Ducking Homophobes

Ok, cheap, likely overdone pun aside.  Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty has apparently been suspended indefinitely from the show following anti-gay remarks which A&E deem harmful to them.  Does anyone remember those little posts that used to go before movies/tv shows stating that the opinions depicted in the show don't necessarily reflect the broadcaster's opinion?  Well it still goes.  Sure, homophobic remarks are ignorant and reprehensible, but seriously, everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it's controversial.  I'm not defending the anti-gay comments, but really do they warrant that response?  I don't think that A&E should remove someone for their opinions no matter how poor or ignorant those opinions are.  Also, you get a bunch of old rednecks and make a show expecting nothing controversial to ever surface?  Get real.  Hell, at least if he's not on the show he's got the duck call business.
