn't get involved there is no violation. |

Ken, I think you are talking "prosecution" where Pat is talking "persecution". |

So the same folks that are for hobby house or whatever making a business decision based on their personal religious beliefs will not allow a &e to make a business decision based on their employees being a racist homophobe. How ironic |

Concerning individual rights, sometimes I think there is far more to fear from private businesses than from any government in this country. |

Berton, I don't believe that Robertson was either persecuted or prosecuted. He was allowed to state his beliefs and A&N was allowed to make a business decision. We can each agree or disagree with Robertson and agree or disagree with A&N. |

I read A & E lost over 70% of their audience with the "Duck" marathon. |
